Toby F. and Jack played a big match in Vegas. I still remember one shot that was incredible, a double bank making one ball and lagging the other next to his pocket.
The best non-pro player ever?

It's hard to diagram it perfectly, but he was banking one of the balls straight back and the other one 2 rails. And he was doing it afterwards with accuracy.
yea if you need both then you send both at your pocket like that.
if just one, you 2 rail the 6 and kick the 7 sideways.
or if room kick behind the 7, 2 rails to your pocket.
common type of shots that are part of the game. but if the guy is weak its best to just tick around with him till he sells out.

I was in with Jack on that game. I would watch for a few hours and take a break for awhile before coming back. Jack and James did take several breaks over the course of the four days to rest and to eat. It was not one continuous game. They were playing Ten Ahead One Pocket for the 100K.
Jack beat Toby playing on his home turf in Vegas. It was a helluva match. Toby played good but Jack played better. This was a spot where Jack couldn't stall. He had to really let his stroke out and he showed his true skill at One Pocket. Big money on the line too. Jack's forte.
I played Toby some fifty a game Banks (short rack) and broke even with him when he was still new to Vegas. A young kid watched us play and after we were done he corraled me and asked if I wanted to play some "50 a game 9-Ball." I was a little shocked by this young kid and was too tired to even think about it. That 15 year old kid was Shannon Daulton! Lucky me ducked that game.
One other Toby story. Efren tried to give him 11-6 in the Cue Club and Toby crucified him. I was betting 100 a game on the side and won five or six hundred before Efren pulled up.
Toby also beat The Russian out of 200 G's in there and bought in with Henry Nogiec as a partner in the Cue Club. He was dating Julie Nogiec at the time.
