I'm sure Dennis had permission to call out Shane but it was Dennis who did the barking , and I already posted Shane's responseJust like French did the barking not Dennis. French even barked at Appleton

I do. I think that the IRS has enough to do without sifting through posts looking for targets.
Unless they have a reason to investigate a person I doubt that they randomly go through the millions of forums looking for tax evaders.
Wrong Shane's first response was he's not playing he will just keep thumping Dennis in tournaments ,, it was not till after Mars spoke up , that Shane changed his tone

They used to, but the CTE and the PSR spooked them.
They're too busy scanning the poker forums.
There is no money here worth their time.
Agree about here not being worth the time. Doubt they are scanning poker forums though.
and one could be bored watching it for 100 plus games!
+1 Good analysisDennis breaks better than Efren ever did. Efren never had a reliable break and his results suffered because of it.
That is the "only" think Dennis does better than Efren in his prime.
No one in the history of the game has been better than Efren after the break in rotation pool. In his prime Efren post break was ridiculously good in virtually every aspect of the game. He potted balls phenomenally well, he played pinpoint shape, he was more inventive on "creating" outs then anyone, he had a insanely strong safety game, and his kicking ability and return safety game was far beyond anyone before or since.
There are few players that I would say had "anything" on Efren post break in 9-ball and 10-ball. Strickland and Busty I do think had a little more of a power game, if you needed to put an insane table length draw shot with accuracy out there I would say no one has every really compared to Strickland in his prime in that regard, that type of shot and a superior break really showed in the Color of Money match when Strickland basically overpowered Efren in the first two days. If you watch that match the power game of Strickland on day 1 and 2 was nuts, he shot shots that no one dreams of shooting, and made them and turned what should have been a table turnover into another 3 or 4 pack. Efren fought hard and basically made every chance he got at the table count, but his inconsistent break kept letting Strickland get back at the table and put another package on him.
I do not think "anyone" had anything on Efren post break. In the time that Yang was an absolute monster money player and eviscerated Dennis, who at that time was a pure ultra confident gambler as good if not better than he is now due to his killer instinct and confidence, Efren was still quite young and still shooting at nearly his top level. At that time Efren had an open offer to "anyone" in the world to play him a huge match for huge money under one condition, Busty breaks for him.
Efren knew his weakness, and he knew with Busty's break he would be unbeatable. Everyone else knew that as well, no one was nuts enough to want any piece of Efren in his prime with Bustamante's break. Not even Yang, who "might" have actually had a chance in that match because in his prime he broke even better than Bustamante and had insane offensive runout power and one thing over Efren, the best talent to shoot a jump shot pool has ever seen. Yang was a freak back then though, as a total package with that break, his shooting ability, jumping talent, ect... there has never been another player who has shot rotation pool at "that" level. Not SVB, not Ko, not Wu, not Efren, no one has ever played the complete game as well as Yang in his prime. In his prime Yang would have tortured them all in long sets, and it would not even be close.
Ever heard of gamesmanship. Just because someone declines the first offer doesn't mean they don't have a plan.
Who cares.....I like John Mars AND Shane's style. Get's barked at to play for 20 and come over the top for 50 large!

I'm sure Dennis had permission to call out Shane but it was Dennis who did the barking , and I already posted Shane's response
Mars posted he called French and worked out the game and then posted what the game was , it was after that Shane's decided to bark but his FB post says he barked back a counter offer , which simply did not happen

Well fans, me and Dennis orcullo will be playing a big match. In the past few months, me and Dennis had a bad blood. Few days ago, Dennis called me out and saying that I can't win. I called him out to play on the 5x10 for 100k. He declined to play on 5x10. I talked to my friends and I decided to play him on the 9ft for 50k. I'm going to start being hungry and prepared for this match. No disrespect to Dennis, I think your good player, we had bad times on the table and understand we all hate to lose but I'm going to whoop your ass!! Looking forward to the event in couple months. I will keep you all posted on the final dates. Event will be at the carom room in Beloit, Wisconsin. Thanks to Dave Coles for hosting the event in Beloit. And of course it will be on stream!

It is sad that there is bad blood between both of them. Sounds like serious bad blood and they are not hamming it up for cameras
1 year ago, Shane and Dennis were like buddies playing in that MP Cup in Phillippines. Maybe it went wrong and started going downhill after they lost to a Filipino teen pair (1 boy and 1 girl) . Must be laying blame on each other that led to deterioration of their relationship
:grin:

Then you must have liked Lou's style when he showed up with 30 k to lay down instead of 10
I don't care either way just pointing out he didn't bark back till after John set the match I have seen and been involved in matches where I or the player didn't know the game till after it was agreed upon with the stake horses

Maybe Dennis didn't like getting dumped for Shane's new partner MD

Are there any videos of Yang in his prime? I'd like to see.
