You know, Maine has a really cool underground hip-hop scene...

Seeing as you're obviously scary good at pool, did you ever consider going pro? As in tournaments/official stuff rather than sticking your neck out fleecing people in sketchy bars. I don't know how a big a pro pool scene there is, but I imagine a lot of the skills would transfer to snooker pretty easy (may be being naive here, I'm don't really know the game). Surely that would best going out knowing you might get your rear end beat or worse if the atmosphere turns sour.

E: also what is the trick to potting the 8 off the break? Is there a particular technique?

The difference between a really good amateur player like jase and a pro is extreme. I've never seen jase play but there's a very good chance he's just not on that level.

To pocket the 8 off the break hit the second ball on the side with a little inside English (if you're hitting the ball on the right it's left spin, the ball on the left is right spin) and some bottom.

Does stay away just mean not betting games against them? Is there any stigma against hanging out or playing without money on the line? Are pro players only looking to shoot for money in these situations?

Yes, stay away is gamblers code for "That guy is gonna beat me" no stigma against just being there but they probably won't play you without money on the line unless they know you.
