Awesome video - gotta love Philippines :-) I've been playing in many places in Philippines, and one thing is certain, everyone knows Efren, and he always attracts a crowd. I once played him in his hometown, and even the police stopped patroling and joined the crowd. There are 2 reasons why...

Top 20 still not paid? That's just sad... The saddest part is unfortunately that I'm not surprised... Poolplayers never seem to learn. "Insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"

Ok, I never check az anymore, because I've got so much stuff going on I have to choose what to use my sparetime on. Still involved a little bit in pool, kind of, but not what it used to be... :/ Undortunately it is the same guy :-) (Chubby is good. In Africa) Good one :-)

The Filipinos are probably just as good as they were a few years ago, they just happen to play less events... This is what I posted about the poolscene in Manila in another thread, and is probably some of the answer. "Not much to tell about talents. To be honest, things have changed...

Ok, you got me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLeg0EPWosM&feature=youtube_gdata_player This is a amateur-recorded video of the final, and he got both the sound and speed wrong when uploading it, but atleast you get to watch 6-8 racks in just a few minutes :-) I think it's the only video from the final...

I had to play him a short race to 3 so my nephews could see me playing him, other than that I stayed away and let others play him. I've played him so many times, and am going back to Manila in the summer again, so I can play him cheap there instead ;) I did lose $ 100 on him though, I thougt...

This was one shot he showed us, how he managed to come back from an impossible situation and leave safe back to the other player. (I think he said it was Johnny Archer he had played) EDIT: Sorry, It's been too many years since I used cuetable, have forgotten how to use it so can't show you...

Efren Reyes was invited to Norway this weekend by the owners of a poolhall in the city of Bergen, to play in the Bergen Open 9-ball. 110 players entered this handicap-event, with $ 100 entryfee and about $ 2000 added. Players got games on the wire based on their skillevel, and could get as...

Efren won 15-13. Right now Lolong plays Orcullo in rotation, race 11, spot 30-90. 7-6 to Lolong. Morra is playing some cheap one-pocket with Ed, giving 10-7 and is down 2-1 to 4. Jek Jek is also in action, but opponent unknown for me. Good crowd at One Side today, but I'm tired so heading for...

At One Side now. A few matches going but everyone is interested in what's going on in Quezon City. Will 19 year old Chua beat Efren in 10-ball, even, for 35k pesos? Updates so far says 11-10 to champ race to 15

John Morra has now been playing Alcano, Orcullo and is supposed to play Efren one of the next days. He's basically been playing nonstop for two weeks, small, medium and big sets. Plays all the time. Been lots of action the last days, mostly because me, Morra and a norwegian pokerplayer have put...

A lot more players are interested in one-pocket now. In 2007 only a handful knew the rules. But they only bet cheap in these games, and it is hard to handicap. These days any guy who holds a cue is a big challenge for me, so I stick to sidebets. Word is that end of June will be a gamblers...

Yesterday was a good day for John Morra, winning several matches, including the one where me and Lolong bet 15000, plus winning against Jek Jek for I think the same. Today was the day for rematches. 18000 vs Lolong, but I said handicap had to be + 2 games and the 8, not +1 and 8, race to 18...

Alcano was here on Tuesday, watching a match for a few minutes, then left. Sorry :( Maybe there will be action tonight, because Django is playing Ko Pin Li (sp?) for $5000 tomorrow night at a casino

Our friend Lolong lost a match with me as backer. I didn't see the end of the match, but I guess you can understand the sad face he must have had when he texted this: "Roy the fish my friend im very sory lolong no lucky. tomorow i play jhon mora again. sory score 15-12 no lucky lolong. luv u"...

Well, I'm not spending much time in the poolhalls, in fact I didn't even bring my own cue this time. I don't play pool anymore, even though I just played Lolong a cheap set for 1000 pesos with a housecue :) Not much to tell about talents. To be honest, things have changed, dramatically it seems...

Carlo Biado (phi) for sure

$ 1000 = 42 600 PESOS Hotel 100 yards from One Side cost 1000-5000 pesos a night, depending on standard Beer at One Side cost 65 pesos, pizza at pizza hut 235 pesos and burger at fridays for 250 pesos. You can eat and drink cheaper at non-international places. Waitress-salary is app 7-8000...

He is in Manila again. On my last trips here I have seen him in more action than anyone, only local hero Lolong is in more action. (Lolong, the guy with more wifes than teeth) Lolong is now giving a whale 5-6-7-8-9-10 race to 17 for lots of pesos. He is up 45 000 so far, winning 17-2 and 17-8...
