Do you have any favorite or funny tricks when you are playing a friend to mess up his game?
I was playing a buddy in a bar one time. He had left his cue at home so he asked to borrow mine. I said sure. I carry my own chalk, and I had removed the chalk from the table. I use one of those stick thingy's so my chalk is always in my back pocket. My friend knows I don't like to use house chalk on my cue.
Each time I would shoot, I would make sure he saw me thoroughly chalk the tip. I would pot a couple of balls, and leave him with a semi-long cut shot. I would then chalk the tip again and make sure he saw. But before I handed him the cue, I would swipe my thumb over the tip and wipe all the chalk off. He would setup for the shot, and "tink". He'd get an embarassed look on his face, and hand back my stick. I'd give him a look like, "gee, tough luck", then I would chalk up, and go through the whole routine again. Each time it was his turn, "tink". /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif
My friend is a pretty good shot, and after about 3 innings, he was getting pretty embarassed. I had let the guys at the bar know what I was doing, so each time he stepped up and miscued, the laughter just got louder, and the remarks got funnier and funnier. Poor Alan was getting more and more confused. It got to where he wouldn't even attempt anything but a 1 foot straight-in shot!
Poor guy had about 6 balls on the table when it was over, I really had him talking to himself. Everyone else was just busting up laughing.
When it was over, I bought him a drink and let him in on the joke.
