Sports Minnesota Fats, Where Are You? Pool hustlers lie, wear disguises, take suckers' money, and, worst of all, dream big dreams.
The best "undercover" hustlers and players (the ones the general public still hasn't heard about): Richie Ambrose, Glenn Atwell, Smokey Bartlett, Jafar Basheer aka "Patch Eye," Jerry Brock, Eugene Browning, Jack Cooney, Warren "The Monk" Costanzo, Rod "Surfer" Curry, Vernon "Burnie" Elliot, Ricky Gracyk, Peter Gunn, Horace Harper, Bingo ...
Richie and his then traveling buddy, Tommy Thompson (Titanic's son) came into the Times Square Cue Club (located in Dallas, TX) looking for some action. This was back in the early to mid-1960s. I didn't even know the name "Richie Ambrose" at the time but I figured he was a road player. I told him I'd try him a few games with the 8 ball.

It was almost a replay of the hustler movie, Richie, Fast Eddy getting drunk, and the wise, smart Minnesota Fats, who could not beat the kid, ending up with all his money ... Titanic Thompson acknowledged once losing $10,000 to Fats during an ill-advised pool game in which Fats played pool one-handed! In today's money that was a 60K hit.
The first time that I ever met Richie was several years ago while I was there playing at the BCA nationals. I watched him play some bar table pool at the Riv during a gambling session. He has a sweet stroke and could still play at a high level. A few nights later, I was doing some ill advised gambling :smile: at Circus Circus across the street playing some craps. I played the pass line took ...
The Hustler is a 1961 American sports drama film, directed by Robert Rossen. It tells the story of small-time pool hustler "Fast Eddie" Felson, who challenges legendary pool player "Minnesota Fats". The film, which was based on the 1959 book of the same name by Walter Tevis, stars Paul Newman as Fast Eddie, Jackie Gleason as Minnesota Fats, Piper Laurie as Sarah, George C. Scott as Bert, and ...

Richie Ambrose ran pro tourney in 80s Little Rock when he declined to play Rod; neither would Mike Sigel after talking to other road warriors * Richie Florence died too young; he played all games well & beat Rod 1-pocket on a big table @ his tournament in 80s Sacramento
Richie Florence was exceptional at most pool games early in his career. But he was unbeatable when playing "roll-out" 9 ball for money.
I played Richard Pryor straight pool one night there and watched every hustler known to man pass through. Hawaiian Brian, Pancho, Richie Ambrose, Crazy Bruce, Brooklyn Butch, Dalton Leong, Marvin Henderson, Freddy, Little Franky, Hollywood Jack, Lenny Moore, Cuban Joe, Bernie Schwartz, Jerry the Greek and his dog King, Cripple Shorty, etc. etc.
I've had the opportunity to play and travel with many of the greatest pool players of all time - they were street wise and had unique areas of expertise. One of these players was Dalton Leong who taught me a lot about life, hustling and far...
Gave Romine the 8 and beat him. Preacher Red. What a nut hunter. We played several times different ways. Bought my first Rambo from Ray Maples. Paid $100.00 with a Brunswick case. I for got to include Omaha Fats, Richie Ambrose. Boy could he spin the ball. What a world it was then. I miss all these guys. Guess I will be with them sometime soon ...
Of course, Jersey Red, Johnny Ervolino, New York Blackie, Richie Ambrose and Rex (a great pure hustler) used to ply their trade there as well, when they weren't over at 7-11.
I never saw Richie Ambrose shoot pool; no youtube videos that I am aware of. He came strolling into the Corner Pocket pool room in Orlando, FL in the mid 1980s looking for some action, but no action that day. The owner knew him and they just talked for a while.
But in the world of the road players -- the pool hustlers -- nicknames actually serve a genuine purpose: since they are often descriptive, or at least 'catchy', they are a big help in remembering and identifying competitors! And knowing the competition has always been a huge part of surviving on the road.
Richie Ambrose was probably the best 9-Ball player in the bunch, just a hair over the others. And Ervolino was the best at Straights. Jay-- stop saying "Straights"! We hate it when you say that. It's like someone saying the "Jeff" Airplane, rather than the Jefferson Airplane; or saying "toodles" rather than "bye-bye".
After Jersey Red, Boston Shorty, Irvolino, Richie Ambrose etc. left NYC, in order to get a pool bet in NY your body had to be decomposing. When I was on the road in NYC, I got zero money games.
There was Goofey's Game Room on Westheimer, Richie Ambrose played there for a few years. Grand Central Station on San Felipe was another one. And, in the 80's, there was Cassidy's where a young Earl Strickland played some. Earl lived in Baytown for part of his teenage years. Those are just a few I remember going to during those years.
One of the worst things about the passing of Jet is the fact that he was, IMHO, the last real pool hustler in Chicago. I have formulated my own little Secret Society of Hustlers based on people that I knew and who qualified for admission under special criteria.
Bernie beat every 9 ball champion that tried him.To name a few,Richie Florence,Eddie Kelly,Larry Hubbard,Wade Crane,Horace Harper,Ronnie Allen,Richie Ambrose,and many more. You and I know that Billy, but most people on here have never heard of them (especially Bernie) because they were primarily gamblers.
Good Richie Ambrose story poolboy....and yes, I think that's a very cool bit of pool/One Pocket nostalgia that you posted up, showing those old tournament matched-up -names.
There never has been or ever will be a room like The Rack OR a Pool Player like RED. I spent about 5 or 6 winters there. I THINK it was the opening of the Toledo racetrack that started off the pool/gambling season every year. Within 2 days of the main characters coming into the Rack - The place filled up with pool hustlers from all over the ...

If he could get on the table, Shorty would beat everyone. Richie Ambrose was probably the best 9-Ball player in the bunch, just a hair over the others. And Ervolino was the best at Straights. If they all started matching up and gambling though, Ervolino would usually get the cash. He gambled better than anyone else for high stakes.
On the Turning Stone stream Danny DiLiberto just said that Richie passed away last week. Anyone else hear this? I saw him play in early 80's and he could play.

"Confessions of a Pool Hustler" Grady ran a great tournament as usual ! I came in 5th. Red made a ball on the break 4 games in a row playing me to move on for 3rd or 4th or maybe win it all !! Rack your own balls, nice move Red hahahahah !!
Reading the posts on the Ronnie/Efren thread that mention Five Points Bowl, brings back memories. As a regular and not too smart young wannabee pool hustler, I played some kind of game with almost every player that came through there. Jay & Freddie, you didn't mention one of the best that came...
These pool players, or pool sharks, of a particular caliber in their game would lure players of lesser ability into gambling, by performing a series of pool tricks.

In races to eleven, Parica defeated Davenport (5), Bell (10), Strickland (10), Hopkins (8), Varner (8), suffered a loss to Varner 7-11, and then outpointed Varner (10) for the title and the $5,840 first prize.

Richie Ambrose (correct last name is D'Ambrosia) was one of the premier 9-Ball players of his era, his prime years from the early 60's until the mid 80's. I would guess his age at close to 80.

On the Turning Stone stream Danny DiLiberto just said that Richie passed away last week. Anyone else hear this? I saw him play in early 80's and he could play.
He was probably the most intelligent pool hustler I ever met. Ye Billiard Den was my home room in the late 60's to early 70's and it was a slice of life I will never forget.
I knew "Richie From The Bronx" since I was a kid. He was the best 9-Ball player in New York when there were guys Like Jersey Red, Shorty, New York Blackie and Ervolino hanging around.
This picture is the same day. It is Danny DiLiberty and Richie Ambrose lagging for the break. In the center all the way in the back with glasses is Freddie the beard. Larry Lisciotti is to Freddie left. That is Larry Hubbard in the front leaning on the table with his arm. You may have to blow it up a bit if you can on your computer.
The craziest story of all; A undercover old pool player and a friend played the powerball on feb 29, 2012 PLAYED THE SAME NUMBERS SEVEN TIMES AND HIT FOR A TOTAL OF $14,000,000. Richie , and Jimmy Fusco were each given $10,000 as a gift, with more to come (Fusco asked for $25,000 to be able to remodel old family house.
Butch still is a character. I talked to him right after Freddie passed. He lives in Escondido north of San Diego. I met him in LA at one of the joints and we played some $5 three red ball snooker on the 5 x 10. I had him stuck $15 and a friend of mine walked in and said "You know who you are...
Aired on ABC Wide World of Sports! The Jansco Brothers World All Around Pocket Billiards Championship aka The Hustlers' Jamboree or The Hustlers Tournament in the 1960s.
This is a cool pool read: Bernie "The Hawk" Schwartz, a pool hustler who began chalking up as a kid in Oakland in the late 1940s, will be inducted into the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame of Western Pennsylvania tonight. Purists might argue that a game that can be played with a cigarette 'twixt your lips is no sport. Phooey.
He would instead walk in a pool room and start saying (ala Fats) how he was the greatest player in the world and nobody in the pool room would have a chance with him, and the good players in the room better not try him any or they'll be sorry...cuz he'll beat them so bad, they'll be embarassed in front of everybody, and he'll just go on and on ...

The legendary Johnston City Pool Hustler Tournaments were held at the Janscos' Showbar in Johnston City, Illinois, from 1961 to 1972. After the FBI raided the tournament in 1972, the action was moved to Nevada where gambling is legal.
The Final, Dramatic Days of The Johnston City All-Around by radyer | Oct 24, 2023 | 1960s Pool, 1970s Pool, Hustler Stories, Jansco Brothers, Minnesota Fats, Tom Fox, Tournaments Why should we still care about Johnston City, now a half-century later? There are plenty of reasons, but foremost is that the tournaments changed American pool forever.

Well it took 3 hours to lose his $500.00 and with what Richie was probably doing he just had some bad luck. You are always taking the worst of it in any casino but with an understanding of a system you cut the odds a bit.

Who was the best nine-ball player of all time? Who was the best nine-ball player ever to pick up a cue? Perhaps it depends on the circumstances. In the famous (or infamous) Johnston City pool hustler tournaments, playing on regulation tables, Luther Lassiter was the nine-ball king. But playing on a bar table, it would be sheer folly to bet against Keith McCready, Louie Roberts or Dave Matlock ...
