Watching the Dominicans play 1 pocket 1 hole taught me to never play somebody else's game. There's things going on you can't easily counter.
Crazy big money action at DCC last night
- Thread starter terryhanna
- Start date
The recent main events had 6000+ Won't be long if they have fields of 10,000+
For sure the chances of a pro poker player winner WSOP Main event is much much harder than a pro pool player winning World championship
You could win a few WSOP bracelets and not need to win Main event and still make millions. Wow wow
Daniel Negreanu and Gavin Smith have stated in interviews that they consider Hennigan to be the best player they have faced that sounds pretty elite to me lol
Wow, good for him. As soon as you guys said his nickname it was like I splashed in the face with some cold milk.
Terry, just to be clear:
1) Every time the 9 was moved during a foul (by either player), it was automatically replaced to the bottom center rail? What if the 9 wasn't moved during the foul, but happened to be off the rail?
2) Were you allowed to move the 9 ball via a push-out after the break?
3) Was it winner or alternate break?
4) Was the 10 ball the only ball removed after the break?
thanks for the clarification.
...also, it would be very cool if Ray could re-broadcast this game.

If the guy really plays that well it sounds like he would have been a serious favorite with the game spot.
It just seems like the only way for Dennis to win that game would be to jockey for position in the early portions of each rack. Playing the one ball down table near the 9 while playing safe. John's counter move would be to either pocket the one or send it back to the head of the table. I can see how Dennis would be at a serious disadvantage because John could always go for the out and Dennis really couldn't until he managed to move the nine down table.
Just playing this out in my head....
Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Very interesting.

John "Cornflakes" Hennigan is called Johnny World by the poker community. Its because he is fearless and will bet on anything in this world. If you think he is not in the poker elite you dont know anything about poker. Ask the name poker players if they like their end playing Johnny World in a cash game. John has won tournaments in all kinds of mixed games which is the more difficult than just Texas Hold em. John has won big cash in 7 stud, Omaha, 2-7 triple draw, Heads Up, etc etc besides Hold em. He is not only a great player but a solid guy. I learned a lot from him.
I told him once Efren was coming into town and going to be at our home room and taking on some local talent. John came down by himself. He took out his stick and offered Efren a game of one ball. Efren gets one pocket John gets the other with the side pocket. Efren said no. Then John turned it around and said OK Efren you get the reverse. I get one pocket and you get the other and the side but I get odds on the money. Efren surrounded by the Filipino contingent shook his head and said no.
John just turned around and walked out.
The key to John is he has no fear and has a great sense of Money Management and he knows himself well. He is in a league of a few.

7 millions in winnings and having it are alot different. I know plenty of poker pros with millions in tournament winnings that can't buy an ice cream. You think how's that possible. Well the same way those NBA guys that make 50 and 100 million go broke
Back pocket 9 ball is his top game. Played a lot in Philly where John is from.

I didn't know that IRIS played pool ................
True, Keone, but I think this game is more like 1 ball/1 pocket. Both are trying to move the 9 ball towards their pocket first. And, if you get the 9 ball close to your hole, your opponent is gonna knock it away from your pocket.
Obviously, the catch is that if both players are playing run out Pool, Orcullo will mostly be banking for the win and Flakes will cut most of his 9 balls in.

John is smarter then all these young players. Not to many of them have much wits in the matching up department. They lack that real bad. They shoot straight, but get themselves trapped all the time. This guys been gambling at pool longer then Dennis, of course he knows all the ins and outs
But pool players are suckers thinking they can make every score, not noticing they are the ones that are more then likely to be sheered
