Hey guys there are tons of great pool players out there. Some are good people and some are just good players. ( i.e. Earl...someone who is excellent at the game but seems like a horrible person in every other aspect of life.)Who would you say in the pool world is the best role model outside of pool. I have heard of players gambling all the time, losing every last cent. Who has their stuff together the best??

Why would you say that Earl "seems like a horrible person in every other aspect of life"? That is a very irresponsible thing to say on a public forum and I challenge you to provide any facts that might back this up. While you may have seen him lose his cool during a match, that is a far cry from the defamation post you just made. WTF?
If you mean professionalism around the table and off, I'd Ralf Souquet certainly comes to mind, Jasmin Ouschan on the ladies side, Neils Feijen would be another.
Just my 2 cents.
Shane Van Boening. Class act.

Gotta go with Efren, although the others are good choices.
All the above are good choices. I would only add Oscar Dominguez to the list. He gambles with class like a true sportsman and he is honorable in business and is a good family man as well. Hard to top that.
Bobby Hunter was another old school guy who was always classy in how he handled himself both on and off the table. Two others in the Pool world worth a mention are Pat Fleming and Mark Wilson, both who garner nothing but respect wherever they go.

For the record, I've hung out with Earl a few times, and taken some lessons. He's a pretty nice guy in those situations. He always says a friendly hello to me, asks how my game is doing, tells me interesting pool things. I'm not defending all of his actions in pool matches, but he's a good guy off the table. He's also an excellent teacher. I advise against judging someone you have not spent any time with personally. I mean, maybe you have and your experience differs than mine. But if you haven't, you're really saying some crappy things that you don't have enough info to say.
