    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    Where did I say that I am the top male? I didn't. You are projecting. God forbid that there is a difference between the sexes.

    Pool is so far down the pecking order that it was not specifically mentioned, Golf was. It's the way it works in China. Had a friend of mine that is from mainland China confirm that's its true. The Nationalist Chinese subsidize pool too as far as I know. Siming Chen is from Mainland...

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    What we can garner from this fact is that woman in Los Angeles Ca. are not subsidized by the state. Women can't be compared equally if their environments were totally different. Are American woman gonna sacrifice, practice and have to work a day job all for a chance to win the paltry purses...

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    I think you might be the woman hater because you want women to have to compete for a limited amount of prize money with the top men. That's not doing the top woman players any favors. Saying Ms. Chen is subsidized by her nation does not mean that I am a chauvinist it merely is an observation...

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    In battle of the sexes match it's clearly Donny that is under greater pressure. Pressure as anyone knows makes one do things they don't usually do.

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    Maybe it's because most ladies are not supported by the state. Just a shot in the dark.

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    I think you are confused. Ever since I got into pool, almost 30 years ago I've heard how women in the future will be able to compete with the men. I brought up Derby City. Woman have earned very nominal amounts of money playing in that tournament. My point has always been that very few men...

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    Ms. Chen is the product of a system that has nothing in common with players in the West. Data is not Chauvinism. You seem to be confused. Did you think that the hockey team of the former Soviet Union were really amateurs like our US team at the time too? I think woman who play at the pro...

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    My point is that this series of matches does vindicate the Fargo Rating but has much less to do with the ongoing gender debate. We have gaping disparities in the environmental aspects of the players.

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    Being in the top twenty won't garner a very big payday and I would posit even begin to pay the expenses of competing at DC.

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    Irregardless of the Fargo Rating one must take into consideration that Ms. Chen is no free range player. In her country she has the support of the state in her career. Donny on the other hand is a working schlep. Now let's take a guy like Donny and suppose he never had to work a day in his...

    Los Angeles area players from the past

    Pete suffers from COPD and may be still alive. I used to keep in touch with him until he started smoking again. I played him many times back in the day. He was a man that would go crazy if you quit winners on him. The air in the old Hollywood Billiards, was like soup as folks smoked it up...

    New-ish pool room Denver.

    In Santa Monica on Friday and Sat nights after 7:00 its $16.50 an hour. That's a table rate and it don't matter if you are practicing by yourself. They did just recover all the tables though and they are playing well.
