I'm not going to be able to watch Efren and Austin's match tomorrow due to prior commitments.
I have been watching Efren the last couple of days practicing rotation and matching up cheap one pocket. Yesterday at he Hard Times in LA he played Tang Ho 11 to 7 and Tang did come out ahead but it wasn't easy. Tang played very well.
Hawaiian Jimmy, one of the better one pocket players in Los Angeles, lost getting a 10 to 5 spot. It's hard to imagine how someone can run so many 10 and 11's so consistently, but he does. This man is truly amazing. However it appears to me that some of the magic is fading. Maybe in a few years he might come down to human level.
I hope tomorrows match would at least have some entertainment in it. I don't see how it could even be a match. But I would like to see the kid make a good showing. Good luck to Austin.
