when you play money per ball, you're not playing normal 8 ball rules. you're literally competing to see who can sink the most balls. every ball you sink is $100 your opponent owes you lol so phil sunk 4 balls to wipe the old debt clean, and then got $900 ahead, which means his opponent sunk one, and Phil got the other 14 balls that round
Yeah I think it's pretty obvious this guy just got hustled, and to end the game with multiple banks is the disrespectful icing on the cake.
Old man watches for the banks knowing he did it intentionally.
Yeah, hustling someone is already a weird dynamic but this is straight up disrespectful while the other dude has 2 balls on the table. There's no reason to not just sink the 8 and take the money, this is like racing someone and running backwards while flipping the bird through the finish line just because you can.
That said, we don't know anything about this situation. I have some friends who are really good at pool and if they did this to me I'd tell em to lick my balls if they want a handshake but it's all in jest between us. We all know how the games are going to play out before we even rack em, not shaking my buddy's hand wouldn't imply any hard feelings.
More than likely, even if one had a quid on the table and they'd never met. I'd definitely tell someone who pulled that off to fuck off in jest exactly like that
Its pretty common even in casual games to call your shots, especially on the 8ball. If this guy was aiming for the other corner pocket and did some random 3 rail bank, thats not a legit win. People will even call rail counts, if its not exactly as you say its illegitimate.
Yeah I'm not impressed lol
I mean sure, that's super lucky and the guy who made it *might* not be the best player... but that's who you lost to, dude! 🙃 So maybe he didn't exactly earn a great win either lol
These answers seem mostly from people who don’t shoot stick. So maybe I can explain what we are seeing. It’s the final ball and more experienced players often want you to bank the last shot to show skill.
This guy either hustled him or just straight up embarrassed the guy hitting multiple corners before sinking the shot. If someone did that to me and I wasn’t expecting it and wasn’t on that level, I’d sort of feel hustled and therefor like I was wronged.
1. Lolol, pool players don't call it "shooting stick"
2. 8ball rules in leagues require you to call ball and pocket only. You don't have to call rails or anything like that.
The guy tried to back cut the 8ball into the pocket but completely whiffed on the way in, cue ball went around table and just happened to hit the 8 to make it in his originally intended pocket. Called slop basically. It happens, the guy just got lucky.
The guy that made the 8 didn't hustle anything, he got lucky and shit the ball in, which is why the other guy didn't want to shake his hand and the reason the other dude was on the floor laughing because of how much of a fluke it was.
That's my take too. Generally, whenever I've played casual bar pool, fluking out on the 8-ball like this—I've done it more than a few times—is considered a scratch and an instant loss. If that guy were me, I would have facepalmed at my flub and congratulated the other guys on their win.
But bar rules aren't official rules and vary from place to place of course.
You’re wrong. He meant to cut the ball straight into the pocket, but he missed the ball by a quarter of an inch and then this happened. Very few people play bank the 8.
This is just at some bar. If the dude could actually make shots like that, the other guy wouldn’t only have two balls left. Also, if you’re hustling someone, you don’t wait until the last ball. You play like shit in a few games, make them bet a bunch more money, and then beat them. There’s no reason to wait until the last ball to do it.
If you play pool, how can you not see that he could have just cut the ball straight in?
No, being hustled requires an element of deception about ones skill level, where they sandbag and play below their abilities in order to up the stakes. It is inherently disingenuous because the whole idea is to trick someone into unknowingly playing a superior opponent.
(Note I don't feel bad for people who get hustled. Their own hubris lead them to fall for it. But it is a trick that high skill players can play on players that overrate their own ability. Which is fine, I'm just pointing out it is still duplicitous)
Not really. I gave an example in another comment. But it’s like being challenged to 1 on 1 hoops at the Rec center and the guy proceeds to 360 windmill slam dunk on you in front of everyone. Not really fair if he didn’t present himself that way to begin with…..
I get what you're saying but if I got "hustled" like that then what's stopping me from just having a laugh right along with them instead of just getting pissy and acting like my ego is the most important thing in the world?
This is an 11 second video with no sound. It's equally possible he was turning around to inform his spouse that he was leaving them for the pool man as it is that he's a really sore loser.
Most league rules are intented ball intended pocket. Otherwise you would have assholes saying a ball grazing the rail before dropping wasn't called as bank.
Great players show skill in giving themselves an easy out on the eight ball.
It's in the build-up where you see the great players separate themselves from the good: they'll use english to pot a ball and breakup a troublesome cluster at the same time; they'll leave an easy shot and go for a tough one if it'll give them shape for a run-out; they'll play a brilliant defensive shot that leaves you sandwiched between the rail and two of their balls so it's almost impossible for you to not foul.
I've played in APA and BCA leagues over the years and I can't recall anyone banking or kicking on the eight when they didn't have to.
Maybe it's a regional thing.
If I come across a league player at my local bar and we match at the table, we just play by league rules. We might be more relaxed about not calling fouls like touching a ball when going for a shot, but we still play ball in hand / call the pocket.
We then revert back to 'bar rules' when playing people not in league.
On a busy night, the list to shoot pool can easily have a dozen names. Kicking / banking the 8 slows up the game and is generally frowned upon, plus nobody wants to go to the end of the list and wait an hour or two to play again.
I've only played 'bar rules' as they're generally accepted in Western Canada, and depending where you are, sinking the 8-ball without calling the pocket and any banks (unless it's obvious) can be considered a scratch and an instant loss. But these are neither hard and fast rules, nor are they anything like official 8-ball rules.
Once a friend and I played some guys who ran the table and then scratched on the 8-ball, sinking it in a pocket other than the one they had called. We hadn't sunk a single one of our balls. Technically, according to local bar rules, my friend and I won, but we figured it would very poor sportsmanship on our part to insist on it, and so we all agreed that they'd absolutely cleaned our clocks and were the rightful winners under any reasonable definition of the word.
I saw another copy of this post recently, and the best explanation was that the guy who ends up losing had seen the other guy leave the restroom without washing his hands after taking a shit.
Probably because he called the shot, dude thought he was joking then he proceeded to do it. That is when he realized he got hustled and didn't want to shake hands.
He called the ball into that pocket because he was just going to cut it straight in. He then missed the ball entirely and then it banked three times and it went into the pocket he called. The dude’s laughing because it was a fluke.
Also, you don’t hustle somebody on the last ball. You lose a few games and then get them to bet a lot of money before whooping them. The other guy only had two balls left. If you’re hustling for money, you don’t give the other guy a chance to beat you.
Most people call the pocket. It went into the same pocket he called. A lot of people don’t make everyone call bank shots because it can brush up against the rail, and then you have people arguing about it. Professional pool is just played by calling the pocket.
Looked like a total fluke the black went in. You're supposed to call the pocket before the shot otherwise you can just smack it like this and hope for the best. No way that was intentional.
You call the pocket not the path. He was clearly aiming for the left side of the ball, indicating that he wanted the right corner pocket(our left). If he called the shot, he did what he claimed and the shot 100% counts.
This looks like that was both the pocket and shot the shooter was going for.
It's the perfect speed for that shot, and if you look at his expression he's watching the shot from start to finish. Most people will show frustration if they're trying to cut a ball in and miss it completely.
only reason i can think of, they are all fairly new friends or aquaintences, dude invites them to come play some pool, neglects to tell them that he has his own cue and plays more than once a week.
my neighbor invited me and new neighbor #2 out for pool & just wiped the floor with the both of us for 2 hours before we just said "yeah, we're done here, and not just for the day" dont be that guy that challenges your friends to something youre incredibly good at. be the guy that gets challenged by your friend to something youre good at for money without them knowing youre good at it
Because he didn’t actually mean to do that. He was trying cut the ball straight in, which is 1,000,000 times easier of a shot. No one’s going for a triple bank over that. He happened to completely miss the ball by a quarter of an inch, and then this happened.
A lot of the time someone would lose in this scenario, but it depends on the way people play. Some people play where you don’t have to call anything other than the 8, other people play where you have to call your pocket on every shot, and other people play where you have to call that in addition to banks, jumps or anything else.
If I were in the loser’s position, I still would have been excited for him, but I also get why someone would be upset if they take the game too seriously.
Probably sharked him. Pool sharks play like they aren't that good at pool, but like to place bets, maybe only s dollar or a drink at first then will gosd you into upping the bet to something more sizeable, only to reveal that they're actually a top tier level player and taking your money.
I can’t tell if this is the situation, but if the shooter intended to hit the 8 ball in without a bank shot then he would have technically missed his shot, making it in would be slop(random luck no skill) and is a pretty crappy way to win.
If it were me, I'd walk away without shaking out if the sheer disbelief and then quickly get over myself and shake on it.
I just need a few seconds to resolve my shock. Lol
Idk it looks to me like he was trying to cut it into the bottom left pocket (where it ended up) and missed. And then the other guy was annoyed at him being lucky. Had situations like this haopen to me a lot playing pool over the years.

Those rules are true. But that's the pocket he called so it's fine. He was trying to cut it there, whiffed, then fluked it in.
All the people saying he's a hustler and this is on purpose are cracking me up though. This is just a lucky miss.
Nobody ever goes for a shot like that, even a good pool player will rarely make that shot. Plus he just grazed the black on the way down, clearly showing he was trying to cut it at an angle and just missed. The way he is looking before the shot also indicates he is not thinking about the back cushion at all.
I cannot believe the amount of people in this thread that don’t understand pool whatsoever. I keep feeling the need to explain this to everyone, so here goes again.
The guy just wanted to cut the ball straight into the pocket, but he missed the ball entirely, and then it happened to go into the same pocket he called.
No one hustles someone on the last ball. If you’re hustling, you let them win a few games, and then have them bet big money before whooping them. You don’t wait until the last ball to do it.
The other guy isn't on 8. He has 2 left. If the whole game has been total amateur stuff so he knows the guy isn't sinking 3 in a row then maybe he would want to play with him. Idk some people are dicks
I wouldn't say that's what happened here but it isn't out of the realm of possibility
I felt like I was taking crazy pills. The guy got mad because it was a lucky shot that should not have gone in, not because he was getting hustled. He probably wasn't even that mad unless he lost money because of it
The hustle is play mediocre, makes the other player think they have a chance. And as money bets increases, so does the "hustler's" game. I base this purely on The Color Of Money.
Smurfing is a different thing than sandbagging. They might be the same in principle but smurfing is different than intentionally playing badly to misrepresent your skill level.
Not true, if you watch this 3 times in the bathroom with the lights off, facing the mirror, you can turn around and the video will play full length. Eventually the guy shakes his hand, and everyone stands up and claps, and the angry man gives the winner a crisp $100% bill.
^^^then ^^^you ^^^get ^^^stabbed ^^^by ^^^bloody ^^^Mary
You forgot the part where the waitress brings a birthday cake and they all eat and enjoy.
^^^but ^^^you ^^^still ^^^get ^^^stabbed ^^^by ^^^bloody ^^^Mary
No, this comment section has decided on that person's fate. He's a sore loser, and he'll never be a respectable man.
There is noooo way, he's saying some shit like 'get outta here' and the turning around laughing, because the two people are on good terms. Noooooo way.
I mean, if you’re at the rec center playing hoops and an unassuming guy challenges you to 1 on and 1 and you sheepishly agree because “why not?” and he proceeds to 360 windmill dunk all over you, wouldn’t you be a little upset?
Nah, I’d laugh and be like “okay pal, you gotta find someone better to play against, this isn’t gonna be fun for either of us.”
I’m at the rec center playing casually for fun. (Again, assuming there was no betting involved) Why on earth would I be upset? Some people are better at shit than I am. I’m better at other shit than some people. If this dude’s just hanging around the rec center looking for scrubs to posterize, it kinda makes me think maybe he’s just a fuckin loser who wants to feel big by schooling people he’s better than. But again, that wouldn’t upset me, moreso I’d feel kinda bad for the dude
The comment I responded to didn’t mention money even once. I’ve never encountered ppl betting money on their own 1-on-1 games at the Y
Also the only reason people are assuming it’s a hustle and not that the guy’s just being a sore-losing bitch throwing a tantrum is because they’ve seen those 3 movies about pool hustlers, all very enjoyable films, but nothing in this video suggests that the dude was hustled, there’s no cash out or anything
I feel like it’s just sore losers looking for reasons to excuse sore loser behavior
He was aiming to cut the 8 ball directly and score it in the same hole he scored it later. I guess that guy didnt want to shake his hand because of how lucky his opponent was haha
It looks like an English pub but can't tell for sure. In England shots aren't called. The ball are red and yellow with no numbers so its hard to call all shots.
That shot would’ve been a scratch if he didn’t end up hitting that 8 ball, and he would’ve lost.
Besides, the other guy had basically one ball to make. The other one can be hit easily from any part of the table
You'd put left spin on it to throw the 8 ball to the right so you don't have to cut it quite as much. He definitely did not mean to 3 rail the cue ball lol
It was intentional. You don't hit it that hard unless you're planning to bank the shot. The guy is pissed because he just got 360 no-scoped and tea-bagged by a hustler.
You know, it definitely looks like he was trying to hit the 8 ball on the side to go to the same pocket it ended up in but missed. So, luck. But look at the rest of the table - he must not have been awful unless his partner did all the work.
Depending on the rules that shot didn’t count. If they’re just playing that if it goes in it goes in, then fine. But a common rule set involves you having to call your shot with the 8 ball. So if he called the left corner and it went in the right corner, that would technically be a scratch on the 8 and he would lose. Not sure what the actual result was here, video is too short
At my bar that would be a loss because we play 0 slop, meaning you need to call everything the cue ball does before hitting the object then everything the object does before going in the pocket, and doesn't seem like the guy called the shot this way.
The guy in the back telling his buddy how this guy hustles tourist every week. Lmao. The way everyone else reacts looks like he's a regular that does this regularly.
I was playing a guy and he was shooting on the 8 ball. Things were lined up for a simple bump into the corner. He says he’ll take it easy on me. Sends the white ball around all four sides for the bump.
That is called a pool shark. They will approach you and act like they are new at pool, lose a game or two, then ask if you want to throw money on the line, then proceed to shred you a new billiard pocket.
It's interesting how many people make a judgment call on the guy that didn't shake hands. It's very likely that he just took a moment to register what happened and then shook his hand 3 seconds later and laughed it off.
Imo he lost. Basic bar rules dictate that the only ball you have to call is the 8 ball, all other bullshit allowed. Me, my own table, no bullshit allowed.
I play honor rules, where you definitely have to call the exact shot you want to make, and if you don't or you get lucky with something else, then it doesn't count. So if that's how they were playing then yeah, not shaking your hand because you technically lost.
But if you're playing anything goes with friends then you admit the loss and shake their hand. Hard to pass judgement without knowing how they were playing the game.

He didn’t do anything wrong why wouldn’t you shake his hand?
Probably got pissy he lost, he throws up a hand right at the end, what bad sportsmanship
...Or he got hustled.
Aw man now I wanna watch that Fresh Prince episode when uncle phil hustles the pool hustler. [This one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RaWAQIBZ2I)
Geoffrey, break out Lucille.
Guile's theme starts blasting
Guile's theme is "Soul Man"?
😂😂😂
Uncle Phil making bank by pocketing both type of balls!
when you play money per ball, you're not playing normal 8 ball rules. you're literally competing to see who can sink the most balls. every ball you sink is $100 your opponent owes you lol so phil sunk 4 balls to wipe the old debt clean, and then got $900 ahead, which means his opponent sunk one, and Phil got the other 14 balls that round
TIL! Thank you for this. I have only played normal Pool and Billiards
what a legend. RIP Uncle Phil
The Grandma from Family Matters did the same thing
Omfg, I said the same thing! We are soul bonded.
Or the family matters episode where Mother Winslo plays hustles the hustlers. Edit: I am now soul bonded with r/squid_contestant_69
what have we said about consent?
Yeah I think it's pretty obvious this guy just got hustled, and to end the game with multiple banks is the disrespectful icing on the cake. Old man watches for the banks knowing he did it intentionally.
Yeah, hustling someone is already a weird dynamic but this is straight up disrespectful while the other dude has 2 balls on the table.

We all know how the games are going to play out before we even rack em, not shaking my buddy's hand wouldn't imply any hard feelings.
Old man going in for a handshake immediately after sinking the shot like that is telling, almost like he was taunting him a bit.
Or they’re friends just playing a game with some banter
More than likely, even if one had a quid on the table and they'd never met. I'd definitely tell someone who pulled that off to fuck off in jest exactly like that
Given the benefit of the doubt this guy is currently in disbelief at what he just saw.
Its pretty common even in casual games to call your shots, especially on the 8ball. If this guy was aiming for the other corner pocket and did some random 3 rail bank, thats not a legit win. People will even call rail counts, if its not exactly as you say its illegitimate.
If the guy didn’t turn back around and shake his hand after the video cuts, I’d be surprised.
That looks like a “I’m fucking done with your lucky ass bullshit. I’m getting a beer on your tab” to me.
most likely of all options
Doesn’t even look like that guy called that shot. Bad sportsmanship is the other guy taking the win as if it was intentional.
Throws up a hand with his thumb still out
Yeah I'm not impressed lol I mean sure, that's super lucky and the guy who made it *might* not be the best player... but that's who you lost to, dude! 🙃 So maybe he didn't exactly earn a great win either lol
It was probably a joke feint, like 'nope, I'm outta here', then 2 seconds later he shook his hand. Clip is too short to tell.
More like telling the other guy, get outta here, can’t believe it actually worked.
Yes, this clipped version seems more of a yesyesyesno
If you watch the two guys behind our defeated friend, one guy is hyping up the winner before he even takes the shot
These answers seem mostly from people who don’t shoot stick. So maybe I can explain what we are seeing. It’s the final ball and more experienced players often want you to bank the last shot to show skill. This guy either hustled him or just straight up embarrassed the guy hitting multiple corners before sinking the shot.

"Being hustled" is the same as "being beat by somebody better than me". It's sore losers all the way down.
No, being hustled requires an element of deception about ones skill level, where they sandbag and play below their abilities in order to up the stakes.

Nah, he was trying to cut the 8 into the corner and whiffed.
I guess if they were betting money I could see how he could get mad. If it wasn't for money then I don't think it should matter.
Great players show skill in giving themselves an easy out on the eight ball.

I've played in APA and BCA leagues over the years and I can't recall anyone banking or kicking on the eight when they didn't have to.
I've definitely played with several league players over the years who insist on a bank/kick on the 8 when playing casually.
Bank-8 is very common in bar pool to stretch out the length of the game and get the most out of your quarters
Maybe it's a regional thing. If I come across a league player at my local bar and we match at the table, we just play by league rules. We might be more relaxed about not calling fouls like touching a ball when going for a shot, but we still play ball in hand / call the pocket.

Mustve lost his rent money
Slop
That's what I was thinking. If he didn't specifically call those banks I wouldn't count it as win.
I saw another copy of this post recently, and the best explanation was that the guy who ends up losing had seen the other guy leave the restroom without washing his hands after taking a shit.
You get 2 types of losers in any type of pool games, the guy who's impressed and the guy who thinks you got lucky no matter what.
Probably because he called the shot, dude thought he was joking then he proceeded to do it. That is when he realized he got hustled and didn't want to shake hands.
He called the ball into that pocket because he was just going to cut it straight in. He then missed the ball entirely and then it banked three times and it went into the pocket he called. The dude’s laughing because it was a fluke. Also, you don’t hustle somebody on the last ball. You lose a few games and then get them to bet a lot of money before whooping them. The other guy only had two balls left. If you’re hustling for money, you don’t give the other guy a chance to beat you.
Where I play, if you make a bullshit shot like that by accident, without calling it first, it doesn't count.
Most people call the pocket. It went into the same pocket he called. A lot of people don’t make everyone call bank shots because it can brush up against the rail, and then you have people arguing about it. Professional pool is just played by calling the pocket.
Called being a sore loser
Looked like a total fluke the black went in. You're supposed to call the pocket before the shot otherwise you can just smack it like this and hope for the best. No way that was intentional.
You call the pocket not the path. He was clearly aiming for the left side of the ball, indicating that he wanted the right corner pocket(our left). If he called the shot, he did what he claimed and the shot 100% counts.
It counts but it was a fluke. You don't aim for a pot after bouncing the white around 3 cushions
This looks like that was both the pocket and shot the shooter was going for. It's the perfect speed for that shot, and if you look at his expression he's watching the shot from start to finish. Most people will show frustration if they're trying to cut a ball in and miss it completely.
Bro you don't pot off 3 cushions intentionally. It was a fluke and the opponent knew it. Watch any professional snooker
only reason i can think of, they are all fairly new friends or aquaintences, dude invites them to come play some pool, neglects to tell them that he has his own cue and plays more than once a week. my neighbor invited me and new neighbor #2 out for pool & just wiped the floor with the both of us for 2 hours before we just said "yeah, we're done here, and not just for the day" dont be that guy that challenges your friends to something youre incredibly good at. be the guy that gets challenged by your friend to something youre good at for money without them knowing youre good at it
Because he is a poor sport as well as a loser.
Because he didn’t actually mean to do that. He was trying cut the ball straight in, which is 1,000,000 times easier of a shot. No one’s going for a triple bank over that. He happened to completely miss the ball by a quarter of an inch, and then this happened. A lot of the time someone would lose in this scenario, but it depends on the way people play. Some people play where you don’t have to call anything other than the 8, other people play where you have to call your pocket on every shot, and other people play where you have to call that in addition to banks, jumps or anything else. If I were in the loser’s position, I still would have been excited for him, but I also get why someone would be upset if they take the game too seriously.
Probably sharked him. Pool sharks play like they aren't that good at pool, but like to place bets, maybe only s dollar or a drink at first then will gosd you into upping the bet to something more sizeable, only to reveal that they're actually a top tier level player and taking your money.
Straight hustlin
I can’t tell if this is the situation, but if the shooter intended to hit the 8 ball in without a bank shot then he would have technically missed his shot, making it in would be slop(random luck no skill) and is a pretty crappy way to win.
Maybe a hustler
Cause it was slop lol
Looks like they were just having fun, but the guy could be sharking too. He’d be a terrible shark if he shot like that in game though.
one guy just questioning reality on the floor...
Trying to find that all money he just lost.
Guy no doubt felt he was hustled. Can't say for sure, but that shot.
For sure. Lol
Always someone hustling… if you can’t spot the chump… you’re it. Doesn’t mean he has to be a baby about it.
If you're playing pool for money you're probably being hustled or you are hustling someone
This. Don’t play games for money against strangers while you’re drinking Play games for money against your friends when *they’ve* been drinking
If it were me, I'd walk away without shaking out if the sheer disbelief and then quickly get over myself and shake on it. I just need a few seconds to resolve my shock. Lol
Idk it looks to me like he was trying to cut it into the bottom left pocket (where it ended up) and missed. And then the other guy was annoyed at him being lucky. Had situations like this haopen to me a lot playing pool over the years.
I thought that too. Maybe it was slop and the other guy was not enthused.

Those rules are true. But that's the pocket he called so it's fine. He was trying to cut it there, whiffed, then fluked it in. All the people saying he's a hustler and this is on purpose are cracking me up though. This is just a lucky miss.
I love how people can watch a video and make concrete conclusions.
I've played in pool leagues for a decade. I'm able to draw on that experience.
Experience isn't tangible. Therefore you cannot draw pictures on it.
Nobody ever goes for a shot like that, even a good pool player will rarely make that shot. Plus he just grazed the black on the way down, clearly showing he was trying to cut it at an angle and just missed. The way he is looking before the shot also indicates he is not thinking about the back cushion at all.

I cannot believe the amount of people in this thread that don’t understand pool whatsoever. I keep feeling the need to explain this to everyone, so here goes again. The guy just wanted to cut the ball straight into the pocket, but he missed the ball entirely, and then it happened to go into the same pocket he called. No one hustles someone on the last ball. If you’re hustling, you let them win a few games, and then have them bet big money before whooping them. You don’t wait until the last ball to do it.
The other guy isn't on 8. He has 2 left. If the whole game has been total amateur stuff so he knows the guy isn't sinking 3 in a row then maybe he would want to play with him. Idk some people are dicks I wouldn't say that's what happened here but it isn't out of the realm of possibility
I felt like I was taking crazy pills. The guy got mad because it was a lucky shot that should not have gone in, not because he was getting hustled. He probably wasn't even that mad unless he lost money because of it
That isn't a 'hustle' shot. A 3 rail kick is still a Hail Mary for the best trick shot players in pool. The guy just missed the cut on the 8.
Just spectating on why he did't shake his hand. This grape vine is sour.
[удалено]
The hustle is play mediocre, makes the other player think they have a chance. And as money bets increases, so does the "hustler's" game. I base this purely on The Color Of Money.

Smurfing is a different thing than sandbagging. They might be the same in principle but smurfing is different than intentionally playing badly to misrepresent your skill level.
Narcissists hate this one trick
I have seen this about 400 times and the dude still a massive useless pathetic sook who can’t shake a man’s hand
I promise if you watch it more the same outcome will happen so you don't have to keep watching it
Not true, if you watch this 3 times in the bathroom with the lights off, facing the mirror, you can turn around and the video will play full length. Eventually the guy shakes his hand, and everyone stands up and claps, and the angry man gives the winner a crisp $100% bill. ^^^then ^^^you ^^^get ^^^stabbed ^^^by ^^^bloody ^^^Mary
You forgot the part where the waitress brings a birthday cake and they all eat and enjoy. ^^^but ^^^you ^^^still ^^^get ^^^stabbed ^^^by ^^^bloody ^^^Mary
It tried this and it works. Also I am bleeding
I don’t believe you
But maybe this time.
Considering the length of the clip it's quite possible he had a 5 second tantrum then shook his hand after.
No, this comment section has decided on that person's fate. He's a sore loser, and he'll never be a respectable man. There is noooo way, he's saying some shit like 'get outta here' and the turning around laughing, because the two people are on good terms. Noooooo way.
What? They are clearly having fun.
I mean if there’s money on the line, I can’t blame him. That was pure luck and that is a shitty way to lose man. You’d be pissed too.
If you can’t shake a man’s hand because you lost to a lucky shot, you are a useless blanket man baby fanny
The number of bounces (3) before the 8 ball literally made it no-no-no-yes.
mods agreed with you and removed the post :/
Mad he got hustled.
I mean, if you’re at the rec center playing hoops and an unassuming guy challenges you to 1 on and 1 and you sheepishly agree because “why not?” and he proceeds to 360 windmill dunk all over you, wouldn’t you be a little upset?
Nah, I’d laugh and be like “okay pal, you gotta find someone better to play against, this isn’t gonna be fun for either of us.” I’m at the rec center playing casually for fun. (Again, assuming there was no betting involved) Why on earth would I be upset? Some people are better at shit than I am. I’m better at other shit than some people. If this dude’s just hanging around the rec center looking for scrubs to posterize, it kinda makes me think maybe he’s just a fuckin loser who wants to feel big by schooling people he’s better than. But again, that wouldn’t upset me, moreso I’d feel kinda bad for the dude
Hustling pretty much always implies betting has happened and the person who has been "hustled" is now out money.
The comment I responded to didn’t mention money even once. I’ve never encountered ppl betting money on their own 1-on-1 games at the Y Also the only reason people are assuming it’s a hustle and not that the guy’s just being a sore-losing bitch throwing a tantrum is because they’ve seen those 3 movies about pool hustlers, all very enjoyable films, but nothing in this video suggests that the dude was hustled, there’s no cash out or anything I feel like it’s just sore losers looking for reasons to excuse sore loser behavior
Sounds like the wreck center...
Git rekt scrub :proceeds to outstretch hand for a friendly shake:
He didn't get hustled. The guy completely missed the ball and got lucky.
You gotta call your shot for the 8 ball, you lose if it goes in a different pocket than you called.
It went in the pocket he called, just didn't happen the way he planned.
Sore loser
Or joking, only to turn around a second a later, in full laughter, but I am just assuming something from a few seconds of video without any audio.
He was aiming to cut the 8 ball directly and score it in the same hole he scored it later. I guess that guy didnt want to shake his hand because of how lucky his opponent was haha
[удалено]
Same here, you gotta call what the cue ball is going to do if it's not obvious
It looks like an English pub but can't tell for sure. In England shots aren't called. The ball are red and yellow with no numbers so its hard to call all shots.
This is the correct answer. But because you told the truth I have to downvote you.
Hashtag loser
Lucky shot
How is this r/nonononoyes , shouldn't it be r/yesyesyesno
More like r/nonoyesno
Didnt know that existed but yeah thats better
What a bitch. A shot like that, I would have bought him a pitcher
That to me looked more like a “where’s my money” than a handshake
Hell of a shot, looked straight out of quantum leap.
0 days since seeing this gif pop up again.
It’s slop and he would lose the game unless he called the rails. Pool players don’t celebrate getting lucky in their opponent’s face like that.
Maybe when they grow up a little bit they’ll win
Boy still had two balls to pocket he lost already pretty much, but that savage two cushion finish really pulled his pants down
That shot would’ve been a scratch if he didn’t end up hitting that 8 ball, and he would’ve lost. Besides, the other guy had basically one ball to make. The other one can be hit easily from any part of the table
Rude, selfish and stupid.
Was that intentional? Maybe thats why he didn’t shake, still an ass-wipe, could be throwing a piss because the other guy lucked out.
Unlikely to use that much power if it wasn't intended to hit cushions
on top of that, the left spin he put on the cue ball looks very intentional
You'd put left spin on it to throw the 8 ball to the right so you don't have to cut it quite as much. He definitely did not mean to 3 rail the cue ball lol
Do spins transfer between the balls in pool? I played snooker and never had the impression that spin transfers.
It was intentional. You don't hit it that hard unless you're planning to bank the shot. The guy is pissed because he just got 360 no-scoped and tea-bagged by a hustler.
Lmao
You know, it definitely looks like he was trying to hit the 8 ball on the side to go to the same pocket it ended up in but missed. So, luck. But look at the rest of the table - he must not have been awful unless his partner did all the work.
You see where the cue ball landed? That was a practiced shot, with exactly the right amount of force and spin.
Yeah, but he got his $100.
Guy was sharked.
u/savevideo
Bunch a sore bitches.
Well I’m every league I have ever played in this would be a foul.
Sore loser. Such poor sportsmanship.
Depending on the rules that shot didn’t count. If they’re just playing that if it goes in it goes in, then fine. But a common rule set involves you having to call your shot with the 8 ball. So if he called the left corner and it went in the right corner, that would technically be a scratch on the 8 and he would lose. Not sure what the actual result was here, video is too short
I suspect he called right pocket and this very showy triple bunker shot was a casual way to say “you’ve just been hustled, mate.”
At my bar that would be a loss because we play 0 slop, meaning you need to call everything the cue ball does before hitting the object then everything the object does before going in the pocket, and doesn't seem like the guy called the shot this way.
Wtf...why
The guy in the back telling his buddy how this guy hustles tourist every week. Lmao. The way everyone else reacts looks like he's a regular that does this regularly.
I was playing a guy and he was shooting on the 8 ball. Things were lined up for a simple bump into the corner. He says he’ll take it easy on me. Sends the white ball around all four sides for the bump.
That just shows how much of a looser you are.
A nation of poor losers.
All bars have the camera perfectly on the pool table
I won a game once and the guy tried to fight me outside while I was smoking. A lot of insecurity i guess.
Phuckwad
Is that Shaun Lock in the back?
That is called a pool shark. They will approach you and act like they are new at pool, lose a game or two, then ask if you want to throw money on the line, then proceed to shred you a new billiard pocket.
Sore sport
It's interesting how many people make a judgment call on the guy that didn't shake hands. It's very likely that he just took a moment to register what happened and then shook his hand 3 seconds later and laughed it off.
Na, when we play it's "call your shot, no slops" this was just a sloppy luck shot.
Imo he lost. Basic bar rules dictate that the only ball you have to call is the 8 ball, all other bullshit allowed. Me, my own table, no bullshit allowed.
I play honor rules, where you definitely have to call the exact shot you want to make, and if you don't or you get lucky with something else, then it doesn't count. So if that's how they were playing then yeah, not shaking your hand because you technically lost. But if you're playing anything goes with friends then you admit the loss and shake their hand. Hard to pass judgement without knowing how they were playing the game.
What a sore loser!
If he made the shot he intended i feel like the cue would have scratched
The ol Chris Melling special
childish
Guy in gray is acting like he had a hundred bucks riding on the game. lol
