Best Money Player

[gpeezy]

this kinda turns into "whos the best player in the world". the best player in the world gambles i assure you

I've been waiting to see how you'd answer that. I agree. I think Dennis has all the talent in the world but doesn't have the character to put it to good use. If he put the effort into pool that all the Filipino's have, he might be unbeatable, but that's not likely to change.

i think dennis orcullo is the best player
but his break lets him down.
just off of playing the game he is the best.
well i think he is

He is, until they bring Yang around. If you ever see this guy play for the cheese, you'll be a believer too. He gets out from no where! I've seen him run racks where every other pool player on the planet would be looking to play safe. As you well know, that kind of stuff will affect your psyche if you are his opponent.

Whitewolf, you're showing your ignorance. They don't publish lists of "money games" for good reason. Just because you weren't there doesn't mean Jose didn't beat a lot of people for the money! And Buddy Hall?? You believe that he was not one of the top nine-ball players???? You're really out of the loop!

I'm not taking anything away from Cole Dickson, but he never was a TOP player. He gambled pretty well and intimidated some of his opponents, some from great play and other by using a tush hog technique. He was a very hard guy to play, because if you got him down, he'd turn into a real asshole quick. He was certainly capable of beating anyone on good day, most all pros are, but he wasn't in a class with Jose, Efren, Buddy, or Earl! He just wasn't, he was more of a Louie Roberts speed player without the good personality! Sorry, but that's just the way it was.

The title of the thread was who is/was the top money player, not who was one of the best. I do think Buddy Hall was one of the best, but not the best. You know that Buddy refused a challenge from Cole Dickson, right? Or are you just as ignorant as I am?

Of course I know that they don't publish gambling winnings. I am asking someone to step forward and gives us the FACTS about who Jose Parica beat. Obviously you can't - except spout rumors. But we are all guilty of that to a large degree. So, where's the beef?!
