Re: pool hustlers
first hand experience.....I am now 38 years old and grew up in a pool hall. In college I have matched up with Johnny Archer, Shannon "Doughboy" Daugherty and others that have money and will bet high. Keep in mind that betting high in pool is not like betting high in poker.
Being +EV in pool is almost impossible because of the degens you have to be associated with. Grinding the pokers is 1000 times better then playing on the road.
I was fortunate enough to realize this at a young age. All (and I mean ALL) of my friends that made a run at it ended up dying from drug overdoses or broke.
real life isnt like the movies unless you are a Philipino. Every Philipino I ever met was a world beater and could play 48 hours straight and never got out of stroke.
[censored] pool.
**edit: OP, you have put me on tilt making me remember how [censored] hustling pool was 20 years ago....sigh, no more poker tonight.
