Go back to Ash, of ''[[Hustle]]'' for a moment. Wasn't he more engaging than Danny (Mr. Smooth)?
Billiards is a popular medium for this con, seeing as [[Bad Guys Play Pool]] (and seeing as it was [[Trope Codifier| Fast Eddie Felson]]'s MO), but it could conceivably be any game that can be gambled on. One of [[The Oldest Tricks in The Book]].
Not to be confused with the Larry Flynt magazine. If you're looking for ''[[The Hustler (film)|The Hustler]]'', a movie about someone pulling this kind of con, see that page.
Line 14:
* Hare from ''[[Monster Rancher]]'' started off as this, cheating the main characters out of all their cash on his first appearance after he correctly gauged their rather extreme level of gullibility.

* Because on its frequent focus on criminals, ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'' features several examples - notably, Otto Heckel and Gunther Milch.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Blue collar criminal Jenna Duffy (aka the Carpenter) had a [[Villain Episode| story arc]] where she was hustling pool at a [[Bad Guy Bar]] in ''[[Batman: Streets of Gotham]]''.
