That is just kick A$$

You're all suckers, but never mind that. Look what I got from a buddy in the Philippines.

Manalo said “Proceeds from the sale of the book and other merchandise sold at the Pacman Cue Club will go to a fund for senior and current pool players”.

Oscar definitely didn't play his top speed. He looked "off". Maybe it was the"conditions". Maybe something else.
Sometimes you just don't have it that day/ weekend.
Would be interesting to see if they rematch at Hard Times.
Raulito could definitely play.

That match was a shitshow and brutal to watch.

There is no way in hell that guy plays better than Oscar, but Oscar let the "conditions" dictate the outcome of the match.

If he can't fade this guy, there is no way people on here should be screaming that he should play in the Mosconi Cup.

I miss the time where they were wearing formal clothings.

I once remember seeing miz playing and he had to reach over the table. He undid his pants and tucked the whole tail of his jacket in so that he could shoot without fouling. Any balls right in front of everybody.

I don't mind doing away with the formal wear as long as the players look good it is okay.
I'll tell you another funny thing I saw regarding players wearing suits. I was at the US Open in Chicago and I was really excited to see Luther Lassiter.

On night one I saw him in the lobby and even went up on the elevator with him he looked beautiful. On night three and four he didn't look so good anymore. It became obvious that this may have been the only suit he had. It still had powder and chalk marks on it. It was kind of sad, I think I was a little disillusioned. His play though lived up to everything I imagined.

later in the week I even had a brief conversation with him and he told me a very funny story.

i would rather beat a better player out of a few hundred getting a spot i can win at. then donating a few hundred to a top pro just to watch him run balls and then say thank you.

two hundred up rather than two down is a 400 dollar difference that really is the cost. if you have the choice of each.
