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.
 
Dear Lord. Jimmy getting 10-5. Jimmy got on a tough game?
What has this world come to?
Thnx Frank.

So, anybody here going to watch the Efren/Austin match as part of the live
studio audience aside from myself?
 
Since it's a free broadcast:
Would it be possible for someone to record the match(es) for people in different timezones?

I'm a big poolfan myself but I doubt if my boss likes it if I had to make up for the hours sleep I missed out on ;).
 
The Don King of Pool

This is worse than boxing. At least they have a "ranking" system. If all KT is trying to do is get ratings, then what is next? Celebrity pool after dark? Pamela Anderson vs. Johnny Archer? or Britney vs. Earl?

Don't get me wrong folks, I have a lot of respect for Austin and of course Efren, but why is this important? Because someone dangled a carrot to make the boys dance? This is nothing more than an exibition and a payday.

I dont blame the players, or KT for that matter. I blame the whole pool community who has allowed this to happen.

We are seeing a legend play a kid who could be the next legend and you blame the pool community for that? I say the pool community was pretty damn smart IMO. Good to know you wont be watching, maybe the video and audio with this match will be better than the last with less watchers like you.

A great straight pool match and a young possible prodigy against the greatest pool player of all time. Sounds like a helluva deal to me.

that would be awesome a washed up has been who uses photo op gimics to stay famous.....playing Brittney Spears..........I would love to watch her bend over the table and pretend it was 2 kids ago...


wow a volatile personality kept barely level with pharmaceuticals and who snaps at the first opportunity... playing against Brittney Spears... that would be amazing..


Celebrity Boxing has nothing on this.....
