- Ever dream of making big bucks hustling suckers for cash in pool halls? Let Pretty Boy Floyd, Shembugenwauk County champion and master of disguises show you the secrets of lining up the marks right where you want 'em, and getting that big wad of CASH!
"you never know when someone's hustlin' ya."
Bro just hustled me outta my time
LMFAO
I swear I heard his last brain cell hit the floor, let's face it!
im 66 no man alive can hustle me i got a certain amount to lose u can take all night or get it in 3 sets race to 9 i got certain amount i got to lose no more no less
@@tgh223 that’s why you wouldn’t spark the interest of a hussler. Like Jimmy said, “who wants to play someone that’s broke.”
@@morgxo2 You spelled the word "smart" wrong. Terry's probably got money bags; I can tell because he sets limits on how much he gambles. People who are smart with their money tend to keep it.
Top keywords:
1: Cash
2: Trophies
3: Let's face it
zioninni he said “let’s face it” when I read “let’s face it”
You cannot buy anything with a trophy!
All right everyone, take a drink every time he says money or cash
Pepsi
He literally said this all while I read your comment
If there was a definition of unintentional comedy, this is it.
That's what I'm saying.
When you realized you bet this guy for money and he won . . it's not so funny anymore
no, he's just a smooth man...a MAN
Jimmy Mataya is a worldclass player and has played in many tournaments on TV.
Hard to picture this guy as the 'unknown' in any big money hustle.
“Self Help,” or “Entertainment?”
I can't wait until tomorrow morning to quit my friggin job and start my career as a big time Pool Hustler for Cash!
Hows that working? 😄
Don’t do it!.. My brother won 2 US Opens and 20 or so other professional tournaments, and doesn’t have a pot to relieve himself in.. Besides, the internet killed pool hustling..
@@jacobjones5269 You're Jeremy 's brother!
@@jacobjones5269 how did the internet destroy pool
@@jacobjones5269Jeremy Jones ??
This dude just hustled me out of 47 minutes
To be fair this is 47 minutes of top-tier unintentional comedy.
His intro reminds me of what students do when they have to write a 10-page essay but only have 2 pages of content.
This guy is a master teacher for sure. I can't wait for his next video: "How To Be A Smooooooth Operator and Pick Up Rich Women ....... and GET THE CASH!"
Leutchik hell yeah👍🏻
I think your onto something.
"Excuse me, have you seen my brush?" WORKS EVERYTIME. This could literally be a monty python skit. The entire video
Wait, so this isn't a Monty Python skit?
@@Charzilian your mom was a python skit
Spoken like a loser
Dude talks a big game but then shows you exactly how to get your face broke!
"I'm going through this life eating lobster and caviar, AND I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME!!!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
RIP Jimmy Mataya
From Mary K:
I heard from my old Las Vegas friends, Joe Alvarez, Andy Hughes & Larry Schwartz a few hours ago that Jimmy Mataya has passed away after a tough battle with cancer. He was 74.
One of the last of a dying breed of characters & known in the pool world as “Pretty Boy Floyd,” Jimmy started playing at eleven & a short five years later won both the Lansing City 14.1 & Michigan State 14.1 Championships. He remained the Michigan State champ through 1970.
Venturing away from home & as the game began its transition from straight pool to nine ball, Jimmy won the 1971 Los Angeles 9 Ball Championship & won both the 1972 Dayton Open All Around title & the Stardust Open 9 Ball & All Around titles.
With his feet in several different games & all through the ‘70s, he went on to claim the Nevada & Michigan State 14.1 titles as well as several other titles in both nine ball & eight ball. Considered to be the greatest pool player to ever come out of Lansing, MI, in 1989, he was inducted into the Great Lansing Area Sports Hall of Fame.
He, along with the other stars of the day, was in both the 1980 film, “The Baltimore Bullet” & the 1986 film, “The Color Of Money.”
Jimmy was also one of the first pool commentators & was known for his charisma, his heart, his gamble, his sense of humor & a veritable wealth of pool stories.
I first saw Jimmy at the 1977 PPPA World 14.1 Open in New York City. With his running mates, Louie Roberts & Larry Lisciotti, they cut quite a swath through the host of champs from yesteryear & those that were on the rise. All in their late twenties & dashing in their tuxedos, they stole the show when a gorgeous young lady wheeled in a silver cart laden with many bottles on ice & Jimmy announced, “Champagne for everyone!” A party ensued & what a party!
A few years later, Jimmy introduced me to his new bride, Ewa. They were the “it” couple of the pool world & a few years later, their daughter, Nikki, was born. Although they later divorced & Ewa Laurance remarried, they remained friends.
In the wee hours of his life, Ewa, Nikki, Larry Schwartz & Billy Incardona arrived in Las Vegas - along with Jimmy’s family & many friends to be with him in home hospice.
Billy said, “He was a maverick. Love him or hate him, he lived his life to the fullest & according to Floyd’s rules.”
Ewa told me that they were in his office earlier today & found about 25 different appreciation awards from various organizations & charities including the ASPCA & NAACP. She told me that every single time he was asked, he gave generously.
Kindhearted as a kid, he overcame a tough childhood to become a superstar in both the pool world & life. As many of his friends knew, there were many sides to the man - both good & bad.
And as Ewa said, “He was who he was. A husband, a father, a grandfather, a friend, a champion, an entertainer & ...a maverick.”
I’m sure that the entire pool world will join me in offering my condolences to his family & all who loved him.
RIP, Jimmy...
RIP
That dude just came to rob my appartment while I was hypnotized watching this. He's the real deal, let's face it.
LMMFAO 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤮😂😂
Class🤣🤣🤘
🤣😂🤣
I needed that laugh good one
After watching this video I learnt how to win every game of pool... Bore your opponent to death, if you talk like this guy they'll be paying you to shut the fuck up
I actually recored the audio of this guy talking and I call people on the phone and just let tape roll. It makes for a fun Friday night. 👍
I tried this and got a different result . I did the whole bar pool room painter con, but instead I got 5 paint jobs and now I am rolling in cash ! 🤣😂😅
"And why do they call me the world's greatest pool hustler? Well, they don't. It's what I call myself!"
Hahahhaaa ;)
Wrong....everyone in the professional pool world calls Jimmy the world's greatest hustler FYI
@@Nativejoyy everybody knows him so it's (was) almost impossible for him to hustle anyone
Honestly I watch this anytime I want to have a real good laugh! 😂
I'm only 3 minutes in and I'm already dying of laughter lol how many times can one person say cash in 3 minutes.
This dude is awesome.
Corba Kai Sorry corba I was trying to reply to one of these idiots thinking this guy is just talking somehow my reply got on to your comment. Was not directed at you. was for fireworm678
adog7474 I am a halfway decent pool player but you say that I could beat any of the pros as a joke but at the same time you can tell a professional pool player just by his stroke in the matter of the first game so this guy is a clown
Listen here adog7474, you want a trophy that's fine, but all it's gonna do is collect dust. What this video teaches is how to make cash. You want to pay off your car? You're gonna need cash, and if you can hustle in pool, you can make cash. Not just some trophy. Because a trophy is a trophy, and cash is money, which comes from cash.
I'm still watching the intro 6 minutes in! It's almost like they wanted it all in one take, and the guy holding the cue cards dropped them all- so he's stretching it out until that guy can find the "Lesson 1" cue card, lol
I'm guessing this guy once tried to put a trophy up for collateral, was laughed at, and it scarred him for life.
How to hustle at pool:
1) Talk about paint a lot
2) B-roll footage of people handing you money
3) Find a gas station willing to sell your VHS
Be the most obvious hustler ever as well 😂..
Hahaha, u forgot the cheap tux.
Rather be a hustler than a hater lol gtfoh
I know it’s loosely mentioned in the video, but his guy really loves playing for cash
Does he really? You sure about that? 😉👍
I’ve got a lot of outfits in my car haha.
I keep coming back to this clip. Always more to discover
Every time this pops up I have to watch it……..casssssshhhhh
I absolutely recommend watching this for any other reason other than learning how to hustle people at pool.....I enjoyed it immensely
So how i learn to hustle?
This video is seriously fun. It's great that Steve Mizerak acted in it. When he was older, Jimmy Mataya was a guest commentator on "POV Pool After Dark", and it's hilarious (available on TH-cam).
I’m a friend of Jimmy’s from way back in the ‘70’s. We’re both from Lansing, Mi. When I was just starting to play, he’d already won 2 World titles b4 he was 21. Roadies, hustlers, players, gamblers used to come to town to play Jimmy. I watched him play at the Cozy Lounge, long gone now. All the players dressed up & wore pinky rings & what not. Not like today’s faux hustlers & players who all dress like bums. They’ d play late at night. Bar table 9 ball. Game was different back then. After a time I got so I could play pretty sporty myself. I learned a lot watching these guys play & enjoyed it immensely. But, just like there’ll only be 1 Keith McReady, there’ll always be just 1 ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’.
Liar

🧐
....
..... I believe him.
@@teejay6063 because you're a sucker
@@Greatness122 I’m a liar? Who in the fuck are you to call me that?
Nope. He speaks the truth. I knew Jim back then as well, when I was running a room in Livonia Michigan where he played for several years in a BCA U.S. Open Qualifier. At that time I was also Managing Editor of The National Billiard News. 6:34 😮 @Greatness122
I actually really like this guys confidence. Im taking notes..he gives advice its just the way he presents it that people find funny.
"5 thousand dollars, that's enough". Look, I'm no hustler...but I feel like somewhere before losing 5 grand, I would say..."Hey, this guy seems oddly competent at this game".
Lmfao
You should see him paint....!
@@2869may so he's not a real pool player
@@craigfinley2507 "Painter" is his hustle cover....
During the 1980s, when Efren Reyes was considered a top-class player in his homeland but not yet internationally recognized, he went to the U.S. to hustle. He disguises as "Ceasar Morales" and one of his victim was Pretty Boy Floyd, lol
Really?
@@thalessilva1 How's this for a late reply? He couldn't play in the Philippines because no one wanted to lose to him so he started playing 3 cushion but wasn't making the money he needed. Ironically, his experience in 3 cushion is probably what put him over the top and made him the "Magician" and undeniably the GOAT.
He went to the US and hustled, as the previous guy said, and I wouldn't be surprised if he did play him. I think he finally was exposed when he won the first tournament he entered in Houston, TX.
Apologies if you got an alert and came to read this 😂
I saw him play in 85 and he was a deadly shooter. He's a very good commentator in the booth.
I quit my job as hedge fund manager after seeing this video last year. Went to the bank. My new house has a new $1,000 velvet davenport and a phone in every room. I have a closet stuffed with $500 suits
He tipped the bar maid then took it back, I love it.
It's not about how good you play. It's about if you know whether or not you can beat the other player. The quicker a person can figure this out the better hustler he'll become.
Hey, I know this guy! He's the guy who played me for my watch,and my wallet, and my shirt, and my tie,He even played me for my shoes! Lets face it,He took all my things.Even my girl.I told him he was just lucky and to come back a play me again some time!
One of the best comments on here! HAHAHA!
Drink every time he says "hey, let's face it"
+MrWebbeth drink every time he says cash or money
+Liam Johnson Drink every time he says hustler
+MrWebbeth Drink everytime he blinks 5 times in a row.
caught a nice buzz hahahahahahhaa
Did he hustle Efren "Bata" Reyes?
This shit is fucking hilarious. Best video I've watched in a long time.
"Oh he's just not a pool player eh?" Ahahahahaha
Big ole sign on the table says KEY MEDIA same media company that did the video and on tat you can see the camera man behind the bartender......fuckin REAL LIFE HUSTLIN
I would think that Andrew is right for the simple reason that people today do not carry around large amounts of cash. The only people who would carry large amounts of cash into a pool hall or bar nowadays would be gangsters or other pool hustlers, neither of whom you would want to play.
The real Hustle here is our old fathers who bought this tape.
Advertised during one of those old Sunday afternoon ESPN pool matches back in the mid 80's.
Saw this is a kid on VHS haha
Who you calling old, sonny??
😂😂
I just watch it for the opening music.
He's an Egomaniac! About 20 years ago, he was playing in Baton Rouge at a place called "Lambert's RBD's". The guy backing him was a big dude, I'm guessing about 6'2", 300, long ponytail with a couple of girls hanging all over him. Jimmy was losing big money and the big dude told him to tighten up several times. But instead Jimmy was bragging about his watch and gold rings to his opponent trying to intimidate him. He lost another game and was on the brink of losing the match when the big dude got up, walked over and punched Jimmy's lights out! He went down like a brick hitting the floor! They called an ambulance and when they took him away his was still unconsious. The opponents started demanding the match money to with the big guy replied, "My man can't play so the match and bet is cancelled!". Of course the guy balked a lot, but he just witnessed what the big guy could do. It was quite the talk of the town for weeks! The big dude left town being he couldn't get any more games to back with the opponents knowing he might not pay. So in this video, when Jimmy says you should know when to quit, he apparently learned the hard way! Ewa knew what she was doing when she left him! You can also see him in a cameo shot in 'The Color of Money'. (As well as Grady Matthews whom I got to meet and take lessons from.)
That's not true you must have him mixed up w someone else I was his girlfriend at that time and he didn't even play pool at the time your talking sorry dude
the bank man don't want no trophies
"are you happy when you lose your cash, I'm not, at least I don't think I've never lost my cash" ironically, priceless
"Oooohhhh noooo Floyd I know how good you are. You beat the champion over in Shembugenwauk County"
Peadar Films lmao. ..... trophies
This video could be 15 minutes long if he didnt repeat himself over and over and over!
60 seconds max
Wrong, 2 minutes tops
this is fantastic just watching this guy talk. Like a character out of a Scorsese movie
Lets face it, this is the greatest self help video ever made!
I think you are right. It shows exactly how all the strategies work in a real life situation.
I have made one million dollars in the last month using the SECRETS revealed in this video.
Damn I got hustled by Pretty boy Floyd back in 1987. I knew something was up when that fool started shooting like a machine gun and walking around the table like a ballerina
LMMFAO 😂
That is when you know you're in trouble. But by then it is TOO LATE. But you will still be friends and ask him to come back any time because he just got LUCKY.
@"When it comes to playing for CA$H, I"M THE BOSS MAN, always have been, always will be"
LOL This video is one liner gold
Fuckin guy never lost! Ever!
@@davids11131113 same thing Minnesota fats said
No woman can love him as much as he loves himself. He is a legend in his own mind.
You are wrong about that pal
As funny and absurd as this video is he actually gives useful advice haha
The production value of this video exceeds The Matrix, easily. Just superb editing and dialogue all around!
I'm a proud owner of this very video on VHS.
Would you sell that video?
He's the best!
Best commentator in the game too!
He "loves" jump cues too. Just ask him lolololo
"You don't have to be a great player to make money in this game". Words of wisdom
I wish I knew this I just assumed you had to be great to win money and never tried to hide my skills at my local bar everyone already knows I can beat them. I thought I had to absolutely be able to destroy to hustle
Don't forget the painting tools. Vital to playing pool.
never seen a guy that happy after getting hustled out of 5k lol
I feel like he just hustled us into watching his video about hustling..
Hahahahaha
This guy has never lost any money game in his life. It's always nice to start off perfect.
He never beat anybody, has been telling the same ole story for 45 years lol dont have a pot to piss in today
Haters😂
This is one of my all-time favorite comedy movies. It's a bit short and the editing feels dated, but I still recommend it to anyone who likes a good laugh
Imagine if The Colour of money was called The Colour of cash.
Omg, hahahahaaa ;)
It got me laughing
Somebody needs to record this to a VHS tape and send it in to RLM for the next BotW
I wonder if he likes cash...
He loves cash...
I don't know. He should have said! 😂
The love of hustling is the root of all happiness, thank god for 8 and 9 ball Billiards...(created for the Sabbath!)
@@glenntaylor9519 No hustling on the Sabbath day
"Okay Eunice, your motivation in this scene is that you don't know anything about it."
i tried the same thing and made only about $150,
they let me paint the place.
Aro Aric lol
I like how he assumes that the watcher is a world class player who just happens to also want to hustle. I'm sure 99% of people who ever watched this simply don't have the skill set to walk in any pool hall and beat anybody on call the moment they decide too.
how to make a short story looooooooooooonggggg
I like how this guys teaching people he learned in the late 60s, man times have changed.
Just when I thought Dave Chapelle was the funniest man on the planet.
This guy is the king. All of youse haters just jealous of him cause he is a dapper cat, wins all the money with style and gets the ladies also. Yeah he brags alot, but if you can back it then it aint bragging anymore it just the truth. Nobody ever speak bad or hate the guys who are penniles losers, people allways hate the rich, succesful ones.
This may be the best explanation of both hustling pool and a guide for corporate latter climbing. It's an American philosophy video. Dated with antiquated editing but the message is perennial. A slow game winner's attitude. Also the guy know what he's talking about- look him up.
Thank you. Mattaya was a top level player and hustler for a long time. If only all these commenters trying to make fun of him knew how high he used to bet.
I learned.... That Pretty Boy is one hell of a character.
He should run President. He has the BS gab down pat.
10:40........ woman looking through the glass. For a minute I had to remind myself I wasn’t watching an episode of sunrise in the morning with kochie and Mel 🤣
6:46 .. Yes, your nose DOES look like it's been smashed.
'You seen my paint brush?'.....lol in any pool hall I've been in next thing to happen is a cue smacking you over your head, for much LESS than that!
I was waiting for the guy in the rugby shirt to break out in the Truffle Shuffle
Disrupting someone while he is playing pool like he did can get you shot in some places lol

Let's face it, what you're looking at here is one damn entertaining video.
Lets face it, this dude loves cash
This video would be a lot better if he told us what he thinks about trophies and cash.
i dont go through life eating peanut butter and jelly, i go through life eating lobster and caviar- and taking you with me! LOL 16:30 real talk!!!
I come back to this every few years just to get a laugh
says the same thing over and over again. not only does he repeat the same thing, he repeats what's obvious. mildly annoying
Cash!
Mildly?
I would pay good money to hear some of this guy's "accents."
In fact, I'd pay CASH.
Believe it or not, this guy is a former world champion. I heard he sold his trophies for cash.
+Arm Cannon Proof?
He even beat the pro of Shempuganwaulk County for fucks sakes!!
ROFL
You mean, "CASH!!!"
He married Ewa Mataya.
All the people saying this guy didn’t teach how to hustle pool is wrong. He’s not teaching shots. This isn’t a how to play pool video. This is a video on how to hustle. If you’re good at pool you understand how much knowledge he’s throwing down.
I agree. Hustling pool is essentially about using a few different techniques designed to misrepresent your skill. Losing when it doesn't matter, and barely winning when it does... so that onlookers think you got lucky and you then continue the hustle on to the next person waiting in the same place. Goal is to walk out without anyone mugging you. Even though you may be able to take everyones cash you shouldn't.... not in one night anyway.
Look at the credits. More than a DOZEN people were involved in making this. LOL
He is about as convincing as a gangster as Mr Bean 🤣🤣🤣
ummm... I think this guy likes cash... and hates trophys... but man, he really likes cash!
He’s in heaven now getting CASH!
He's not giving any secrets away. He's fulfilling an audiences expectations with this little play. And I think in the 80s this is what people wanted to see from him. I've seen hustlers. They act more subtle.
Role play starts at 29:00 mins in. Worth it
I had no idea what my brain was seeing after that point
I come back and watch this video now and again just to laugh my arse off.
Lmao! I'm back on my second round, hopefully you watch this again now :P
+habs4life41 watching again... Hilarious
+Its The Bebop he literally repeats the same shit over and over the first 10 minutes LOL
+habs4life41 He doesn't even play any pool. Just saying hey... Hussle in pool, Im a master.
+Its The Bebop it's thaaaat time again !
This guy just hustled me 47 minutes while I supposed to be working..I like it😂
Sounds like he taught you how to hustle your employer
"When a man with a lot of money meets a man with a lot of experience - the person with a lot of experience leaves with a lot of money, and the person with a lot of money leaves with a little less money- but gaining some experience." - this video- was bought by people with some money, sold to them by someone with a lot of experience... welcome to being hustled, the VHS way.
Nice🤣🤣🤘
"When god was handing out brains, did you think he meant trains?" Wow sick burn bro
I like the part where he says cash
There I was trying to pay bills with trophies my whole life. I learned so much.. is there a part 2?
This guy couldn't beat his own dick lol
At hustling I mean lol
Lol u r clueless, sir
Top notch acting. One of the best of the 80s
If Mike Tyson came out when he said that I would have died
He's so right. I used to use the same techniques when I hustled shuffleboard
