Latalomne's post about Baxter's smile applies to Gary as well.

Gary just seem's too happy about losing a game in which he was 5-0 up. You shouldn't be smiling after that, you should be incensed with yourself.

You get the feeling he's not too bothered about titles, just as long as he gets a few quid in his sky.

Latalomne - when Ronnie's costing you big bucks and that smirk is there, I have to agree with you Happy

He's one of those players that 'on his day' can give ANYONE a game!

Think players smiling and joking around after a loss happens far less now than say 10 years ago.

Players generally sporting in defeat but think with money involved and strength in depth means these losses hurt more

Thought you'd like that tale lads.

Can I also recommend a book to you if you enjoy stories of hustlers and proposition gamblers. 'Titanic Thompson - The Man Who Bet on Everything' by Kevin Cook. A fab tale from the crazy days of the first half on the American 20th century.  Now there was a character.

Available from all good bookshops and plenty of bad ones too I guess.

saturday afternoons are always a minefield with Gwynne. You enjoy listening to all the scores and then they go to some wasteland up north and his dulcet tones appear like nails down a blackboard.

Guy I knew many years ago was a top pool player (played for England at one point)

He was playing one of his more ordinary playing friends for cash and was unable to get a bet on so he gave the guy the proposition "You have two shots, I'll have one"

His mate refused this.

So he offered three shots to one, and still got refused.

So he came up with "Tell you what. You have as many shots as you want".

Mate scratched his head and took the bet. Potted a load of balls and inevitably snookered himself and fouled, so my friend cleared up and took the money!

God, I'd forgotten about PLP!  Going back about 8 years he'd ring me on an almost daily basis.  He was pro-punting back then.
