What's a hustler's favorite pool cue? Is it a house cue? A sneaky pete? A Cuetec? Something really flashy and expensive?
 
Get one of those solid colored Cuetecs. Got to the pool room and just start firing balls straight into the pockets with no cue ball. See how fast you get action.
 
I stopped to see Sammy Jones at Loreejon's Pool Tables Plus Monday, and he had some gawdawful PINK cues!
 
Back in Stevie Moore's hustlin hay days he used an unsigned LIME green custom Gulyassy made exclusively for him and his road action.

How about something with "Budweiser" or "Harley Davidson" splashed on it?
 
I would say that their favorite cue is a custom but their usual playing cue is a house cue.

I think the term sneaky pete came from people trying to hustle pool using a plain looking cue with a good shaft that didn't stand out as a special cue. I would think a sneaky pete type cue would be more common with pool hustlers.
 
Is anyone really able to hustle with a sneaky pete? How would you carry it around with you? I guess you could hope that no one sees you, but that seems risky.

thats only half of it, Get the balls and go set them on the billiard table, be loud to attract attention to your self, rack the balls and break them and play for 5-10 minutes before you realize there are no pockets. then go asking around while carring your cue how do you play pool on a table with no pockets, you'll find a game probably an easy one at that.

i have seen this happen once the guy broke the balls and actually shot a few shots before he realized there were no pockets, there were about 6 or 7 of us trying aou best not to start laughing, sad part is he had a hott girl with him, what the hell was she thinking?
 
When I was out on the road, before most of you were born (LOL), I left my Joss West in the trunk and used an old beat up Muecci sneaky pete especially if I was running the bars looking for action.

Can't tell you the number of times I'd walk into a poolroom with the Joss and a player would jump up and say, "Wanna play some cheap 9 ball?".

As soon as I pulled out the Joss, they would take one look and say, "We can't play cuz anyone with a stick that nice has gotta be able to play!"

Believe me, the ol' Muecci made me tons more money than the Joss every did.

As far as the way I carried the sneaky pete, I would screw it together in the parking lot and walk into the room and immediately lean in against the wall. Few ever noticed.

Occasionally, someone would notice the long ferrule and that was a dead give away.
