That would be surprising if Varner beat svb. I know he has better tactical knowledge but Shane has gotten pretty good at one pocket

Don't think Nick plays much anymore. He'd probably need all of that spot.

Nick sets up at events, I just saw him at the last VNEA tournament here. He had a booth with his cues, he still plays but not competitively...or so I think

I think he was talking about the Russian player beating SVB.

Yeah, it was a bit of a left field post. I responded to that question in the thread he started about it.

Old people and the internet...i am one too. Look out, kids!

I would thing Nick could be competitive at 9/10b. Anybody agree? Tony can't give him any weight, can't be.

1p, I thing 10-7ish, but you gotta make tony go to 12...shit, so 12-8/ 9-7?

Betting other people's money is so easy! Who knew?

14.1- I like Nick. 8b too.

You can't compare people of different eras really. Nick is a great well rounded champion from an earlier time-frame than Tony. Having said that I think Tony's one-pocket game is at a higher level than Nick achieved in almost all respects including having gamble.

Nick rarely plays anymore as what's left for him to win. He is the only player ever to win a world Championship in 5 different games of pool. Having been around and traveled with Nick many times there aren't to many players that have as much Knowledge in any form of pool as him. All that being said Tony is without much doubt in my mind in the top 5 players in the world at one pocket and the top 3 players in high stakes games. Rotation games would be closer to compare and playing banks might be close also. 8 ball would be close but I think Nick could win. If 14.1 is being considered Tony can get his suitcase full of money out and get action.

I wasn't comparing people of different eras

I would like to bet on nick if he gets a decent handicap,if he likes it
I like it. 8to 6 if he has been playing more if he hasn't

I think it would attract video interest and would be good for the game of pool

It would be funny to watch Tony work through the wedge after Nick put 13 balls up at the top rail.

I could also give Tony some weight. He’d still beat me down without mercy, but I could still give it to him.

Why dont you quit wanting to bet on games and instead back them?
