No he is not
Who would you say is favored over him to make larger runs?
A fine question.
Winning the US Open 9 ball doesn’t make you an elite player. I might as well give up. Lol

I would bet on Filler, Melling, Orcullo and whoever is the SP king in Taiwan.
Wow what focus he has . That's grinding it out . Good luck John and way to show pool players how hard work pays off
How many 400-ball runs do those players have?
John understands the game the same way a 1pckt player understands that game.
He is a dog playing the top 200 players in the world 9/10 ball, but his understanding of the game makes him a favorite over all of them in straight pool - this is the one thing Fargorate cannot compensate for.
If JS wants to play every player from the top 300 fr straight pool, I'll take him every match but we have to bet them all.
Jason<-----will do $5,000/match but you must bet them all.

Oh no your math is correct. However saying you will bet 5K per match but someone would have to bet on all the matches with JS against the top 300 players in straight pool in order to do it is a ridiculous statement. No one here will take that and making all three hundred matches happen is impossible. It probably sounded good to him when he typed it out though:grin:

a lot of top speed players don't try high runs except for at the dcc. i think hohmann usually stops at 200
so it's hard to tell if they are more qualified for or likely to beat the record than js. i would guess some of them are
kudos to john for giving it a go though, i think it's admirable

Sorry to criticize the stream yesterday.
Cheers to bullshooters and john and
Everyone involved. I just feel such an
Historic moment should have an
Excellent HD record, much like his
Recent run @434 on 3dec2018
But didn’t he grab the cueball as it
Went into the pocket? Isn’t that a foul?
Go john! You will fulfill this quest.
And it’ll turn out to be like the rocket
Ronnie O’Sullivan @1000 centuries.
The first person to break the barrier
Is a genius, and then many people will
Do it eventually!

This is why pro’s don’t get on here.. lol douche bags like this say someone isn’t a top player who has ran over 400 balls multiple times and I don’t even know how many titles. What have you won? Can you even run 50 balls playing straights?
John is a hell of a nice guy and I wish him the best. I hope he takes it down this time.
How much straight pool have they played compared to John? They all have more 200+ ball runs per attempt than him IMO.You can probably throw Alex in there also who beat John 2 nights in a row to 3 or400 when John was in his prime. JMHO.

John doesn’t play 14.1 as much as you think
I’ve wrote this a few times before.... but from the 60’s through the 70’s and into the 80’s straight pool was still played by all the pros extensively. I’d be very surprised if they all didn’t go for high runs in practice on a semi regular basis. The closest in the modern era is Engert's 491 or so. Then we have Strickland and I believe Hopkins both in the low 400's. Sigel was in the 300's. And a bunch of other pros are in the 300's. The owner of my local room, Bob Maidoff, ran his lifetime high of 330 something about 5 years ago, well into his 50's. And he was practicing straight pool every day for decades. I guess its one of those things that even for top players (Sigel level), its a once in lifetime thing to get over 300 or 400. Now we have Schmidt who has done it 4 times, and knocking on the door again.

Really, You know what i think? I've seen him play in person MANY times starting in 2004 or so when he came thru Florida (with his mentor BOBBY HUNTER -straight pool World Champ) as 'JJ' changing hair colors every few weeks til he couldnt get away with it anymore. He practices by playing SP and it is the game he prefers. He may not play ANY game much anymore but i guarantee he has 5 times the amount of hours playing SP as the players i listed COMBINED,
I also know he has quit 3 tournament matches before the outcome was determined, (no NOT in the last rack) including once in the World Pool Championship Vs Marcus Chamat when MC pulled a real low life move (I forget the specifics) but remember i may have quit also.I know him or of him well-have had him in Calcuttas etc so save it.
