8 games? man ktown you want the WORLD. I tell you what, ill take dennis and 8 games, and if I lose, which im sure I will, you gotta give me the break, ball in hand, and the last 6 on the bartable. There is a thread around here somewhere about you beating Dennis and darren in a game of cutthroat.
That is a bet but if I win.............you gotta shave the 'stache.:thumbup:
This should be a cracking match, both fantastic seasoned money players. I have been backing Darren in money games for 10 years now and he does not lose many. Always prepared to play and has crossed swords with many of the best.
Dennis is also a great and proven money player, can't wait for this one!!!

Dude, I have a full blown beard now. Just call me P J carlisimo
Crossing swords - you need to learn to stay in the front while your buddy handles the back. I think I would puke if I ever crossed swords with another guy.
:withstupid::scratchhead:I just did a google image search on crossing swords, and I didnt like it:frown:
Unlike most in this thread I don't have a clue who I really like in this matchup.
The field that Darren won the World 10-ball championship in was unreal, he beat Wu Chia Ching in the finals who I would bet on if he played Dennis Hatch in a match like this. Dennis Orcollo was in the event, as was Yang Chin Shun, and I will tell you that either of those guys are getting my side action against Dennis Hatch. SVB played in it as well and I would have to think he is the favorite in a long 10-ball match against Dennis Hatch.
That said those are tournaments, and Dennis Hatch is for sure a dead solid gambler.
The question I have to ask is
"Does Dennis Hatch play quite abit lower then his top speed in tournaments?"
Because I have never seen him playing to the level of Yang or Orcollo in their huge money match, and both of those guys pull that game out in world championship tournaments as well. Darren has the speed to go with the top players in the world in 10-ball as he proved in winning the Worlds, does Hatch play at that level for the cash? Because I have not seen him play that level in a tournament and he thus must really amp his game up for the cash compared to what he does in tournaments if he is going to suddenly play at that level. I am talking starting to put together 5 packs of 10 ball, because for the top in the world in a race to 100 you have to expect that kind of speed.
Not sure, in all reality I probably take Yang, Wu, Orcollo, and others over Darren as well in a match like this. But given he won such a huge event with a field like that, comprising hundreds of winning games of 10-ball all against world class players, I cannot really see him as much of an underdog against those guys.
Either Darren is going to have to shoot worse then his World Championship winning level of 10-ball or Dennis is going to have to shoot good enough that he could actually win an event like that with that field. That is kind of the way that it stands and it is by no means cut and dry. If Dennis is that good then he should be even money with SVB and it should be in question who is the best money player in the USA atm, which often times seems to get defaulted to SVB.

Dennis plays better when he's gambling than he does in big tournaments from what I've seen. I've never seen Darren gamble though, so I'm probably not going to bet on this one. I guess if I were forced to choose I'd pick Dennis because he has such unreal talent, also if they play on a tight table I like Dennis there as well.
True, forgot about that ban. Not sure why I thought I remembered him in it. Perhaps it was Manalo I was thinking about.
I don't know how this match came together, but I think it's great that DAZ is on the scene here in the states and doesn't seem to be scared to get into action.
I also want to give props to Dennis Hatch because from what I've seen here in AZ, there have been a lot of people wanting him to get into action again, and now his fans are getting what they want.
I don't know if it happened, but I am glad that there hasn't been any whining about wanting or needing a spot on the forums, between the two of them at least(railbirds woof at each other all you want).
These two are going to play heads up, and for this set at least the best man will win. Hopefully down the road they will play again and again after this first time and keep us all entertained.
As for me, I don't know how I'm going to handle waiting for the match to happen!!!

How bout at the fl pro tour event when he ran 2 5 packs bak to bak? And by the way he beat Marlon Manalo 8-1. He also beat Miz 9-1 in the finals of a pro tour event when he was 16. Dennis is capable of hitting a very high gear and beating anyone in the world. Also your talking about darren winning a tournament where the races are very long. This is a race to 100 so i will b looking forward to seeing how long dennis can keep in that high gear and if darren can fade it.
tourney vs ahead sets-
You gotta look at it like this, a tourney is lik a 1/4 mi race an there are lots of folks that can match a top player up to gear 3. lenghtenen it out to where he gets to hit gears 4+5 and you will see the difference.
