Who’s Jack Cooney?

Jack Cooney was probably the greatest pool hustler ever. He traveled with his wife Barbara. He was a great "lemon" man; that is a player who can disguise his true pool talent in order to lure an opponent into big action. He avoided tournaments because he didn't want his face or speed to be circulated around. He was very personable and easy to like. Even after they lost big money to Jack, his opponents still spoke well of him.
