It can be more than one player! Give your reason why you think they are a monster player? Monster player meaning a person who plays pool super good! Thanks.

Name someone you think is a monster player at your pool room or pool hall!

There are no monster players in our local room. Fire a ball in, and all the regulars will think you're a champ. And if you ask for a game, they'll assume you're a roadie.
Johnny Archer, Kim Davenport, Shawn Putnam.
My reason for thinking they are monster players... 2 world champions and a world class pro.
Danny Medina because he still plays better than all the locals and was a world beater in his prime.
not very nice to say but I haven't seen a monster in a long time
It isn't very nice to say but I haven't seen a monster player in our neck of the woods in a long time. One passes through now and then but none are regulars. We have some very good players, some shortstops. I think Jamie F is probably the self proclaimed best and he doesn't dominate other local players losing pretty often in heads up play against other locals. A Buddy Hall or Earl in his prime would own any hall in south Louisiana he set up shop at.
To my way of thinking a true monster is head and shoulders above other players in the area, once in awhile there are a handful in one place but they dwarf the rest of the field. We don't have that sharp line between a player or a few players and the field.

Hu, I think I know a couple, but I don't want to say!
Their are a lot of heavy hitters in my home pool hall in Metairie, Louisiana, and Marietta, Georgia! I play at both of these pool halls. Buffalo's Billiards the World's pool hall! And Marietta Billiards Club, plus Mr Cues II. In the Atlanta, GA. Area. He, he, he, Hu I heard that you might be a monster player!!!! I see a lot of monster players.

not me!
I was never better than a shortstop on my best day and that day is long behind. When I came back to pool I said I'd go back to gambling when and if I hit 85% of my old game. Never happened on the big track except very rarely on an old table. Seems like my elbow would get smarter but it is still calibrated for slow cloth and half-dead rails. My game is probably at least two balls better at Bayou than Buffalo's and I never play at Bayou. Occasionally I catch a little lightning in a jar but it is just a fluke these days.
My definition of monster might have an off night a few times a year. The rest of the time he will produce fair sized packages on demand. I played partners with a guy, we were up thirteen games when I had shot twice. He stepped in the door cold, grabbed a bad house cue, and started with a run from their dry break and seven break and runs behind that. Somebody that makes a habit of playing like that is a monster. Keith, Dave Matlock, some of those guys were true monsters on a bar box. Either one of those might be surprising today. Dog the coin flip and you might be done even in fairly long sets.
Somebody local whose game I like when he is playing seriously is BobbyH. I think it was before you were here that Buff put a bounty on ScottyT and JamieF in a nice added money tournament. Bobby won, winning both bounties along the way. He wasn't playing seriously at the time. (Please don't post Bobby's last name. Some know it, those that don't don't need to! :thumbup: )

You're too modest, Champ. You're a legend and a monster player in your own mind here on AzB! :thumbup:
Lock,
I know several monster pool players, they don't get out far from the house much, but none the less a champion would have a time beating them on their home court, but I'm not outing them.......
there are many.....
David Harcrow
Hey Cat, give me a couple of names, besides yourself!!!
We know about you, but we would like to have a few names from you about your other monster players. Come on Cat a couple of names wont hurt anything! You said they never get far from home anyway!!! Thanks Cat.

I am from Indianapolis we only got a couple of pool rooms and plenty of action. The monsters we have do not come out to play much. If any road players come through Indy hit the Brickyard poolroom on the west side you will get played, we normally do not have to call out the monsters to put some action together. The monsters we have are all well known Brian G. (we got 2 of them only one stays in punch) George B (does not play much any more) Jeanette L (awesome lady. plays all games well) and Mr. Jeff Beckley an up and coming 8 ball player on a bar table.
Hu, I played Scotty two times at Buffalo's Billiards...
He has not been back since. He plays great pool. Jamie was playing Mark C. a couple nights ago. They were playing ten ball. They finally broke even! Jamie plays good too. You are the man though Hu!
