Favorite player and least favorite player?
- Thread starter original palmer
- Start date
In that there are so many great players, I would say that all of the American players
past & present, Efren, and Ralph Souquet are my favorite players.
The rest of the European players are my least favorite, and the rest of the Filipino
players are somewhere in the middle

I know. It's like the hunger games could bust out at any moment right?
Jayson... Jayson Shaw.
Favorites for me would have to be Efren for his humility, Tony Chohan for his 1P creativity, and Alex, because he just seems to genuinely love playing the game.
At the other end of the spectrum, I'll leave off specific names, but there are more than a few players who have have repeatedly shown themselves to be poor sports, sore losers, or just brash and loud in general. While some people think this just adds "character" to the game I can't help but think they're hurting pool as a whole just so that they can get a little more attention.

Favorites: Efren, Ralph Souquet, Nick Varner, Ray Martin, Tommy Kennedy (although I would disagree with him on religion, everyone is free to believe what he likes), Jean Balukas
Least fav: Shaw, Filler, Frost, Jeanette Lee and recently added Shane to the list who was an the Favorites list before
I like gentlemen and I dislike horrible behavior. Earl is an exception because I believe he has some issues so he won't be on either list

My favorite player is Nick Varner. His knowledge of the game and ability are superlative. He's also a really classy guy.
I'm curious to know what Shane did to have some folks sour on him recently?!

Danny Jones would be another player among my favorites. I used to know him years ago when he lived in Shreveport and frequented Pockets (the old Guys & Dolls). Nice fellow and a colorful character.
Favorites: Alex, Kevin Chang, Ralf
Couple of things. His fights with Corey Deuel are the least important. Then his own admission that he considers all kinds of foul racking to be ok as a means to get an advantage - the essence of his own post on Facebook suggests that. And even worse: stealing the cue ball in a hotel from the (coin-op?) table there during a tournament so only he could practice there and all of the others staying there couldn't. All of these moves together aren't gentleman's behavior for sure.
Are we SURE people aren’t soured on SVB because of his Mosconi Cup decision?
That would not make any difference for me. First of all it is quite understandable that he would consider a boot camp of several weeks not worth the reward of being on the MC team. Apart from that this is a private decision.
The other stuff I mentioned above is unsportsmanlike conduct - IMHO. And that is what sets him apart from real gentlemen. Never heard that Efren, Nick or Ralf ever needed such bad moves.
The MC is a lost cause anyway with boot camp and all - IMO.

Mika is from Finland, but has lived in NY for a while. Strickland is from NC I think, and only lived in NY briefly. Shaw is from Scotland and lives in CT. Dechaine is from ME and currently lives in NH I believe. Really non of these people are New Yorkers. Mika lived there long enough that he may have become a New Yorker. Shaw and Strickland not so much, if at all. Dechaine not even close.
