Some have been known to make it look harder as the games played. Thus more money is bet while the sets going. We will never know what Rodney was doing.

What if he made an extra 500, 1k or 2k?
Would that make it a poor performance, or a smart and heady move?
You only get the game once, that's it.
Agreed, this was a poor performance actually little embarrissing that it took so mnay tries. I think the lesser guys like bartram, dechaine, compton, nevel, shuff, would be a good game for rodney...others like appleton, svb, biado, boyes, feijen, orcullo etc he has no chance, needs weight
If he was dogging it to generate more action that would make it a very slimy tactic that reflects poorly on pool and himself.
I am not suggesting he was but if he was...

Bartram, Compton and Nevel would not beat Rodney in a long race of 10 ball IMO, Shuff or Dechaine might have a chance but I still think Rodney wins those matches too. All those Europeans could get played at DCC against Rodney but none of them will step up for the cash there.
Stalev might try him. Russia is Eastern Europe.
Lenny, you really don't think Niels will "step up" and play him right now?
People have no idea how well Rodney plays for money. Jose Parica told me about 10 years ago that Rodney and Alex were the 2 best money players in the world. A few months later Rodney beat Alex playing even 9ball. I heard they played again after that and Alex won, but I'm not sure. Rodney can play with anyone when it comes to gambling at 9ball or 10ball. I don't think anyone on earth can fade SVB's break, but Rodney versus Shane with a designated breaker would be a close match.
Bot we do all agree that it would take a top player playing damn near full speed to beat Rodney?
His tourney results might not reflect it, but he is a badass mofo, believe that. There's a lotta easier action out there.

.it's not the past that's "stuck," it's the present
Rodney just won the last US OPEN 10 Ball and beat the "best of the best" to do it.
I feel like I'm "knocking" him to a bunch of suckers.
But no one will play him anyway, even on Diamond tables which is his weakest game. On Gold Crowns with worn cloth he was one of the two toughest players I ever gambled with.... Efren in an "all Filipino pool room" in Seattle was the other one.......Johnny Archer gets a close 2nd. 
I wish it was like the "old days," but the report I'm getting from DCC is the same ole stuff.....it's not the past that's "stuck," it's the present. 'The Game is the Teacher'

You can also add that he was getting sharked at certain times as well by the d-bag(s) that were betting against him during this...
Kudos to Rodney!

I converted him I think...Ultra Barry now.

Funny that you're always trying to build up Rodney's [CURRENT] gambling game, and you're referencing a tournament win to make me think he's CURRENTLY a great gambler.
best post of the thread
RODNEY PLAYED GREAT PERIOD...i dogged a few of the rules i was tired from working all day drove over there in a hurry to get it to go off...anyone that thinks the lower tear players like bartram and compton can beat it they can go 10 ahead and i can be back over there just as fast...corey can play too...bets unlimted boys...great shooting for rodney.....cj can play oscar too...

I don't know Niels as a gambler, never heard or seen it. I am sure if he ask Rodney to play then he will get action. Rodney is at Derby and has people behind him looking to get him in action.
