Siming Chen

Do you think this young lady's rating would be as high as it is if she were sharing the table with Orcullo, SVB, Alex, Thorsten, etc on the reg?

She would be close to her current level imo-All those guys are above her on Fargo so i dont think losing mostly to them would lower her level and if she beat a few, her level would rise.

Shit, i think she wouldnt even have stuck with the pro game, if she had to be in the general population events.

Maybe. I'm just guessing she would get beat to the shot almost every time, and spend a fair amount of her time in the chair. Something she may not be used to.

I don't know why it wouldn't be.

Sure, initially she wouldn't be accustomed to the degree of return-fire. But it is not like she is unaccustomed to the TV table, late rounds of major events, the pressure of needing to come through when it matters. In fact, she has more under-the-lights experience than male players who play at her level.

And when we look at this initial goofiness, remember it is a two-way street. If she played a similarly-rated male, the monkey may be on the back of the male player--the one who, by conventional wisdom--isn't supposed to lose.

Siming's record over the last four years (since age 19) against the top western players (Allison, Jasmin, Kelly, and Karen) is 96 wins, 68 losses --basically playing 67 points above this competition. It takes a pretty high male pro to match that record.

I think she'd be overwhelmed, but what do I know?
 
Is there anyone in here willing to fly her over here and stake her? I'll take care of sky's side.

Let's make the match happen.

We will play 9 ball, her best game. In a pool room, on broken in cloth. Rack your own.

Let's dance.

No, joe. Nobody who knows pool and will bet a stack wants the lady's half of that.

Well, maybe some dude like fatboy would do it, just to watch you squirm...but then it would need to be a race to 5 or less.

I keep telling them about the women pros who would come to our little local tournaments and not cash...EVER. many never won a set an one big name came thru 2x and didnt win a GAME, two separate times.

Well since she is the draw by a landslide I'd say you got to go to her ,,

You mean like Karen who has won a APT event and finished 2 at Turning Stone ,

This is not rocket science.

If someone claims X and Y play even, and you think Y tortures X

you are supposed to offer something for which YOU think Y still has the advantage, and the other person thinks X has the advantage...

Without this, there'd be as many offers for big action as we have coins in our pockets....

You think this penny will come up heads? Well I've got 30K that says you're wrong; you just need to fly around the world, put up 30K, and flip....
 
so has she overtaken Chezka Centeno(sp?) as the next big female name in the pool world? Not that Centeno has been around forever, but I remember a few months ago she was making a huge splash.

Yes, Chezka (757) is only #6 in the world, we are talking about the #1 female in the world

It's the intangibles. Can I ask you a hypothetical question?

Respectfully, if this Chen lady played a male pro of equal Fargo rating several times (long races) and lost, what would you say the problem was?
