All Around Match - Alex vs Dennis - Who Wins?!
- Thread starter Fast Lenny
- Start date
Alex's snooker experience has exactly zero bearing on who'd win an all-around at pool right now. You keep going off topic.
Best post in the thread!
I've played snooker against Alex and have to disagree with you here. ability wise he's definitely capable of being on the tour. What he seems to lack is really interest, mainly in devoting himself to that game with the level of seriousness needed. In pool he can take things easy and stay at or near the top of all his games, but he really can't do that at snooker when all the other guys are training hard and practicing eight hours a day.
... Ability wise, so is Orcullo if he ever wants it bad enough.
I wish this site had a "like" button. save me the bother of all this typing....
The irony is that these 2 are the same age, are best of friends and have been battling it out for more than a decade, for free on crappy equipment in the PHI , in front of locals only.
Never streamed.

Dennis has not won one pocket
Alex is the only person to have won all three primary disciplines. Nobody else has ever done it. There are a few with two out of three. You could get two more with all three this year if say, Shane wins the banks, and Dennis wins one pocket. Or even if Efren wins the banks. Varner just needs a 9 ball win to get all three, and Daulton needs one pocket. I think Dennis is a great player, but Alex with his head right is the favorite IMO. I think Alex made the finals of the 14.1 also. But it could have been the semi-final.

Dennis(10b,8b) actually beat Shane(1p) in an all-around on TAR. Dennis(8b,10b) also beat Dazz(1p) in an all-around on TAR too.
I could be mistaken on who won what.
I think it really is a flip of the coin between Dennis, Shane, Dazz, and Alex in an all-around.

My mistake on Orcullo in the one pocket. You are right, Alex reached the 14.1 final once, in 2011.
Alex has much more experience playing one pocket than Dennis. Dennis just started playing one hole in the last few years.
IMHO Alex is the favorite in one pocket. He took Scott Frost apart twice for the money. I am talking about one hole on a table with tight pockets as its supposed to be played.
Gambling?....Pinoys?
Of the greatest money players who ever came out of the Philippines....
...Jose Parica leads the list, with Alex right behind.
When cards and dice are treating them unkindly, they've been backed....
..but Alex and Jose have bet more of their OWN money by accident than most players
will ever bet on purpose.
Of the current American players, I will put Shane and Scott in this category also.
.....there are more.
But a lot of so-called money players need a 'board meeting' when the cash gets put up...
.....and Dennis is one of those.
Anyone who doesn't think it's Alex is not paying attention. He plays world class anything and his heart and gamble is the stuff of legends. Who else but him could have come back from that big deficit to catch and beat Shane.
When SVB get in front of Dennis he folds like a cheap suit and sulks in his chair.

Alex has zero chance beating Shane or Dennis right now 10 ball long set ,, he gets 10 games on the wire
1
He has to show faith in his horse, just like coaches have to show faith in their players.
I think he would put up the money to make the match happen, if Alex wants to play, just like he put up 50k for Dennis to play Shane (considering Dennis' record against Shane).

Alex be stealing
Maybe we should define "money player"
