The hustle
I thought the pool hustle was kind of revealing about Frank. If I read that correctly (tell me if I didn't), he set out to hustle a "rube," but instead got royally hustled himself. I kind of took that to mean he's (a) kind of naive/dumb, which doesn't really seem to fit his character; or (b) just not very good at being a "bad guy," maybe because his heart isn't in such a bad place?

I think that's right. He was a hustler, but I always thought his heart wasn't really in it. Like he always felt a little bit bad for the guy he hustled. I think to be any good at hustling you have to be pretty cold about the consequences.
