If Banks and One Pocket had a Fargo Rating system, then what players do you think would be in the 800's, or considered Elite level players?

The year Dippy Dave was at the Derby, approximately 2010, he played a bunch of the top pros, getting wild spots, and beat them. He had a big match with Corey in the action room and it went down to the case game and they both needed I think 3 balls. Corey went for some stupid aggressive shot and lost the match from there.

In contrast, he played a big set with JHall. JHall played legit one pocket. He played way more conservative than Corey. He'd go for small runs, then play lock up safes, and basically suffocated Dippy. JHall won pretty easily. Dippy was mad and tipped his man purse over high up in the air so all of the stake money fell down in individual bills all over the table and floor. I was cracking up when I saw it.

The moral of the story is JHall played a much better one-hole game than Corey, and got the cash.

Great story. I think my two favorite One Pocket / Bank players are J Hall, and Evan Lunda.

I know, some of the other top guys might be better though. Like Fedor, SVB, and Pagulayan, to name a few.

Man, I feel like a league player now. All my life I've heard about sandbagging for Vegas trips. I never paid it any attention, because I was never in that world. I always hated leagues with a passion. Sit around all night watching bangers block the pockets in 8 ball and tap tap tap for an hour each game. No thanks.

Now I guess I've experienced the sandbagging side of it first hand. Really good players having low ratings, then going to Vegas and cashing in big events.

It all makes sense.

Still, I'd rather stab my eyes out than be in a league again, even if the payday was a nice new car.

Sadly, that is the issue with capped tournaments, as well as leagues. If there is a rating system, someone will find a way to game it. It is very disheartening for the semi-serious amateur that wants to compete in these if you are an honest person.
