    Efren stories,encounters,meetings....

    The first time I attended the DCC was I think....2004....And, I have to admit....one reason for going was to see Efren up close and personal ....Whenever Efren was playing a match or practicing I tried to be present..... My most memorable moment was watching Efren practice relatively early one...

    Green or Blue - What Say You?

    When I walk in a pool room I like seeing the old, traditional green cloth......It just seems to inspire me more....gives me that feeling that I'm walking into the past. But....there is no question for me....I can definately see the balls better on the blue.....probably 10% better. So I chose...

    Earl playing like the Earl of old

    I wouldn't mind seeing Earl win it for the 6th time but...... I would get more satisfaction from seeing hard-driving, Rafael Martinez catch a couple more gears and go on through the field with his self-composed style and determination. I picked Rafael as a long shot after watching his first...

    Galveston One Pocket Payout

    Allen Jr.....Thanks for laying it out so eloquently in this and your previous posts on this subject of Efren's selfishness. I totally agree with everything you said.....If everyone had agreed to the reduction in the top prize then it would have been OK.....but if one person disagrees then it's...

    Dumping money matches !

    The guy that talked to you about the dumping may be correct. But..... there is always the possiblity that the guy who won was merely paying off a debt of borrowed money to the loser.....as hustlers are famous for borrowing money.....Maybe this was a guy who liked to pay his debts...

    Pool I.Q. - Little Joe Villalpando

    I ordered both of Joe's DVD's a couple weeks ago and they are terrific.... His cue ball control/clock system integrated with the tangent line is explained in a very simple fashion....One of the easiest systems to understand. His other DVD explains 2 and three rail kicks using a failsafe easy...

    If you NEED to speed up one-pocket, do this......

    I agree Doc.......there are ways to speed the game up. Perfect example is your one pocket tourny last year in Gulfport. It was a work of "art" (get the pun). I know when the field gets bigger than 100 players things get a little more complicated. But most local tournaments are around 30 to 50...
