Dennis O

Over here in the TAR studio, I like Shane's game right now. In Taiwan he would probably be in trouble playing under their conditions. So let's call it a draw. That's one reason why it's so tough for the American/foreign players to do well in China. The conditions favor the Chinese and Taiwanese players and not the rest of the top players. Filipinos are the exception. They adapt better than anyone else to different table conditions. They would play on the floor if the money was right! :p

All that said, I'd love to see Ko Pin Yi lock it up with Shane in Vegas. Among the ten or fifteen top Taiwan players he is the Alpha dog right now. His break might be just as good as Shane's as well. I still like Shane on the TAR table. He really caught his high gear against Dennis.

I would definitely pay to see Ko Pin Yi play Shane in an extended TAR match.

What are the playing conditions in China that favor the Taiwanese and Chinese players Jay?
 
JCIN can you ask Shane next time if you have a podcast with him does he still turn off his hearing aids when he plays? Bet thats just pure concentration turning an disadvantage into a advantage.
 
I wouldn't be so sure. Oscar couldn't make a game with a known pro on the pro's table for 500 dollars. the pro wanted a little weight and would not budge. a guy like Bobby c would have a line a mile long to play him but shanes line would be much much shorter.

First off Barton you always find a way to inject your poison comments into threads uninvited.No one cares for your opinion.
You already have said you approve of dogs being slautered and eaten in China and that is just plain sick especially to many people like myself that dedicate so much time to animal rescues.You said because alot of animals in america are abused it shouldnt matter about dogs getting eaten in China.
Now since you mentioned my name Bobby C to be slick as i wouldnt see it here .As for the ine of Chinese players in line to play play me.This is what I know about 1 chinese person named John B.
John B-rton challenged me to play him and also challenged me against another player with B-rton staking that game and I ACCEPT both matches so POST UP B-RTON OR JOHN B.
You interject your opinion in every thread that your day allows you to do when your not designing cases(Jb not a case maker by his own words).
How about before you start talking about a line of players in China that will play me for no apparent reason you talk more crap about me you take care of business about the 2 matches you talked all that crap about and get your money posted.After you post the money you can talk all the crap you want and even use my full name so it will be easier to see my name instead of you just beating up my 1st name.

John B vs.Bobby C for 20k
Bobby C vs Chris B for 20k with John B putting up the 20k staking Chris B

when you challenge someone part of the game is to post the money and not try to back out by saying you dont like someone so bets off.

Post the money and i will play you in Vegas in July.I want to post this week.
How long do you need to raise the money to post up as i will not let you try to pay me off in pool cases after losing like you tryed with other people.CASH ONLY POST UP JOHN B.

NO MORE BARKING JOHN B.No one wants to hear excuses anymore so lets get the funds posted and the first match played and if you have any more money left or can borrow more money then we can discuss you staking all these Chinese girls to play me that you talk about.
BTW if Shane isnt the greatest money player in whatever opinion you have then go ahead and put your money up and back what players you want and Im sure Shane will accept your challenge and then ofcourse you will twist it around and then say no bet because you dont like Shane.

You mad Bro? Someone hit a nerve. :eek:

I can't take exception to your put up or shut up challenge tho! :thumbup:

Don't know what your game looks like these days Bobby, and don't know if these 2 challenges have any weight involved. Do they? JB surely can't playing even vs Chris B, so I'd suspect there'd have to be some weight involved on one or both with you playing them.

No nerve from me hit at all I promise>Usually when someone challenges someone there is no weight involved however I have never seen john B-rton play ever but since some people on azb have sayed I have an advantage I offered him a 20% spot on the the games played and as for the game against Chris B everyone has stated Im a huge underdog and I agree im an underdog for sure and not asking for any weight against Chris B. B-rton said he would put the money up on that game so it will be a best 2 out of 3 race to 500 straight pool.As for how Im playing I would say not very good.As most of you know my health has been declining so I have good days and bad days but Im still fighting a tough fight and surely will never give up and also not make any excuses if I lose 20k on each match.
Im Just trying to post my money at stated and get the matches started ASAP.Also the matches that B-rton CHALLENGED ME was him playing me and the 2nd match B-rton staking Chris b vs me at any game.There was a 3rd challenge B-rton made that he said he would stake Kelly Fisher playing Chris B and Chris B accepted and then B-rton backed down and said since Chris B. was so confident then he should spot kelly the 7 ball.To cover himself B-rton sayd he has 1,600 already bet if they play this year.B-rton sure does backpeddle very quickly when people accept his challenges sometimes.

Larger pockets and cloth that's slick as ice. They are used to it and the rest of the world isn't.
 
And here all along I thought you guys were talking about that Irish pool player, Dennis O'Hatch.

Sorry, I get confused easily some days.
 
Shane issued a $20,000 challenge to Ko Pin Yi last night through Andy who knows his manager. Hopefully we can work out a way to get him over here. I am pretty sure that number could go to $30K real easily. Shane may not be the best but show me anyone else doing that shit.

You said "we". Is this going to be on TAR? I'm not sure what relationship you guys and Shane have, but it would be sweet to watch if you can swing it.

Can I hold the money if y'all play??!
 
dennis and shane

Just think of how people would be talking about Dennis had this match gone his way to the extent it went SVB's..people would be chirping "told you he was the best"...race to 100 shows who is the best player AT THIS TIME, as there is plenty of time/games to come back and show heart which Dennis did no doubt on the last day..but he faced a monster in Shane and nobody in the world could have beaten SVB this past weekend period...if that doesn't mean he's the best right now..I don't know what does. That was basically perfect 10 Ball by SVB.

And on top of that if you listened to the commentary, SVB wanted to bet higher then the 5K they had on the side and Dennis declined. Shane knew he could outplay anybody at this point in time in a long 10 ball race..Shuff said during the match.."I sure dont want a piece of him"

people don't realize how much better dennis is when you tighten the table you see who really is the best player all around because it show the flaws in your game. dennis have no flaws does everything right. shanes break evens the score on a bucket table and dennis is also traveling to a foreign country to play. I have not seen shane win overseas yet. dennis wins everywhere he goes. Shane is a great player but dennis is the greatest player on the planet without question.

Haha.Thanks for the offer.I designated the post money to be held by Nick Varner as he is very well respected in the billiard Industry and very wll trusted.B-rton said no way because it was a conflict of interest.Fatboy offered but I really dont know him.
I designated Mark griffin as He is without any doubt the most important person there is anywherein the world concerning pool and is very well liked and trusted by everyone.
Also Mark griffin has played in many,many professional tournaments and is a professional player and has been around in the pool world for at least 40 years.That beng said here are the advantages to mark holding the post money.

Mark is trusted by everyone.
Mark can make all the rules so no one is cheated.
Mark can designate a neutral referee
Mark can supply a table and place to play the matches

Absolutley mark is the best choice of anyone in the world.

POST UP B-ARTON
 
The safest bet in pool is JB won't post I don't know why he thinks he can 30 on Shane I would think that would make him competitive with Bobby :-)

How much do you want to bet against it?

If I say I will post with a person then I will post with them. So when you're ready to bet on what I will or won't do then ship it in and you can lose that bet.

Right, because the TAR Diamond table sport buckets. I do believe both players were shooting balls into the same pockets, no? Were they using the same balls? Both breaking from the same head string?

-roger <---bursting bubbles left and right tonight.

Ya know what, I'm beginning to think that playing with 4" pockets must hurt everyone's game, because if they play so damn great with 4" pockets...what happens to them same players when they're playing on a table with 4 1/2" pockets? I would think they'd be running out from everywhere because they're a 1/2" bigger then what they're use to playing on....so, how come that don't help with getting the win on an easier table to play on?:rolleyes:

Yep, and why does Shane seem to do so well playing one pocket?

Oh, it must be that big break of his.

Well I don't know. Shane ran a 7 pack on the tight TAR table and no one else has been anywhere close to that.

Let's just all congratulate Shane on a freaking dominating performance. I mean honestly the South Dakota Kid put a clinic on Dennis that Dennis isn't likely to forget soon.

You can talk about equipment all day but Dennis has been around the block and played under every condition from perfect to horrible for money. It can't get better than a dedicated studio with people catering to your every need and a perfect table to play on. Both guys played on the same table and one of them dominated it.

Let Dennis go work on the break and figure it out to the level Shane has and then see what happens. He actually beat Shane on day three in games.

Was a great match really, one of the best of the TAR matches IMO.
