Saw a regular gambling at 1p yesterday. This guy has been gambling forever, and has played some greats for thousands over the years. Wins a lot but also has gamble and is not afraid of giving weight or a tough game.
He is also a guy who retires every year or so for a few months and then makes a comeback.
Yesterday he lost 4 games (@25 a game). He says to me "do you want to buy this cue before I break it?" I just laughed and said "that bad?"
He turns around and says "I paid 700 for this cue (it's a beautiful cue). Anyone want it?" Guy approaches him and says.."How much?"
"Hundred bucks". Says the disgusted player.
Other guy hands him a Benjamin. Quickly. Disgusted guy takes the hundred, and hands it to the guy he lost to, and hands the cue to Mr. Benjamin. Then says "I'm done playin"... And walks out.
Just another day in the pool room I guess. But it was certainly crazy to witness.
