A little story about being "snookered"......not sure if this is where the phrase originated but.........

I worked my way through college shooting pool.....I really played a good gave for an non-pro....only one guy ever beat me consistently....some got lucky...but only one guy was really good.....

One day as I was making lunch money...a guy was standing there....patiently waiting for his turn at the table....I had been there for a couple of hours....never lost a game...so I owned the table....

He spoke with an accent....turned out to be Australian....we chatted as he racked the balls and I asked him if he played much....his response was " not really" but I play a lot of snooker... and it's sorta like this....

I had never seen a snooker table.....

bets were made.....

I went hungry that day....

I got snookered.
