Stupid term and can't stand it, not much different when someone calls you a hustler when you beat them in a bar or something. Too me hustling is laying down and holding back, I always say how did I hustle you by playing good and running out?
Why is somebody called a pool shark?

A greenie for that. This is exactly why Mosconi said he never hustled in his life.
Well, if you've ever walked into a pool hall and been circled and sized up by the hustlers that ply their trade in said establishment, you understand quickly why they used the "shark" reference.
I would rather be a pool shark , than a pool bum.
Uh huh
LOL I sure do remember that scene; way back when, I walked into an old billiards place in San Francisco called Palace Billiards.
You had to climb a bunch of stairs to get to the 2nd floor room, and as soon as you appeared at the top of the stairs, 2 or 3 guys would approach you and ask if you wanted to play some......circling like sharks smelling blood.....

Better to be a shark than a common fish. LoL
