He was the top dog back in the Philippines and Efren was the second guy. If there is one match that defines a player for Efren it was the televised showdown between him and Jose for the glory. Efren won that showdown and never looked back. However, Jose is still ahead in head-to-head match-up...

Hmm, that is only assuming Filipino carambole and balkline players in the 60's and 70's as sub-par players. "My best game is 15-ball rotation. After that comes carom (balkline). My weakest game is 9-ball." --Efren Reyes. I wouldn't bet against him even if he has no championship title in balkline.

I thought the pool league started by the GI's can be traced back to 1954.

Effie's standard appearance fee is 1K. Based on Ted Lerner's article. Effie been paid(cheaper) a long time just to play or appear in any of Angeles City's leagues (Pampanga, Phils.).

No because Silver_Wombat had taken that title a long time ago.

Wayne Gretzky Dan Marino/Bret Favre

If I remembered it correctly in one of Effie's interviews, he said he stopped playing carom and balk line because no one wanted to play him anymore. Thus, his entry to the world of 9-ball.

Why don't you guys go there earlier and join the Manny Pacquiao Open? I think it's about 10K for the first place finish.

LOL, I think once you showed her that it can be derailed, it will be done again. So I predict that you will be sleeping on the couch after US Open next year for going against her will. Har-har-har

I know it's OK to intentionally scratch, but what most people don't see is the stupidity that can result with that intentional scratch and kitchen, 2 players having a scratching contest specially at the later part of the match. In a bar where other players are waiting just to shoot some pool...

you're happy place is bound to be cut off if you do that. :)

Well, I'm not really what you call a better player, (maybe the better player), but I'm usually the one that will kick and bank just to get things over with. I wouldn't do safe because he will just knock the cue ball back to the pocket specially when you are also not in a good shape from the...

When you are just having a nice night in your local bar with 1 or 2 pool tables, from time to time you will find someone who will intentionally scratch without even trying to hit an object ball but just hitting the cue ball to the pocket. It's bound to ruin your night. I know you can just be as...

TOTAL LIABILITIES AND NET ASSETS $ 3,564,144 $ 3,397,705 Mr Helfert, You are correct. BCA got money. Which begs the question, why can't they send . . . Oh nevermind, probably the point is lost among the numbers.

Oh, the controversial "Brunei Beauties," it was an international affair.

If those two buddies wanna play and not get laid for six months, let them. :D It's their lives. They probably have other motivation than getting better.

This might turn to another meaningless Physics rantings, but billbOK suggestion of using a lighter break cue than playing cue makes sense as you can accelerate a lighter break cue better. Just make sure you have a firm grip on the cue.

I think I'm gonna bash Joe for not believing the moon landing. :D

I hope not because this brings notoriety to the game. How do I put this; - When gambling is done by the elite by stakehorsing, it adds prestige to the game. - When gambling is done among people who should have been saving their money for something else, the game suffers.
