Seems lot of challengers coming my way and seems i cant play for money lol.

Just to set record straight.

I grew up playing money matches english 8ball from age 16-30 winning around 90%..then 2006 i switched to american pool ipt..Then 2007 I decided to play 9ball/10ball etc ..And played money matches all over the world and beat lots of top players in head sets and long races 30-35 and won lot more money matches in philippines than any other foreign player in the world and come away winner after spending 6 months there in 2007 Playing massive sets nearly everyday against great players .Then i won lot of matches in USA 2007 and 2008 traveling around. I continued to play for money all over world next few year.. In the middle of that 2009 i played a TAR match race to 100 didn't like the format and played awful against hatch 100-83 .. Then i played Bartram 2010 on tar race to 100 giving the 8ball playing 10ball and played bad 100-93 i run out of steam on last day taking nothing away from chris he did great to come back solid player. I previously beat Chris Bartram in a head set of 10ball gave him the 8ball. and beat him in a head set at 9ball giving him the 8ball.

Last few years I've not played many games because decided to focus more on tournaments which more important..Only one pocket games really and the odd rotation game and a challenge match on tar which not gambling because both get paid and we both played Awefull myself and shane That was jan this year so we was both rusty after xmas break.

But recently i got the bug to play big i mean BIG games again from one pocket /9ball/10ball/8ball/Straight Pool if the games and format are right. Reason why because i believe i better player now than few years ago and i missed playing them huge games when back against wall in foreign countries. I miss that buzz and i love money games.

I waited until Mosconi Cup was Over to respond to The Morris Challenge and then Hatch because i didn't want to get involved in Cat fights and take the focus away from the most important thing winning the Mosconi Cup and not let the team get affected...

But let me tell you this plenty of American Players including shane can get played against europeans but problem is that none of the Americans want to travel to Europe it seems? And always got to be on there terms...

Example Nikos the greek will play any american for huge money if they go to Greece...

I can play any American player in England for huge money also..

Plus be many more games against other players.

Since i Switched to American Pool 90% OF MY GAMES got played outside UK.
Its a big difference to play abroad but i don't mind i love a challenge.

And USA my home now so i know most my games be played here.. but anyone willing to play me in uk can play massive stakes. I was on verge to play dippy dave for $80,000 per man in 2010 one pocket giving him huge spot in England but he got cold feet and pulled out last minute and i even offered him a bodyguard and guaranteed his safety..
So BIG money in England if somebody wants to come get it.

Anyway next year i will play these guys in America but be less money than matches we could play in England.

But when am ready and settled into my house and put the hours in on my table i will start arranging matches... ranging from 10-20k a man....

I already said in another post i will play jeremy jones one pocket and i will give them plenty of notice when I'm ready.

Yes i will play hatch again 10 ball call shot 10 on break doesn't count 10-20k per man. no silly race to 100.. i like best of 5 sets races to 21 or something. Diamond table.

And Rodney Same game. Diamond table.


So just letting you all know i will play..But got lot to do next couple months away from pool.. So will let the guys know i want to play and contact each one of them or there guys When I'm ready .. so be patient please...

Thanks

2014 Could be big action year in states.:-)

I like your style! Bravo! Can't wait to see the festivities unfold. :happydance::happydance::happydance:
 
Thanks, good stuff. American players should go travel if gambling is their thing. Let them prove it. Takes minerals to go to the PI and match up with anyone, especially in an unfamiliar game.

Whilst a different scenario, obviously, that Dippy thing was completely pathetic.
 
okay then, Darren has stated his position. :thumbup:

sounds pretty straight-forward to me.

and as long as you're here, I might as well say congrats to you and the rest of Team Europe on your very impressive Mosconi Cup victory. You boys played S-T-R-O-N-G !!!

but please understand, we're gonna get you next year. :cool: :p

GL with your upcoming money matches.

And thanks for having us in the loop.

best,
brian kc
 
Seems you are in a chicken and egg situation. Darren can get huge money in the UK because that is where he has contacts. USA Player X from New York say probably has the same problem in that they can get big money if the match is in New York..

Oh well. Will take some working out!

And btw. I have seen Appleton play money many times and if I had to have a player play for my life, it would be him.
 
Darren,

Make it two foul, none of them will beat you! Yeah, it's a shame to waste what you've learned in kicking and safeties, but you'll be yards in front in real pot and position games against the yanks.

This might be the best post by a pro player I have seen on this forum, outside of Bartrum.

Kudo's Darren. All the best!

Are there any pool halls in Iceland? Meet half-way on completely neutral ground...
 
Run, America.

He said he's going to take a break, the head start is quite necessary.

Better hide your money too, just in case paths cross.
