The us open 10ball has a very tough field as well and very few birds. It's also $25. Just thought you would want a little action on it.
Ko Pin Yi is easily one of the strongest players on Earth right now. This is what comes out of a country where second tier professionals are world class.
When Wu Chia Ching won the World Championships at 16 he wasn't even the top ranked player in his age group in Taiwan.
Allison has no shot to beat him over distance. He is just that strong. Frankly there isn't any American that wants a piece of this kid - maybe SVB, maybe Dennis Hatch, but no matter WHO plays him no one has better than a 50/50 chance to win.

I have no Pay Pal.
The Open is a great event and maybe we should be concentrating on how well the player is doing and not whether the player is a man or a woman. In general, men are physically stronger than women (and can usually break better), but I've known some women who were a lot stronger than the average Joe. Let's stop berating women players and start enjoying the play in the Masters. I'd love to see Jasmine, Kim, or Pan take it all.

i'll bet 50 that at least 1 of the women will get past their fist match.
i know the upper echelon pros play way better than the female pros but the female pros can still hold their own against anyone that's not in the top 10 (imo).
ga young kim and jasmin ouschan play well enough to compete with the men. im pretty jasmin has played in the mens tournaments before and gave a lot of 'em a run for their money. i heard she beat thomas engert. any truth to that?
This thread got really freakin interesting in a hurry!
US OPEN 10 BALL players are ones who have qualified or received an invitation from CSI.....
Good luck to all,
Mr. J.
Even Efren. Especially in tournament play. I mean these guys exemplify the expression "never miss".
I feel that any pro can beat any other pro in any given tournament match. Sure, rolls go a certain way, a few key misses here and there, etc....
Which is why I said 50/50 or flipping a coin - no one's got a better chance than that to win against Ko Pin Yi on average.
I mean Ko Pin Yi could get name-stung and lose to Efren because of that but I think his 11 pack on Orcullo in the finals goes a long way towards showing that he is pretty seasoned already.
You can mail me a sack of quarters.
It wouldn't be hard at all.
Cliff Joyner gave her the 7 and got there when Allison was in her prime.
Cliff played better then also but not Ko's speed...at least not at 9-ball.
You'll get more action than you want....a lot more
That's easy, they played like a buncha gurrrrrllss!!
Hu
Actually, they played worse than a bunch of gurrrrllss!
I will have to politely disagree with Allison's game not having decreased in quality. I have heard several people say this also. The fact of the matter is, Allison does not play pool right now as well as she used to...not by a long shot actually. She still has the occasional display of brilliance, but her game has declined in the past two years. You compare her glory years of the early 2000's to her play since early 2008 to present and the difference in level of play is noticeable. And I say that has very little to do with Jasmin, Ga Young or Xiaoting because Allison's game of old still trumps any newcomer. I think a lot of people just easily forget how good she was. She used to go whole events with a handfull of missed shots, whereas now she is more prone to missing shots she would never have missed and doing so more frequently.
You and the several people have your opinion and I stick with mine. Johnnyt
