Ok I was just looking for some thoughts on how to handle a problem i have had in the past since i have all but stopped gambling on pool and went strickly to tourny play. Ill outline the problem that happened to me and how I dealt with the problem.
Player X walks up to me and asks me to gamble some cheap sets for $100.
I reply no ty im not interested.
Player X keeps barking at me and really starting to bother me saying he is younger and it should be a good match.
I reply no ty i stopped gambling im jsut here for the tourny.
Player X CONTINUES to talk trash and give me grief with his friends there helping to keep it stirred up.
I have finally had enough and tell him to stand on his head and what ever falls out is what we will bet.
Player X laughs and says sure but then he asks why im putting my cues up.
I reply cause i told you i dont want to gamble so me and you will take this outside and that wont be gambling for me.
Player X gets bent out of shape and asks me what MY problem is .
OOOOKKKKKKK looking back it was kinda silly for me to ask him outside ( and i did not exclude his friends if they wanted to join in) but i had jsut taken all i could and it seemed i was the BAD GUY in the room for gettign tired of this kids ego and mouth. As i said looking back i could have done diffrently but at the moment it was the best thing my poor old mind could come up with.
Just looking for your thoughts not just people to scream YEAH YOU WERE RIGHT and such. And if you have had to deal with this type problem before.
ty in advance
