John Schmidt is a lot closer to being broke behind a Walgreens than most people realize...
Nonsense...they are always hiring cashiers there.

Woot woot! I’ll play you some hundred sets to 125 and some one pocket too
You been watching like an eagle
I think it’s best to get this back to the original subject about the so called 626 run.Jazzy I assure you that I would heist you if we played anything. Texas carom thanks for knocking my action. At least you only gave him a link to a small high run.
I am 66 years old and I have locals who think I can't play anymore and wants to bet a 100. I told them I wouldn't get out of my chair for less than 500 and I am just a ball banger. To ask somebody who claims to run 311 to play for 100 is a joke. I am still laughing.
Just curious, what does Charlie (Williams I assume) have to do with John Schmidt’s 626 run?
Ummm.... It's possible he meant Charlie McCarthy. It would fit in with some other themes.Just curious, what does Charlie (Williams I assume) have to do with John Schmidt’s 626 run?
...Can anyone name 1 tournament or event that uses 760 Simonis anywhere?
The unintended consequence of this thread is Schmidt's run is being kept in the news.

Yeah, it's really up there in the news now.
I think it is knocking the impeachment off the air at MSNBC, CNN, ABC, and the rest.
Seems apparent that "Impeachment" in the commonplace courtroom sense (testimony dilution) was obviously the precise intention for the OP starting this thread.I think it is knocking the impeachment off the air at MSNBC, CNN, ABC, and the rest.
I don't play 14-1 but I think this is accurate.
The first rack only has 14 balls. Every rack after has 14 too. One ball left over from the previous rack + the 14 in the rack - the one you leave.
Although John may have the record now, I think Willie's accomplishment will always be more monumental for the reasons you laid out in this post. Unless of course John does it again and in a more similar manner as Willie.
Excellent post.
Good point, nobody who isn't at least a 250 ball runner could possibly do a basic math problem.If u no play 14.1 - i really am not interested in your input (playing 14.1 on phone i.e. video game - does not count). I should have stated this before. Thanks for the honest thoughts.
Danny as I said before who goes through all the non sense of recording their practice. I certainly have nothing to prove and don't need to profit from anything. I did record a few runs soon after because people requested. It was very loud and with a lot of distractions at Hardtimes where I put 2 Diamond tables in.I do have a 229 I still need to upload and when I find it I will put in on youtube. It would be nice to have Cranfields 768 on video but they didn't have much video or youtube back then. BTW Cranfield holds the highest run. Why would Schmidts so called legit run be considered different that Cranfields? Same thing no opponent and no tickets sold at the front door. Cranfields would have been much harder with out setting up perfect conditions and just during a practice session.
Although John may have the record now,
Excellent post.
I also watched the 4+ hours of unedited video with voice over. In all honesty, I was concerned that it might actually feel like watching paint dry... but in the end, I have to tell you... with John, and some of his friends describing what you are watching, as you are watching it... the time flew by, and it was entertaining! Listen, while the first few racks to set the mood, followed by watching 527 sink, and then 627 miss, might actually be enough to watch, there is something to be said about watching the entirety of the feat... which was vetted as genuine by the BCA. I don't know about you, but pool has enough negativity from the outside... from those that don't understand the pure joy that our game offers... from those that still shout:
Trouble, oh we got trouble,
Right here in River City!
With a capital "T"
That rhymes with "P"
And that stands for POOL!
Look, I don't know the op, nor am I trying to stir the pot. Furthermore, I'm all for freedom of speech, and am using my right to comment... but I have to question the initial drive for this posted topic. And while it has been entertaining to read, it seems best defined by a definition I found on dictionary.com:
jealousy [ jel-uh-see ]
noun, plural jeal·ous·ies
1. jealous resentment against a rival, a person enjoying success or advantage, etc., or against another's success or advantage itself.
2. mental uneasiness from suspicion or fear of rivalry, unfaithfulness, etc., as in love or aims.
3. vigilance in maintaining or guarding something.
4. a jealous feeling, disposition, state, or mood.
p.s. I find some irony in definition #2... as it pertains to "aims"
