Your favorite stupid pool comments you love to hate

When you have a friend who isnt a player says "I got a regulation size pool table put in my house" I awalys how big is a "Regulation" size table is?and they never know the answere but awalys reassure me thats its "Reguation". You know they got robbed just by them saying that.


"Shoot a good stick"<----reminds me of bar players, drinker/drunk type of people who play pool with their drinking that takes an 90 minutes to finish one game of 8 ball because they are too busy shooting the shit an drinking not playing pool.


The hot shit guy who holds the chalk on the tip lets go of the cue leaning it about 75 degress up from the floor, and puts his foot on it 8" above the butt cap rolling it back and forth with the bumper rolling back and forth across the floor-which drills a hole in the chalk, putting a blue ring on the ferrel and looks like a kack off , personally I only chalk my bushkas and my 8pt gus like this. ;)


guys who say "you saying got not heart" when yu have never seen that person bet a dime-litterly 10 cents. To me heart isnt a contest its a charcter trait. There was a point I had less heart, I'll admit that, but man that was long ago I was a baby back then.


sothere is my list of sayings and actions

When the bar girls say they'll play you for a drink, and then stiff you when you win (though they always collect when you lose, which is often as they know every roll of the crappy, open-air island tables:p ).
 
I hate it when you call a safety in 8-ball and the opponent says that is chicken-sh** pool!

Or you want to play Vegas rules or to break it down for them, ball in hand rules, and they say no way! We are going to play by real bar rules!

Once I was gambling with this guy, playing 1-pocket and it was a long game. So I excused myself on my shot to go to the restroom. When I got back, he was shooting! When I asked what was going on, he said he shot for me while I was gone and I missed, so now it was his turn!!! :banghead: :thud:

Another time, I warned him that I would need to quit in an hour to get to work. When an hour passed and I told him I needed to leave, he said, "You can't quit me winner!" And I told him if I couldn't, then I might never leave, lol. I left...winner. :p
 
This kind of fits in here. I went out to a pool hall with a guy that I was working with. He knew that I played, but for whatever reason thought that it would be ok to play for something. I tried to talk him out of playing for anything, but he insisted. We started out playing $5 a game 8-ball on a 9 footer.

To me, this is a retarded game. Some may disagree, but 8-ball belongs on a 7 foot table or not at all. The tables are far too open on a 9 footer. Anyway, it's what he wanted to play. It turns out he's a "double or nothing" guy. You know the guy I'm talking about. He thinks, "I'll play double or nothing all night...eventually I have to win."

Well, he didn't. The only games that he ever one, was when he decided to play for half. (I really don't know how that happened. lol) Eventually I had him stuck for $1100 and we were playing double or nothing again. I ran the rack and was down shooting at the 8 when I decided to stand up. I looked at him and said, "I tell ya what...I have a deal for you, and I wouldn't do this for anyone else. I won't shoot this 8 ball, and I'll let you out for $1700." He took the deal.

After we get done playing he looks at me and says "It just wasn't fair, the balls were always lined up so easy for you."

Hahahahaha. That's my favorite of all time. I ended up letting him off the hook though. Guess I just couldn't stand to gut a fish for a months salary. Maybe next time.

I'll add to that. It is a pet peeve of mine when someone insists on saying nice shot as if to actually be a compliment. But what their feeble mind doesn't realize is that a nice shot must have a good out come like good SHAPE to be considered just that.

I hate it when they say nice shot before you even shoot.:angry:
 
I hope I dont hear here one more pool player or anyone else say " I just threw up in my mouth a little", no variation whatsoever, the same exact words-heard it ten thousand times already.
Puh-leeze!
 
Playing an older guy one night for some money and I was up on him. His Dad was setting there backing him and thinking that his boy could play which he can a little . We had been playing a few hours when I guess the dad was getting upset at seeing his son lose ... His son had started drinking a little while into playing and the father bursts out with ... "Son you keep playing and that Diet Dew drinking M..... F..... is going to take all our money ... " I had to laugh but it kind of pissed me off too, hell I was taking his money and beating him when he was sober...lol...
 
I use to play with a guy that every time he shot a safe he would tell you ... " Well guess you only have two options left now ... Hard D... or Popcorn and we just ran out of popcorn... " It was funny at first but got old real quick nothing made me happier then to make a shot and get out on him .. Or reverse the safe on him ...
 
Or they don't have to say anything and there is only piece of chalk on the table ... And they feel the need to carry it with them and constantly chalk thier cue even when they are not shooting ... Most times I have my own but there are times I dont feel like taking the case with me and just grab a cue to play with.
 
Oh, I almost forgot, and am surprised nobody said it yet;

"Take two weeks off and then quit."

It's funny you mention this where I live in WI if you travel to the next city the 8ball rules change. Every where you go they are different. So I always open with..."BCA"? and they hesitate for more the 1/3 of a second then they have no idea what you're talking about.


Now a days I am confident enough to play any bar fly to play whatever they want. But I still have them tell me "there" rules.
 
(QUOTE) from STONES
The guys that get me are the ones who are always muttering to themselves, frowning, shaking their heads and pointing to a spot on the table where the cueball should have ended up while they're running out!
I think, "Man, what does it take to make this guy happy?"
Gawd, that's irritating!
THAT IS VERY IRRATATING ! i hate that cr@p. rep to you.

when i was trying to make a few bucks playing pool, i would say i play better than this . i payed my way thru school palying pool, or i would say i have an uncle who is a pool shark. those were things many chumps always said.

You reminded me of this one: I hate it when a player misses shape and then spends 30 seconds pointing out the spot on the table where the cb should have ended up.

It doesn't bother me when people map out where their cb should go- that makes sense. But don't make the ball and then make a huge point of showing everyone where the cb should have landed now that you're hooked or screwed...

And that reminds me of this one.

I put too much draw on a shot causing the cueball to hop (haven't we all?). I still made legal contact with the object ball, and my opponent tried to call a foul on me for an illegal jump shot.

Why would I jump when the ball is right in front of me? DUH. :eek:
 
I hate this one.......

Ignorant guy: "I heard you are real good at shooting pool?"
Me: "I play ok, I like to play games for money."
Ignorant guy: "My (dad/cousin/brother/boy friend/whatever) will play you. He plays in pro tournaments in Vegas every year. He has a bunch of trophy's. He is a 6!!!"

Good one! I have had that happen, well the jump part I just ever had anyone call me on it. Actualyl the rules at league are very vag. They say you can jump, but it has to be your playing cue. And they never specify what they consider a legal jump.
