Corey Deuel still good? Fargorate
- Thread starter poolscholar
- Start date
Lol oh really? Tell me more
He in no way said he’s better than Corey .. hes asking a legit question. No Corey duel isn’t playing is best anymore.. No he’s not beating the best players in the world at this point. When have you seen him any where near a matchroom final day. It’s a legit question that how accurate is your Fargo if your game is falling off either from age or just lack of competitive play. That doesn’t mean I think you , me or any of the rest of us knuckleheads on here can beat him lol we are comparing his Fargo to the best in the world. Not to amateurs on a pool forum. By your silly post a commentator shouldn’t question anything a player does because he doesn’t have a high Fargo and thats just dumb
Race to 1?
You're getting bent out of shape because someone wants to talk about Corey Deuel's skill level. Do you think that subject should be off limits?
Yup race to 1! I can't play pool at all
Did we find Corey’s best friend?
I'm sure his game isn't what it was years ago, but he still plays well. He just got back from world games so could be jet lag. He doesn't seem to take it too seriously anymore. I think it's been years since I've even seen him play two events in a row with the same cue. He normally sells it after the event and has Meucci drop ship another to the next event...or borrows one from a local. He had a FB post last week about trading his cue for a non-stop flight home....lolJust watched him get smoked at the us open. He tried a jump shot and didn't even hit airborne. His fargorate is 773... What if he's actually a 730 or 40 now...then I wondered
How long will it take fargorate to accurately reflect how he's playing now, given that's he's older and less active? What if he stops playing? is he forever at 773? Seems odd
A golf handicap uses the most recent 20 rounds but I think fargorate goes back years. I'd be curious to see the biggest drop in rating from a pro with a long history
It's like reverse sandbagging, forever stuck in his glory days, sorry Corey
Do previous champions still get free entry to US open? I'm guessing they do, or guys like him, Earl and Rodney probably wouldn't be there.
Probably not fair to compare handicapping pool to golf. No one ever ran a 5 pack in golf and kept you in your chair for 30 minutes or simply ran out the set.
My point being is that golf handicaps are based on recent history. Fargorate is not. I'm not saying to use golf handicapping for poolI'm sure his game isn't what it was years ago, but he still plays well. He just got back from world games so could be jet lag. He doesn't seem to take it too seriously anymore. I think it's been years since I've even seen him play two events in a row with the same cue.

Fair enough. I just think in golf you can use recent history because everyone gets to tee off from the same spot and hit the ball until it goes in the cup. Your golf handicap is 100% based off of your individual performance.
In pool that is not always the case, so a longer time frame will likely give a more accurate assessment.
Have your read anymore of the OP's stuff on this forum?
The lag should be one table length.
Dr Dave needs to do some real science.

If I really gave a shit to look there is probably much more. The guy imo is a f'n troll plain and simple.
Your above response is just silly & dumb from a complete lack of understanding where I was coming from.
Welcome to iggy land.
Bent no, showing a realistic viewpoint about an armchair quarterback who thinks he knows better than all yes.
Performance still shows in pool in short term. Deuel lost badly relative to his expected skill and his opponents skill. It's how you use that information to adjust a rating.
If you assume players don't get better or worse or weight the past too heavily, then established ratings will barely move for players like Deuel. Most amateurs probably get to a certain level and rarely change. But we all do get old and usually less active as we age
F Corey
, but imo he deserves better than being roasted in that manner by the OP.Corey is a funny, smart guy. He'd agreed he's dropped a notch and wouldn't take offense like all the sensitive people on this forum lolF Corey
Pretty much every competitive athlete does as the years pass.
Are you implying Corey has gotten worse? Oh my goodness. Maybe you should try him some and see how you like it.
I wouldn’t at all be afraid to try him or you playing bar box 8 ball - bring it on!!Are you implying Corey has gotten worse? Oh my goodness. Maybe you should try him some and see how you like it.
Should be able to beat him now then. Bet it up!I played Corey once in vegas and lost hill hill
