14-15, but probably 1 or 2 more if he hasn’t been playing.

 

[Island Drive]

14 game spot?

 

[iusedtoberich]

A 21-6 race would favor Mike 58.6%.
A 21-7 race would favor Filler 55.5%.

Yikes those are HUGE spots.

And that is the thing about fargorate trnmnts with divisions that span 150 points.

Doesn't seem right. I don't care how old Mike is.

Sure it does. Fedor is going to string racks together, Mike ain't.

 

[straightline]

Hard to say though. Magic rack? He could get that wired yesterday.

Go back and watch the finals of the IPT's King of the Hill event that was in Orlando. Efren vs. Sigel. That was nearly 20 years ago. Mike was in fine voice, though.

 

[straightline]

I think he wore his focus out in the warmup. Ran 8 racks he said.

9 ball on new stuff would be child's play. All depends on what synapses are firing.

I think all you need is someone to stake Mike.

 

[iusedtoberich]

I’d def bet on Mike at the Fargo odds, given he practiced for 3 weeks straight. I couldn’t watch it though. His antics would drive me nuts.

Although now that I think of it, Strickland played Sigel about 10 years ago 6 or 7 different sets, across many game types. It was organized by Accustats. From memory, Strickland won all but one set. He killed Mike on most of the sets. Filler today is way way way stronger than Strickland was 10 years ago.

why do you think the guy spotting another always seems to win.

few ever get a big enough spot. and never realize what a dog they are.

The only other dequalizer I can think of is Sigel is on apathy and not at all in stroke.

I think this type of matchup would be fun to watch with the right players, and a baiting handicap.

This fantasy match would not be close in any way. I love Mike and all he's done but now he's just DONE. He'd get embarassed and i'd rather not sweat that.

I think a match of this type could be great for business/fun.
Don't have to use Mike or Earl their acting out/ugh, there are allot of others that would be better in this production.

Maybe Toby Sweet .

Sweet is long retired from pool. I'd rather watch two vets play each other any time. Watching players well passed their 'sell by' date get tortured by current talent is not something i'd pay to see.
