Again?!? When I was 24 years old I was a "pool hustler"? Dear friend I can assure you, even if Spike Lee and my past life don't tell it, I always give my love for free!!!

Hustling pool

Okay, okay. Another Americanism you might not understand. A pool hustler is someone who hangs around pool halls (sort of like a billiard parlor) and hustles games with other players. They play for money and the hustler starts out acting as if he doesn't really know how to play, then wins because he really can and is really good. They can make their living playing these games like 8 ball and 9 ball, but that has to do with the numbers on the balls on the table, nowhere else.
Women can hustle pool, but it has nothing to do with prostitution.

You are safe, my friend.

Thanks Irene, sincerely I wouldn't like to be a "pool hustler" in the other meaning :-)
