I know a lot of my posts are somewhat unbelievable, but let me tell you how I use to act hustling in strange bars most of the time. No fear. First if I could I’d make friends with the owner, bartender, or bouncer, by buying them drinks or flat out paying them off. When I went in alone (no partner) I acted almost as bad as Vince in the COM long before the movie. I would run around the table and hit the next shot almost before the QB stopped. I would say, “it had to go, it was dead” when ever I slopped one in. Most of the time after an hour or so the bar was split or in favor of their friends that were playing me.
Most of the time after I won I’d buy drinks for the bar with some of the winnings. While I was making more friends, almost always there was one guy that said I was lucky or that I wasn’t that good. That was the guy I was waiting for all night. By the time we matched up I had more friends at the bar than he did. About 90% of the time I’d take this guy down for more than I made in the place all night. When it backfired, it was time to run or fight. No matter which way I chose to go (and get away with the hustle) it was a rush that only coke can trump…and even that’s a close call. Johnnyt
