Here's a hustle someone passed along to me... Before playing 8 ball, clean one of the sets, either the stripes or the solids, and leave the other balls as they were... They WILL play differently.

Here's another. Take the game ball, whether it's the 8 or the 9, before the match, and give it a light coating of nose grease...

And a third... be sure to put out chalk at the table that looks quite new, but has been fixed. How do you "fix" chalk? Pour some 7-UP on it and let it dry. That chalk won't play the same as the good stuff...

Your turn...
 
Here's an old fashioned one....

Make all the balls and win without cheating.

:rolleyes:
 
Even better, leave the cap on the ketchup bottle unscrewed, and wait for the big payoff.

Or, better yet, wash your hands of those who think there is something cool about cheating at pool.
 
I agree 100%

One of my best hustles years ago was - to find someone like this guy and make sure he was doing some things like this to me.
One of my biggest scores (in the mid '70's) came from a game that a fellow wouldn't play - SO - I had another fellow go to him and take half of his action telling him he was going to put the drug "Hiacin" in my drink. I even gave him the Eye wash bottle (with pure water in it) to let the cheater see him put it in.
Bottom Line - Instead of playing for $2,500 a set I was really only playing for $1,250 a set. BUT I WON 9 SETS.
"Wonderful Country, America" !

TY & GL

Whatever you do, don't use all 3 at once! The fixed chalk will alter the deflection, precisely enough to virtually counter the effects from greasing the game ball with nose grease. Then add in the effects of half clean balls (solid and stripes) and your opponent's mind will naturally learn to compensate for the effects that were generated from the previous 2 hustles. Combine all 3 together and your opponent will be dead on, nuts with their natural compensations and unconscious aiming. While you will be stuck trying to mentally aim and adjust with your conscious mind delving into aiming techniques that'll leave you helpless and lost in the minutia.
 
I don't need any hustles to win, I just run out...

There's one fellow I know who has what he calls his sharking cue. He put a ball bearing in the bumper, and right when someone's in their backstroke clicks it once... I'll never play him for cheese again. His game is totally built around sharking. There are not a few people who regularly engage in that sort of despicable behavior at some of the pool halls in the area. Play those guys? Only if you're ready to lose, or if you're going to win, get ready for blatant shark attacks...

Of the three, the worst has to be the nose grease thing...

Nose Grease? How Bush League!! I like to lob a urine filled balloon at my opponent on the final practice stroke for the game ball. It's simple but effective.
 
My favorite hustle is the one that never works right because that way i always win more money.
 
Hustle? Heck...I just tell em I know a midget that can kick there a$$ one handed...and then I DO IT!

Shorty
 
Actually, nose grease is too easy to spot someone doing... Just as good is eating a piece of greasy fried chicken or french fries before you rack 'em up... On the other hand, one of those trucker bombs will make 'em all real happy

I know this guy in my local area and he is supposed to be a billiard instructor.

He likes to eat chips, talk on the phone and to other people, chalk his cue, wipe his shaft, and move around whenever his opponent is shooting. It is not only annonying since he was constantly moving like a yoyo and making noises, but he keeps putting the grease from his chips--and what ever else he has got on his hand after he licks his fingers--onto the balls and the cloth. The grease also goes from the cue ball to the tip. When he is done, the cloth is covered with chips and salts and grease marks.

Since he is always losing and thus racking, after a few racks, the balls become very greasy and both players will start to mis cue. This guy being the "instructor" that he claims to be, will start checking if he is keeping his elbow up, if he is putting his foot in the right place, if he is freezing at the cue ball and so on. He will take forever to shoot and then ask his opponent to hurry up.

I have never seen him run out a 9 ball table in the five years or so since I first met him, but I will never play him if I have a choice.

A few months ago, I saw him putting up a poster advertising his clinic, and he said something to the effect of "my clinic is all about sportmanship."

Flex none of what you mentioned were 'hustles', they are all just cheating at the game. A hustle is usually where you win (or lose) legally to get the cheese, but you were decieving of how you went about doing it.
