The Italian Stallion from Spaniol is 4-1 favorite to win the final imho.

From memory, Mario led 8-3 and lost 8-11, is that correct? And Ruiz had a great finish in the quarters as I recall.

Ruiz has had finishing straight stream train vibes in his last 2 matches. My early tip to win this event.

Ruiz on a run, trailing by just 1 frame now at 7-8 to Mario He.

Wrong, but I did proffer a potting drill at one time. Just remembered my password and have been bored for a few years while spying for the CIA in Jagmanistan.

Thanks. If Ruiz gets up, he's still one of the aggressive players. I tend to think Mario is likely to pull out a few more big shots. :)

It's interesting that in a tournament so focused on defensive play, that two of the most aggressive/offensive type players will likely make the final. Soufi and He... presuming He continues at current pace.

Nice examples Bob, Interestingly, I think the lower ball might be made with right english, provided it is played very hard with near maximum english. In that case, throw reduces to near the thickening throw of a roll in shot. A shot rarely played. Of course, soft left 1/2 tip makes the pot...

Read some references to Mike Page's game.. was away and google not helping me. Anyone have a link to what Fargo Pool is? Or just explain it to me. I've loved just about everything Mike has posted btw. He's clearly onto the break luck playing far too big a role in modern games. Just behind the...

Slow rugged cloths, grippy rails and big pockets. Easy to maintain and great for the amateurs. Just need a game that is adaptable to force the top players into taking on harder shots, rather than this stun & roll through pattern game. Chinese 8-ball is taking the game to its logical conclusion...

Always Always enjoy your replies Straightpool 99, and it's clear you can play well. I started off with this kind of game as a 3 rail challenge, but for various reasons reduced it to 2 rail. I know for sure this kind of game is so much more fun to watch and play than the current shit games. And...

Here's the game Earl has been dreaming of, to put an end to this lucky break, lucky snooker / kick game with dribbling, rolling and stunning to bore us all stupid. Shitpost attempt, but consider the implications of a multi-rail sport. All in good humour with fellows who appreciate shot making...

I still pop in every few months, but hard to find the time to dedicate to regular participation. I thought I had an account previous to the 2003 listed, but lost password or something. Says I'm no.526 - July 2003.

A few more demonstration shots, to get a feel for the range of shots this game demands. https://youtu.be/o9CIRZOn5Yc

Yay, I got on a list. Thanks Freddie. I never joined RSB as far as I recall, but used to browse some of the old discussions for gems. Certainly quite a few of the names Freddie mentioned taught me a few things. For those interested, I uploaded my first video in a couple of years today...
