Is this a real pool player? What's with the clothing style of that guy..?

His real name is Keith McCready. He was a mainstay on the pro pool circuit for quite a while, but now relegates his talent to trick-shot tournaments. Also known to be a notorious hustler in the 70's. Explains the bad acting, and, as you noted, attire.

I thought his performance was flawless and very entertaining. As for his pool playing, although a bit inconsistent over the years, Keith McCready is one of the most talented players to ever pick up a cue.

"The impossible dream" is what he says.

Those were "suave" clothes for that time period, however, they weren't the trend.

What do these lines mean?

I think that Grady was giving him a spot (a handicap, like the 7 and 8 out for example, meaning that if he makes the 7 or 8, then he wins the game), and when he says that to Grady ("up your a$$ with the spot"), that means that he no longer wants or needs the spot, and he will be playing Grady even up from then on. Great movie, but The Hustler was much better in my opinion.

The 80's thing aside, his choice of clothing made sense for a guy who thought he was cool, hip and a big shot. Funny character.
