We're at the U.S.Open two days early, so we go bar hopping in the Hispanic neighborhood looking for a game. Not much action, mostly two dollar pool. So I ask where the big games are played and get steered. Of course we go there, not knowing it's a hangout for outlaws and drug dealers. They...

Rafael and I have an interesting history together. I consider him a real friend, who I have much respect for. He never backed down from any challenge, on or off the table. Yes, I donated to his medical care and wish him the best.

It must be a CLEAN bank! That's the long and short of this, no pun intended.

Unfortunately this conversation is a moot point in the reality of the Mosconi Crap.....oops I mean Cup. The only real question is how big a slaughter will it be this year. It could get very ugly, like 11 zip! I'd much rather see the return of the World Cup, with all the two player teams...

I've done a lot of gambling/tournaments playing Banks. This type of banks was never accepted as okay, except by angle shooters.

Stu, you contradict yourself here in the first two responses above. Not sure why you are continuing to beat a dead horse. He declined the invite, and I don't feel his motivations for doing that need to be investigated. I agree that MR has made some mistakes, but this is not one of them. They...

Lukas belongs!

Maybe so. He appeared to have his mind made up well before the Philippine Open.

Sorry Stu, you missed the mark here. I had this very conversation with Thorsten during the Reyes Cup. Believe me he is sincere here. Thorsten is not a man easily influenced by others. He is very much his own man!

Thorsten is one class act! Always has been too.

Yeah, the ref was busy. The players should wait until he's ready. Right!! "Looking elsewhere?" That's my point! Why is he out there? To sight see?

My pet peeve is the poor officiating I often see in major tournaments. They are quite often out of position to make a call. They seem to be afraid to be in the players line of sight. Just stand still! Poorly trained is all I can say. The Pinoy officials are almost universally good.

62,000P, a lot of money there! You can rent a nice condo for 15-20,000P per month. Or a small house.

I tried to explain this on here days ago. There are literally dozens of Pinoy players like these guys (Chua excluded) who are not that well known internationally and play like solid 800 shooters. There is Fargo and there is acquired reputation there. If someone is Tier One in the PI you better...

I don't need the stress and spending hours trying to sort things out online or on the phone can be very stressful. No thanks! I can survive without AI.

I've flown across multiple time zones dozens of times (nine zones between the U.S. and the PI), and I've figured out the best way to overcome jet lag. Don't eat any meals during the flight! Liquids only. Maybe a small snack or energy bar is okay. Our body's digestion cycle is very important in...

My same issue with PP. They refused to review or accept the proof I offered, and it was impossible to reach a real human to discuss my claim. They firewalled me out completely. I used to do many transactions on PP but they lost me as a customer forever. As if they care!

Just under 50% of the players were Pinoy.

Better yet, start with a Dufferin house cue.

All four semifinalists are Pinoy! I rest my case! Am I allowed to say I told you so?
