Thank you for sharing your story. When me and a buddy was traveling around hitting various pool halls, we never spoke about our ability, we never talked about money, we only rode with each other and we always dressed in standard apparel. It also helped that my main playing cue was a sneaky pete. Whatever you can do to survive, do it.
I’ve often wondered how a revolver would jam and if it was ever really even loaded. The move to act like it jammed would probably scare anyone enough to give the money up so who knows. One things for sure, revolvers rarely jam so I got lucky I guess
You know Scott, sometimes I'm torn between thinking you're an alright guy, or a bit of a narcissist... (possibly a mix of both since none of us are all good or all bad). Either way I'm certainly glad you didn't get killed and I have very much enjoyed your contributions to my favorite passion - pool. Take Care.
Scott is the man! Treated us real nice when we stopped at Freezer's in 2017 on our way to Hawaii. We're from Delaware. Stopped over in AZ for Kitt Peak and Freezer's!
Hi Scott, are there still road players/pool hustlers traveling the road in today’s time, or is it more of a thing of the past? Just curious. A lot of what I read and hear from other pros say pool is dead in that area of the game. Is that true? Thanks again, glad you are still with us. Be good, later
@Hungarian 1st of all... the idea that Christians aren't allowed to have a negative or disapproving opinion is a major misconception based purely in ignorance only revealing said individual has no idea about the scriptures and some of the things that even Jesus himself said & did (try actually reading it for yourself). Now of course overall kindness & grace is the preferred route, but your idea of "judgment" and how it incorporates itself into scripture is just simply way off base, period. Lastly, I never even said I was certain of my opinion (in fact I specifically said otherwise) ..along with the fact I was very polite in how I spoke. All that to say get off your fake horse, ain't nobody here pretending their perfect... never have and I never will be.
@Hungarian Why do you have to be such a fragile snowflake who comes undone just bcuz somebody respectfully holds a different opinion than you? What if the people you didn't care for, I did... I wouldn't lose my shit just bcuz we have differing opinions. And I'll tell you this, I have never said a single negative word about him to anybody in person or online or anywhere... so at least I had the balls & the integrity to respectfully state my opinion to him directly... I'm sure he would at least respect that. And again, I wasn't even adamant about my opinion, I left it open to be wrong and if I'm wrong that's fantastic... I am not against humanity in any way. Now respectfully I am through with this exchange - Take care.
My two best friends and I were regulars at the horse tracks in the mid Atlantic region.We would often be approached by patrons asking us how we did today."We would always reply lost again today."We would never gloat or draw attention to ourselves when we made a big score.""The most important thing we did was always drive and leave together.We has a saying among us "Never feed the cat, because he would always come back for more".
first off u shouldnt be drinking alot or buzzed up when hustling in a bar--second u should have backup meaning a friend with muscle or a gun who poses as a stranger---finally u NEVER tell anyone u are loaded with dough--its a sure way to get yourself killed fast.........and while it may seem ok to gamble at any bar, there are many with some rough customers so choose with discretion........this comment isnt directed to anyone in particular, just good advice based off experience........
Yeah, I don't like to criticize someone after they have survived such a violation, but I'd rather learn from their mistakes and save myself some trouble. Like you said, there were several layers to this.
Great story and sad that happened to you. Actually, I am surprised it only happened once. Whenever cash, pool and gamblers are together...well, you know how it happens.
Sounds like to me, Gabe got screwed out of his cut.... lol the old we were robbed story. Ive heard that one before lol the revolver jammed! You got to be shittin me! 😂
● ● Scott: "People will rob you for $5". That reminds me of a UA-cam video I saw once. A guy from "the hood" was doing an interview. He said, "Where I come from, if you got 20-dollars, and that guy over there doesn't have any money, he's gonna come over to get your 20-dollars! That's just the way it is."
I don't even know the guy and just based off this version of the story I immediately suspected the Gabe character being in on it... and notice he didn't have a gun pulled on him, little ass-kicking was just for show.
Just so you know, Scott. you have a massive federal lawsuit against the cops that did that to you... they were way outside their privileges.... I would sue them and have their badges for treating you that way...
I would say not to ride with strangers is leeson # 3 in that story....lesson # 1 is dont let your drunk buddy run his mouth about how much money you have

My takeaway, don’t get drunk with strangers and talk about your gambling success. Enjoyed the story, glad my man didn’t get killed!
What a story! Thank u Lord! Best of pool to u.

Great story. Very scary. These road stories would make for such great pool movies.
Crazy story. Thank you for these !!!!
Damn what a story frost. Sorry it happened to you. Glad you survived it and thanks for sharing your experience.
That’s a crazy story! You’re definitely lucky to be Alive!
I just heard this story on a discovery Channel show called Hustlers, Gamblers and Crooks.

I remember when you told me this story, love this series of stories....
the 'beautiful white woman' is the best part of the story.
Great story and sad that happened to you. Actually, I am surprised it only happened once. Whenever cash, pool and gamblers are together...well, you know how it happens.
Never heard of a revolver that didn’t go off its very rare so your twice as lucky as you realize
Great content
Please explain how you can get 12K cash into your shoe along with your foot?
Got robbed alot leaving in the city growing up. But yea when it's alot of money you won from gambling would definitely suck big time
Why in the hell wouldnt you have a gun with you if you are $30K ahead.....geez.
Or atleast roll with a guy that will pack a gun. That’s how Earl Strickland did it.
stupid?
Bogies East is in my backyard.. One hell of a story..
Loose lips sink ships.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease . Don't allow anyone to hear you rolling.
Different usage of "grease" but the saying still works.
Sounds like to me, Gabe got screwed out of his cut.... lol the old we were robbed story. Ive heard that one before lol the revolver jammed! You got to be shittin me! 😂
And don’t have bigmouth friends like Caleb.
You chasing that money to hard it happened to me 3 times. 🤦
● ● Scott: "People will rob you for $5".

They ever catch the guys who did this?
I was staking players went good for awhile then got dumped Javier Franco dead Joe Rocha dead David Howard and alanta dannyall dumped me wtf
Black Danny?
Yea I hope you ditched Caleb as a road constituent
If I had to bet on it, I’m saying Gabe set you up.. Fits his character..
You could be right
If I ever found out I’d have a lot of fun
Whether he set you up directly or did so by dry snitching he still is responsible for that for talking all that smack
I don't even know the guy and just based off this version of the story I immediately suspected the Gabe character being in on it... and notice he didn't have a gun pulled on him, little ass-kicking was just for show.
@@Blessed.2.Teach.4God Gabe stayed at the pool hall.
"Caleb" got the ass kicking.
Revolvers do not jam 🤔
Although there's truth to the story
"These Mexicans" haha
Just so you know, Scott. you have a massive federal lawsuit against the cops that did that to you... they were way outside their privileges.... I would sue them and have their badges for treating you that way...
Trust people?
