    I skipped most of my History -classes, but if I remember it correctly, 'Americans' came to America from Europe. If we go little bit further, we all originate from central Africa. Even the REAL 'americans'...

    Ortmann-Hall of Fame

    Good points here. I would add that Ralph hasn't won an EuroTour event since late 2003, and Oliver since mid 2004. Ralf and Oliver have both had 22 tries since last trophy, as Ralf have missed two events cos of KOTH 2005 and Mosconi Cup 2006. Mika hasn't won since -95, Thorsten has won it...

    "All Around" Player without One Pocket?

    Thank's Teddy and Jay! About history and achievements I already knew some, but this was what I was interested for. The description about his game was nice to hear, as for some reason I have been very interested about this Old Master, and the description of his game sounds quite similar as the...

    Are they still paying?

    Howdy! No, I don't have any legal representation, I don't know much about these kind of things.. Only thing which sounds wise when having as less knowledge as I do, but trying to use common sense, would be some sort of 'group lawsuit'.

    Best player never to have won a major

    I do respect the tournament a lot. To win it, is for sure a hard task. Still, the format and the prize money don't give it the status of a Major, IMHO. To win the WPC, it is whole different story (especially after 1999, when Matchroom gathered the top pros to a OFFICIAL World Championships...

    Best player never to have won a major

    He has, but it is a 8 players field.. First, we should all agree what is a 'Major'. Even to win a 'World Championships', can be misleading, as from 93 to 96 there were two different 'World Champioships', also at 1999...

    Best player never to have won a major

    Busty, hands down, Parica coming at second maybe. Then again, I wouldn't consider Derby 9-ball as a Major, probably not even BCA, eventhough it is already close. It is hard to determin 'Major'. Sometimes I feel only 9-ball WPC and 9-ball US-Opens are majors from the annual event calendar...

    Uhh.. I hope she's classier than that, and I do believe also so.

    "All Around" Player without One Pocket?

    BTW, Jay, how good Wimpy was in 9-ball, REALLY, if ALL the nostalgic gold sparkle glazing left aside? Compared to 80's and then modern top pros?

    Hi JAM! I hope you didn't get a picture that I'm a purist, who want's pool to be played in a church-like setting :p I'm always trying to find the Middle Path in everything. IPT was a good step (or would have been), not only bcos of the prize money, but the dress codes and stuff. Still, it...

    I hope I'm not sounding too 'judging' anyway, but I'm not talking about the facial expressions alone either. Of course they matter also, but I know what you mean. I have experienced the same kind of stuff, especially earlier. Now, I've got maybe 25kg more, so I look more relaxed :D :D :D But...

    Ortmann-Hall of Fame

    That's a good point. I'm sure they played bad cos they were tired. It shows Oliver's capasity to pull the win in the end. IMHO, it is never a very good reason to disrispect someones win, if the opponent played badly. Many times the game goes in that kind of way, bcos of the exitment in the...

    ...he also helped me without any rewards, when I asked if he new any tricks to straighten a shaft + the pool room owner gave him a lot of credit when he was invited to a tournament with other top pros. The owner said Oliver was by far the easiest and most reliable of those (other were not...
