I played a weekly handicapped tournament at Chris's in Chicage. My opponent ate a bag of chips, crinkeling the bag real loud. That didn't work so he stood directly in my line and dropped his pants.
What's the worst move you have ever seen?

i won't say who, but twice i have had bad experiences with women that were stunned they were on the loosing end of the set (quite an insult to my game to say the least, but obviously a shark move to rawl me up). one actually tried to say she had one the majority of the games when she had merely one or two in a long race; the other had me recount every nine ball made in the set when on the hill (this from an eventual pro player) - how i remembered, i have no idea, but the pool gods must have been watching over me because out of nowhere, i spouted them off and she just sat there in a stunned state. the hardest part about that was i played in the zone most of the time, so i truly have no idea how i remembered it. just goes to show, if you are on the right side of the law, justice will prevail
shame on them.
good for you!
Funny thing about the zone I can sometimes remember tiny details that weren't important, even months later. I wasn't disturbed by them at the time but my mind was filtering everything.
Moving a coin from diamond to diamond after every game keeping count is a good practice to counter such folks as you met up with.

A true maniac, but that's what makes great muscle.
You should tell another Rusty story in the Legendary Muscle thread. Seems he meets the qualifications
Just For Drinks
My buddy and I were playing doubles in a busy bar just for drinks. Two hot chics got up. I didn't want to lose because there were about 10 sets of quarters up and it would have taken 2 hours to get back up. Anyhow, I run down to the 8 and it's dead straight in the corner. I'm in mid stroke and one of the chics gives me the reach around and grabs my junk from behind. I scooped the cue ball and jumped over the 8 and swooshed it in the corner pocket...nothing but net. For some strange reason I just couldn't get mad about it.

It's Pat !!!
Well, I hope this fits into the "move" category, I think it does.
Back when a local room was still open, there was a person that used to come in now
and then named "Chris". The person shot OK, and I had seen folks play Chris now and then,
but at the time, I thought I was below Chris's level, and turned down offers to play some
sets of nine-ball.
Well, one day, we did start playing a set. After a while, some of my friends came in, who did
not know Chris. They were watching for a while. They were trying to make conversation with
me, and it was a little tough though, because I honestly did not know if it was a man or a woman.
After I while, I had to find out, as it started bothering me. No one could tell me for sure.
All I got was shoulder shrugs, and a slight smile from them.
You don't know how hard it is to try and talk about someone when you don't know whether
to say she or he. I had to struggle to phrase things like "this sharpshooter".
And later, about half the folks asked me how I did against "em", or against "er", and it was quite funny.
I did find out at a later point in time. No one knew for sure if the clothes, hairstyle, etc., was intentional.
Very similar to "Pat" on the original "Saturday Night Live" show.

you are gonna love this - the first was while using beads on the ceiling and the other was with coins, YET, there was a huge issue with both nutjobs. people that know me, know i don't have to cheat to beat them, nor would i if i couldn't win. you just never know what you will run into.
I had a friend go to a small- medium size town Got into action with a good player known for gambling owners son of a pool hall they played $900 sets my friend loses the first set they lose the poolhall agree to come back in the morning to play more so he pays him. Comes back in the morning my friend wins the first two sets up $900 hasnt gotten paid yet about to start a 3rd set when the other guy tells him he has to make a phone call comes back in stalls for for few minutes grabs some food and talks a little. 10 minutes latter the police come in yelling thier is illegal gambling going on everyone has 5 minutes to pack up and leave or go to jail.... so my friend left stuck never getting paid and out the orginal $900.
Noone plays with that guy anymore either. I havent heard anything new about it just chalked it up as a lesson..
