He came into my homeroom the other day, screwed his cue together (gorgeous fancy SW) and ran 210 on my hapless friend, who didn't know who he was.

It was almost a perfect run, barely any reaches and every end game pattern and break-shot was perfect. The run ended on a skid, which would've devastated most people but Karl apparently runs centuries at a whim. Last time he stopped by he posted a 151, and the time before a 102...and he makes it look sooooo easy.

-Roger (puts my 64 to shame)
 
Yeah -Karl broke, the kid played safe and Karl ran the 200+.

The kid was alll optimistic "Yeah Ill play some straight pool" with a smile. I turned to Roger and said "no you won't".

Anyway it was a beautiful run with the clusters being broken up so perfectly.

Is this Karl Sloezen? If so, please congratulate him on a nice run and say hi from me. I haven't seen him in awhile.

Thanks,

Yep-That is him.

He still has the room in ... Bergen?

and he ventures into Rockland County now and then.

Will pass along your congrats if i see him anytime soon-so will Roger who probably will see him before me.

"WOW" That is great. How long did it take him to run that many? :)
 
Seems to me it couldnt have been much too more than an hour. Maybe Roger has better idea.
 
I wish i can do a casual 50+ run every one out ten tries, then I will be happy enough

Yeah me too...it's absolutely disgusting the talent he has.

BTW-Despite Karl's straight pool prowess and the fact that he lives in the NY Metro area, he has not been invited to the World Championships to be played here in May.

This is true. I PM'ed Randy (NYC cue dude) about this just now and I'm waiting to see what he says.

Karl definitely deserves an invite. The other day he ran two over 100 in 4 tries...he is certainly world class.
