Daulton vs Chohan tonite $$$$$$

[cad1illac]

Tony beat someone in a race to 3 at one pocket in like 10 minutes at on of the Hard Times (Sacramento) jamboree events. He is definately scary when he's on. He's young as hell,too.

I just learned pool at the same time Shannon came on the scene and was a one pocket phenom. He'll always be a champ to me. I'd die a happy man winning just one of the Legends events, much less 3 or 4.

I don't think Tony will be challenging SD to an all round with banks, 1-P, and one pocket any time soon. Shannon is one the best all-round players of the last 20 years.

Your wrong......They were supposed to play those games in a TAR match at DC but it fell through. Obviously someone didn't come up with the money. 10K. Most people had this as a 'pickem'. Maybe JCIN can chime in and correct me if I'm wrong. Everyone, and I mean everyone was very excited to see this monster game.

I agree 100%! I have known SD for 20 years. He hasn't been in action. Let SD stay in steady action for two or three weeks.It would be a different outcome. IMO

Two or three weeks for SD will make no difference unless it's a long set. Tonys just too explosive. And I mean loooonnnnngggg. With SD not playing consistently I'm surprised he would take Tony on like this. He must have felt he was playing pretty well. Tony has been chasing a lot of action the last year, who else would go to Alaska for action.

I heard Chohan shot multiple low percentage shots, fired the balls into the stack. Instead of selling out he made several miracle shots and ran out. This was a tripple shimmed Diamond. I relate it to my poker game. He was on a draw everytime and HIT! Good shootn to Chohan. They are suppose to play again tomorrow.

They were supposed to play an all around of 1 hole, banks, and 10 ball. Shannon said he heard that Tony didnt have the money, which was far from reality, and his stakehorse left. Tony wanted to up it at least another 5 dimes and was ready to post. In the end it was our fault for not having no show money posted. Won't happen again.

Tony is a monster and when he is in gear can beat anyone on earth at 1 hole or banks. If they play banks I like Tony. Being in action all the time is a huge advantage IMO and Shannon just doesn't do it like he used to.

Thanks for the clarification.............and all of TARs hard work!!!!!!

T-Rex is a rapidly rising star in the pool universe. And he can play ALL games! He is just now starting to play the tournament scene regularly. A major league player and a threat to beat anyone at One Hole right now. I include Cliff and Scott on that list.

Shannon may be a bit rusty, while Tony has been chasing action for a year or more. Shannon has been pre-occupied establishing his Great Southern pool tour.

That says it all right there.

When I first met Tony Chohan, he was with his cousin, Amar Kang, at the 2002 U.S. Open. Tony and Amar, who I call "Omar," had no fear and wanted to play anybody, any game, anywhere, for any amount of money. LOL!

At that time, Tony's best game was one-pocket. He sure has come a long way since that time. It's nice to read about him making a score, even though it had to be dear Shannon, but you're right, Jay. Tony is banging balls 24/7, and Shannon is most likely not playing as often as Tony, which can make all the difference in the world.

If Shannon was hitting 'em regularly, I'm not so sure Tony has to like it in one-pocket! Shannon is a hell of a bank mechanic.

I knew them both when they were teenagers during the mid 1990's, when I lived on the Left Coast. As I recall, they both came from wealthy families. If that's so, then that explains why neither one of them ever got rattled about the cheese. Tony seems to always play loose-- never being concerned about the high stakes. That's the mark of a great money player, a la Cornbread Red and Keith McCready.

Reportedly Amar got into some scrapes involving booze, and then got into poker for awhile. I hope he's got back into pool by now. Great talent. Tony is a bona fide rising hot star. A few knowledgeable west coast players have compared him to the young Ronnie Allen.

As another poster mentioned, I'm surprised Shannon stepped into the box with a red hot T-rex at this time. Shannon is one of the all time greats; but because he's been out of one-pocket action for awhile, he's got to be rusty.

...Reportedly Amar got into some scrapes involving booze, and then got into poker for awhile. I hope he's got back into pool by now. Great talent. Tony is a bona fide rising hot star. A few knowledgeable west coast players have compared him to the young Ronnie Allen....

One year after the U.S. Open -- I can't remember which year -- Amar Kang came to the D.C. area and hung out for a while, getting in action at the local pool rooms. He made some cheese, a few friends, and went back home to California.

There's a pool room in Lanham, Maryland, which I heard recently is closed now, but it was in a rough neighborhood, for lack of a better word. Once you got inside the joint, everybody got along.

One of the locals from this pool room called up Amar and promised him 2 dimes to come to Maryland, win or lose, and play somebody. In other words, he told Amar if he flew to Maryland, he'd be given $2,000 as soon as he got off the plane, and then he was going to be staked to play whoever. It sounded like a good deal to Amar.

Amar flew to D.C., but when he hooked up with the person who promised to pay him the 2 dimes, the person told him things changed and that he wasn't going to give him the monies. Amar mouthed off to this local from Lanham, MD, as he was pretty pissed off.

That weekend, there was a local regional tournament, and Amar came to play in it before returning home, empty-pocketed. Apparently, the local who stiffed Amar threatened him, after Amar cussed him out, in a way that scared Amar to death.

At that tournamet, Amar said to Keith that he's done with pool. He was flying back home and never wanted to play again. In fact, he sold Keith his cue stick at that tournament, a beautiful custom-made Bobby Hunter!

Oh, if that Bobby Hunter cue stick could talk. I'm telling you, it sure would have a few good stories. Keith did come in third at the U.S. Open in 2003 with that Bobby Hunter!

This experience in the D.C. area really soured Amar to pool. I'm not sure what was said to Amar when he was threatened, but he ain't been back to the Right Coast since.

He can go behind the log and play a conservative game if he has to, but when it is working he takes advantage of it and always has balls going towards his hole. I have been watching / playing one pocket for 50+ years and when he is rolling it is the closest thing to Ronnie's old game you will ever see and Tony is a better shotmaker. I have seen Shannon play & played him when he was a kid & I'll agree his all around game is very sound and fundamentally better than Tony's, but nobody can fade Tony's game when he is rolling at top speed.

with all this new found cash-ish has there been a bit of rain in Ohatchee

 

[Thunderball]

Anyone know what time this is set to go off?

Also,how is Chohan pronounced?I can think of at least three ways it might be said and I'm not famliar with him.I may make a call or two to some folks who might like to be on the rail for the rematch.

Also,if they are on the table I'm thinking of,its an absolute BEAST.It gives up nothing.Anybody playing run out 1 hole on that thing must be a freakin monster imo.

CHO with a long O and HAN with a soft A, just like that.

CHO rhymes with GO, and HAN rhymes with GONE.

I bet that the next bet we make I win? want to have and extrs $100 on that?, and then when we find something we both like, this will be our side bet, on that bet. Fair enough? no rush something will come up. I like the lakers tonight-for example.
