Is Hennessey considered top ( ) gambling?

Yeah but in the long run its not even close.
Pool is crazy like that.
The best player in the state looks like a chump against anyone in the top 30...
It's unfortunate.
I tried everything I could a few years back to get him a nice pay day, free trip, and free ride to Turning Stone with everything covered....absolutely impossible.
shot clock would be needed for Bergman
Bergman plays fine, on the clock.

that's a LONG time ago for a pool player. iirc Henny had a bad car/bike wreck and took a while just to play again. plus he ain't any younger. last time i saw him gamble high was in tunica in '12.
He played a pretty big set last year with Patsura. 10ball on the 9 foot. Play was fairly even. Patsura broke much better, and often followed a rack win with a B&R. Henney almost never made a ball on the break, so he could not get any momentum. The break advantage affected the score greatly iirc.

I've been told it's nothing to do with covid. I was told that he is on a dark road, I was on that road before ( clean 6 years now), but from what I understand he dosen't want to leave home because of addiction. Yes I said it. I would think that's why he wont travel because of fear of getting ( busted) or not being able to feed his addiction away from home. There was a video that surfaced last year of him playing in a guy's house and he is wearing a mask I would assume that his teeth could be bad and he doesn't want to show them. I truly hope he can get his life together. It would be awsome to see him back out playing to boot
Eh, I think they both need the shot clock.
Before that wreck he was playing the best he ever has. At that time Shane was probably the only American who was a favorite (especially at his pool room). He's got a ton of heart and gamble and is honestly a pretty good guy who has let his emotions get the best of him at times. He's still very capable of of getting the cash but has never been the same since that wreck.
I was there that year. If I am not mistaken... I think it might have been more like 12 years ago.. Whenever the last year at the Executive West was. There was a LOT of action at the Executive West DCCs, before we got stuck with that f**king casino.
I think that was also the year that Justyn "Roadman" Cone played Grady Matthews giving him 20-10 at One Pocket... Grady really impressed me with his play.. Even though Justyn shot WAY straighter.. Grady would play a stop shot safe dead in the middle of the table.. And Justyn had no workable shot, and nothing but awkward angles to play off of. And Grady did that over and over.
That's interesting. I don't believe I've ever seen that done on purpose and often. The typical default is to hide and/or leave long.
No, Jayson was 27. He was Billiards Digest Player of the Year in 2016 and US Open 9ball champion in 2017. We are talking about Shaw in his prime, not a Shaw that had yet to bloom.
Yes, Hennessee cannot beat the top guys playing even, but even he knows that.

Maybe, depends on how much chalk is laying around.
