On night Larry decided it would be a good idea to shoot some pool. So we went to the 220 truck stop. It was a little busy and we had to wait on a table. We started a game and shot 2 more. A couple of guys had been playing beside us asked if we wanted to ply partners. Larry said sure.we played a few games, the guys were pretty good. They wanted to play for money. Larry said no at first and then said okay, how much.  They said 5 bucks a game Larry agreed. Larry walked past me and said hold back. I knew what he meant. We won a few and lost a few. We were about even. One of the guys said how about some real money. Larry ask how much. They said 200 a game. Larry walk over, leaned against the table looked me and asked how much I had. I said about 30.00. He said I got 50. I said we can't cover that bet. Now the other guys couldn't hear us. Larry turned around and we'll do it but make it 500.00. Well I bout fell over. Larry turned around and said don't lose. Man I knew we were going get hurt that night!! We played and it was back and forth. It came down to the last shot....my turn.  The 8 ball was at the bottom of the table, the cue ball was at the other end. Larry said don't miss. I checked every single option and all I had was to bank it to the corner pocket. I looked over at Larry and he was looking at the door. I took the shot and made it! Larry shouted yeah!!!! He took the money and said we had to go. They wanted to have a chance to win their money back. They said double or nothing. Larry stopped looked at me, I shook my head no. He said nah we gota go. They said hey I bet you didn't even have enough to cover the first bet. Larry looked at me and said keep walking. We got to the door Larry looked back and said run! The guys were coming after their money!!!! Larry jumped in the driver's side and I jumped in the passenger side.  We tore out of there spinnin  gravel all over them!!!!  He said we sure got lucky, I said it wasn't luck we're just that good!!!!
