I played a total a$$hole tonight. It often happens, esp to women, but very very rarely in her own room. I'd forgotten it could happen, I'm so secure in my homeroom, and it was so blatant it was almost (almost) funny.

From being late --to screaming --to starting off calling me darling before even flipping for break --to cold racking --to taking a break during my shot... (AND he would only play safe because if he attempted a run out he couldn't make 2 balls. Then he insisted on running to the bathroom, and suddenly he could make 5 ball runs? And he was wild- eyed and sniffling?!?) This guy was a walking AZ thread on a$$holes. I didn't give him any attention, never spoke directly to him except when I said that he should take his break on his turn (he yelled, 'i trust you!' and ran off). I missed balls I shouldn't have, but he also played safe every chance (i kicked like a damned mule, though- he never got me on three) and then after his little break he started running out.

But he called me darling, sweetie, cheered after every shot I attempted or made, stood against the table, talked sh*t to anyone who would listen... talked sh*t afterwards about how he creamed me...

I'm going through a lot at home and work right now, so I don't even know how I would normally react. But today I saw the humor, reminded myself to breathe, and didn't give him and attention or facial expressions at all. Next week, who knows. Last month, dunno, either.

But what would you have done?
 
This is why I don't play in leagues or small local tournies. Too many *$$holes. You could have jumped the cue ball off the table and knocked some of his teeth out for him. It really gets on my nerves when "players " don't respect the game or their opponent. You did the right thing by just ignoring him I guess, but it would be nice if some one would teach him a lesson. The nose candy will catch up to him eventually. Then when some guy in prison is calling him "Darlin and Hun" you'll have your revenge :p .
He did take you out of your game and that's something you need to work on, me too, play your game no matter what is going on around you.

good luck

It's time for your league to institute, Not-so-Random Drug tests....

Sorry to hear it wa that Bad. There was really nothing you could do but laugh at it, and go on. I do hate for some Jerk to ruin my league night too.
 
Next time you see him doing this call the local police and tell them that there is a wild man on drugs playing pool.
 
If he "trust you" when he leaves while your shooting, just pick up all your balls and put them in the pocket. When he returns, the game is over and he lost. He won't "trust you" again, darling. :D

First I play bar pool, so about every game I am ever in is like that. When the guy starts with all the "girl" talk, that usually makes me play better...just so I can but him in his place. And I would follow up with is comments with something along the lines of, "Gosh, I hope you can make this ball..it would suck getting beat by a girl." You wouldn't believe the number of guys who consider that little line a too much pressure and they fold. I had a guy, a freind at that, beet red and so pissed because I kept wipping his ass over and over...finally he was so mad that he ran out on me and was like I'm going hme now..bye. LMAO. IMO, don't sweat it.

Just trying to find his way into your heart and pants ... lol You should have
just bent over the table, and said in a loud voice, "Can you just go ahead
and get this over in the next 10 seconds, so we can go back to playing
Pool?" ..... ROFL
 
It's funny there were so many comments about bars and leagues (good line, LS)- that's exactly what it felt like. However, this was Hard Times in Sac- NOT a place you f* around in. (Book- if I called the cops on a crazed druggie poolplayer, they'd have to arrest at least half the people in there :D )

They were training a new tourney director and anyone with any authority was preoccupied around the corner. I took a break in the last game just to breathe and recoup (i know no one shd be able to take me out of my game and I gotta be ready for wack surprises. That should always be said, over and over again, Dawg :( . So, if anything, i've got a new experience to remember the next time.) When I took the break the tourney director decided to come watch the match because it was so unlike me to "need a break" in a dumb weekly $5 race- to- 4 B tourney. Two balls later the guy flew the 9 and it was over.

I did hear that they kicked him out mid- tourney and asked him not to come back. His behavior not only continued to be obnoxious, but as they watched carefully he showed that he was actually a very proficient A player.
