Agreed.

The whole reason Eddie entered the tournament was forfeit once he couldn't trust that he had advanced strictly on pool.
It's all there in the movie.

I actually did not find it honorable. I think it was pure hubris that caused him to forfeit. He couldn't stand the thought of Vincent being better than him, and throwing the game against him, so he just up and quit the tournament. You could see the defeat written all over him in those last scenes. I thought his choice to forfeit the game was weak, based on wounded pride and not on a sense of "honor", whatever he might have told himself it was.

Its just that Eddies limit to "the hustle" was at tournament, where you play to win for honor. Vincent saw things differently however, and that is what got to Eddie at the end. Although what Vincent did might be seen as cheap and underhanded, Eddie trained him to be that way. The ethics in hustling are blurry lines indeed.

plus i think eddie would have been the perfect guy to actually win the tournament. it's not like he really hustles anymore so it wouldn't matter if he was well known at being a good player. he really should've just played & tried to win. he totally could've proven he was better than vince at any time. it was definitely a sour move to just quit like that. not to mention a stupid one.

I always thought it was the principle of the thing, that he didn't deserve to be in the match because he was there due to a sort of fraud. That's why he looks at his image in the cue ball, and decides to forfeit.
I like that decision, it was honorable.
