Rodney Morris Challenges the Top 25 European Players
- Thread starter CJ Wiley
- Start date
No race to 27 in one hole? Pussies. :grin-square:
In other words, you don't know.
The rumor is that they'll play a ten ahead race in one-handed eight ball last pocket.
Do you know if this is gambling or a challenge match?
A "Race to 1" (single elimination) is much more pressure than a marathon "Race to 11"
A "Race to 1" (single elimination) is much more pressure than a marathon "Race to 11". Playing "Races to 1" you can't afford to make any mistakes and you better take each shot as if it's your last.....because it probably will be.:wink:

the ultimate pressure
No, the ultimate pressure would be gambling for your life.....
So the ultimate pressure would be gambling by the game

We do that everyday as soon as we step outside.
Yes, in his prime, Larry Lisciotti based some of his gambling philosophy on this idea. He often made an offer that any player could play him one rack of nine ball on a silly-tight table for $1,000, with a lag for break. Even when there were better players than him in the room, they tended not to bite, and rightly so, for Larry had a special ability to fade that kind of pressure and everybody knew it.
A few weeks ago he posted on here he was looking for big money matches this year and would play anyone

Ha Ha, your best post ever! Some of us have been there or damn close.
When I beat the Biker dude out of all his money and his Harley and he called me outside, I was more than a little worried. I bet you've seen the light of day yourself.
Mike Carella bet his life and died. So did David Sizemore. Danny Medina faced down a man with a gun in his belly!

95% of the world's population are not interested in the first two, and you can't get much more 'mainstream' than that.
The standard of reporting varies from country to country, obviously.

I'm not doubting his willingness (or ability) to step forward for big money matches.
I remembered he called the three days races to a 100 'brutal'. A format he said he
didn't enjoy.
I guess if you're not enjoying the format (and considering there's a sizeable amount riding on it),
you would be a fool to keep stepping up to three day races to 100.

A few years ago I was at a tournament and there was an English pool pro there, name of Alex Shennan.
Although it was a pool tournament Alex was deeply engaged in a card game. But he kept being pestered by a Young Gun to play for money.
Come on Alex let's gamble.
I'm playing cards.
Let's play pool
Go way (or words to that effect)
You're not a gambler then.
Alex reaches into his leather jacket and pulls out a roll that would choke a horse.
From his stack he picks up a coin.
That's three grand there. You want to gamble?
Heads or tails?
Another time Alex was due to play in a televised tournament. He arrived at the venue ten minutes before his match on a booming motor cycle. He entered the venue carrying a plastic shopping bag from which he extracted a screwed up tuxedo, dress shirt and a tie. Then changing out of his bikers leathers he picked up his cue and walked out into the arena.
They don't make them like that any more. Or do they?.

Alex Shannon. Legend...
I tried to look him up on Google and came up empty.
Does anybody have a link to anything they can post about him? Piqued my interest.
Daz told me about his schedule and I was not paying attention to absorb everything he said. He told me two times and I still don`t remember the details. He gave the dates of his trip to China ( end of Decembe) and will be coming back to Las Vegas directly from China. I don`t know what game and how much money etc .I did not ask for the details. I have vague memory of what he told me. I may be wrong about TAR but I definitely remember the name of the person he is playing. He told me this when we were going to dinner along with some family and friends.
