In my books Not only is Alex my favorite pool player, for me he is the best pool player out there. Whether he won or loss this tournament. He is the only pool player that will play and gamble anyone in any type of pool game. And that's a fact. What you guys saw this weekend at the US open is just a mere glimpse of "The Lion's" Greatness.....

I have to agree with you. I, too, believe he's one of the most talented pocket billiard players on the face of the planet, bar none.![]()

Yeah, he might have won a few tournaments at 9-ball, 10-ball, 8-ball, 1-pocket, short rack banks, and snooker.
...and he might be a world class poker player....and he might have beaten
'Bata' at chess....and he might be able to do a standing broad jump about
4 feet farther than you think possible........
....but he's never won a 3-cushion tournament
...and who did he ever beat at backgammon?
Alex playing backgammon 'chouette'.....he cubes the guy in the box....He plays backgammon and has won. Saw this at DCC one year.
Players like Alex that are multi-faceted can play all games and adapt quickly.
Some players have expertise in only one pocket billiard game, and that's all they can do well.
Alex can play all games, I think, with talent. I'll bet he could play 3-cushion if he ever set his mind to it. This is a very popular game in the ASEAN region of the world, so he may already have played it for all we know.![]()
