What's the worst move you have ever seen?

So I've seen some basic moves pulled during some gambling matches but nothing that crazy. Talking, wiggling, standing at the table, playing bad music, grabbing the $ off the light and running out the door, etc. What are some of the more creative moves you have seen and what were they playing for. If you can say who then do tell.
 
An M80 thrown in a garbage was the best one i have seen yet,certain will rattle someone and break their conversation for sure and also scare everyone in the room. :D
 
How about the main power being switched off 'accidentally' during a gambling match? No accident.
 
Scenario, Hill - Hill for 5 bennies. Player B breaks and runs out to the nine and dogs it! Leaves a 3 foot hanger.

Player A says hold on, he runs out to his car, and comes back in with a little CD radio. He proceeds to hit play on the CD player which just so happens to start playing... "Who Let The Dogs out? who who who who"


I couldn't help it, I laughed myself to tears.

Player A made the hanger BTW. Part of me wishes he woulda dogged it after that little spectacle but karma didn't strike that quickly.
 
Being down on the case 9 ball to win the set and hearing the very distinct sound of the hammer of a gun being cocked somewhere behind me.

Game of one pocket for something.

Guy's down on the shot, and his opponent freakin' kicks a trash can ten feet or so...

And yep, the shot was dogged.
 
A big, bad dude about 6' 10" saying "if you make this 9 ball I'm gonna hit you on top of the head so hard it'll break both your ankles."
 
I watched two people play. Betting a few hundred. I think the game was pretty close in speed for both players. Yet the one guy loses and grabs all the money off the light and says "You better catch me before I get to the car/truck because I have a gun in it" and then goes outside while saying something like he was hustled. The guy who said this didn't need a gun to begin with as he was multiple times the size of the other guy. I truly believe is was a close game too and they were playing even. Guess he didn't feel that way.
 
Maybe 6 or 7 years ago I was at a place called Lucky John's in Orange County (I think). I was staking my friend Vince Vai against some monster and pulled out $200 loser because I didn't like the game. The big monster took his cue and raised it above my head threatening to hit me with it:mad: because I refused to lose any more $ without adjusting the game. My friend Vince had to jump in the middle to make sure the guy wouldn't hit me with his stick. I should of known to not get involved with any game with this jack a$$ because he was at College Billiards the week before and spit on one of the local players:eek: . Needless to say, I learned a lesson that day...
 
Deleted.. Probably not worth the write up.

Was just a short story of me when I was 18 and winning all the bar table tourns in the bars in my hometown and what I had to fade. Almost all the players at every bar threatening me because they were tired of me winning. I averaged about $600 a week from them for a whole year and when I finally quit going had won a little over 100 tourns in that year and won 27 straight tourns. I just got tired of dealing with all the drama at each tourn.

Didn't see it.....felt it.........

Down on the nine, last shot last game of a double or nothin......guy whacked me across the back with house stick and ran with the funds.. Sorta slowed me down for a coupla days........:(
 
I heard about this one during a daytime 1-hole match in a dark pool hall. Player A pretends to look out the blinds, and says "someones breaking into a red Buick out there", (knowing player B owns a red Buick). Player B then runs to the window, and peeks through the blinds. He's relieved to see nobody near his car, but after the bright sun in his eyes, he's barely able to find the table.

I've had that happen to me twice, once with a trash can, and once with a stool. (I made the shot with the trash can, but the stool cost me a hundred)
 
bar tournament

The only successful move I can remember is a guy acting like a major ass in the finals of a bar room tournament. Obnoxious to the nth degree. In that day and time I would have normally just given him a bounce test and told the owner to split first and second if the guy didn't feel like playing any more. Problem was a good friend of mine had just opened this place and was trying to build a business here.

The irresistible urge to tap the guy coupled with being unable to in my friend's place cost me the match. Normally, getting mad just makes me focus more and run out but the conflict was a killer for me.

I played a girl with a trick top back then. It was a good move but not on me, I had better waiting other places. Her top didn't look that outrageous, moderately low cut but nothing was falling out. However when she bent over to shoot the loose fitting outfit dropped down from her body close to a foot and you could see all the way through it top to bottom. She was braless and wearing button up pants, all clearly seen looking down the top, . . . not that I noticed! :D

I know of a very similar story involving Santos Sambajon. My buddy grew up in the Philipines and was watching a match where Santos was loosing and his backer didn't like it much. Without saying a word he pulled out a .45 and set it on the table. Santos got in gear and won the match.
 
I'm in half with this player. My "guy" is up about $650 at fifty a game. Our opponent walks back to the bathroom/phone area. Two or three minutes later, the cops bust in with guns drawn. They were screaming something about guns and murder. Our "opponent" walked out during all of the comotion.

Great Motivator ! :D
 
I'll quote Tony Watson on this one. We were at the Red Willis Memorial Tournament in Greenville about 5-6 years ago and a group of us were standing outside around a truck shooting the breeze. It was about 99 degrees in the dead middle of summer and it was probably hotter inside. A seven or eight year old Landon Shuffett comes walking through the parking lot and stops just short of us, lifts his Pepsi can and proceeds to dump it on his head and face to "cool down". His father Stan just looked at him in disbelief and shook his head. We were all laughing and Tony said "Damn, that may be the worst move I've ever seen". Priceless.
