This is too funny
I have beaten 1,2,3,4....13 IPTers altogether.
All the IPTers originally from Philly, living in Philly, or Philly area. Totaling 5
Two IPTers from NY.
One IPTer from NJ.
One IPTer from California via DC.
One IPTer from Russia
Two IPTers from the Philippines....(while they were hanging out in Philly)
One IPTer from God knows where......i think OHIO.
Some were over 10 years ago, Some were within the past month, but most of them fall around 4-5 years ago.

Thanks for the kind words, Steve. That 11 - 0 set (with three on the wire) is something I'll always remember, not just for the way I played, but for the positive feedback and good sportsmanship you offered me when it was over.
Of course, I've also taken some sound beatings from you over the green felt, but I've always enjoyed our games, and I'm glad that we've had so many opportunities to shoot pool over the years.
There was, of course, that one time that I stood you up, and the forum might enjoy the story. On a day on which neither of us was working, I invited you to shoot some straight pool with me at Amsterdam West in the afternoon. When you got there, however, I backed out of the game, asking you, instead, to shoot with one of two friends I had brought to the poolroom with me. You looked a little shocked when I related it.
So you were stuck playing Allison Fisher some nineball, when you could have been playing straight pool with me! Of course, I did pretty well, too, getting to shoot with my close friend Gerda Hofstatter all afternoon. Two days later, Allison won $25,000 at the Challenge of Champions at Mohegan Sun, so you must have really gotten her in stroke.
Thinking about that day when I tricked you always puts a smile on my face.

She is ranked 21-25 in the WPBA depending if you are going by money won or points earned. I believe she is leading the Spirit Tour now, or was.
But 21-25 is quite a ways from the top 6. A huge mountain to climb.
But you are right, she is a great player and a seasoned competitor.

I have beaten the only IPT player I ever played. About a year ago for the
9ball World Championship Qualifier over here. The score was 10-6 and at the moment it looks like it's going to be the most importand win in my life unless I start playing better.
You can understand who it is if you check my location, he is the only one from this country. I don't think he has lost more than 5 games in the tour after that and I hope he stays in the same form for the IPT tournaments.

It was .....
Brian Groce. I beat him in the final match in a qualifier tournament at the
Billiard Cafe in Indy. It went hill-to-hill and I broke and ran the last table to
win the tournament. That's when Skeet Bushor, the TD and publisher of Indy Pool news, gave me the handle of 'Snapshot'.

Suuuuuure you did, we believe you
u missed the point
Dave, I never said that softball wasn't a difficult sport to play. The point is that just because the games and the equipment are similar, they are both different games. Although playing pool on a bar table is similar to playing on a 9 footer, all the angles and the clusters that occur on a bar table create a different game. Just like hitting a 90+ mph fast ball at 60 feet is different from hitting a 80+ mph softball at 45'. I wasn't bashing anything in my statement, I was just pointing out that although the rules and the concepts are similar they are still not the same game. FYI btw, I have stepped in a batters box facing 80+mph pitching in both baseball and softball.

two points i'd like to clairify. first, people seem to think, i can only play on bar sized tables, WRONG! i started at the age of 8 years old on a regulation sized victor table, in my uncle's basement in leonia,new jersey, back in 1968.
second, the chance's tournament was held at a bar in patchougue long island new york, in a bar owned by doug chance. these 8-ball tournaments were the biggest in all of new york. the bar was called chance's. the tournaments were held between april of 2001-to-june 2002. the biggest tournament they ever had was january 2002. 21 of the best bar table players, (by this time, which was almost a year since these tournaments were going on, all the "sharks" showed up, and anyone that was just so-so was no where to be found, the field was the best of the best, new york bar players.) the tournament was monthly. in january 2002 the pot including the calcutta was a record $2,600. never before in a bar, on long island was that much money pressure, or great players in one room, i won that, in sudden death.
hope i cleared up, some info, ~~~~as far as being a "B" player, i bet most readers here would kill for my so called "B" game.

That may be true about 8-ball, but 9-ball on a barbox is much, much, much, much easier than 9-ball on a regulation 9 footer. Especially if it's your typical barbox with big corner pockets. Over the years I have asked alot of good players and pros what their high run in 9-ball was. Between all of them, it averaged to about 8 racks on a 9 footer, and about 12-15 on a barbox, no exaggeration. I am talking about their all time high runs BTW.
Gabe Owen is from my area. He lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma for 10 years. Over those years, I have both given him the 7 ball and beat him, and taken the 7 ball from him and beat him. Giving him the 7 was, well, a few "days" back, I will admit. Of course, there have been a few times I donated to his cause, but I am ahead on the money overall which, to his credit, not many in Tulsa can say.
More recently, I let him play the ghost on a regular basis when he is in town. I'm not sure that's a wise bet any longer. Damn has he gotten to be awful "lucky" lately.

I would have to say at least a dozen over the years, and I would have to go over the list and it could be more. Mike Sigel would be one, at the Jointed Cue 9 ball tournament in Sacramento, many years ago. Trainer, who just beat 3 of them at the Rum runner Tournament in Vegas, beat me at the Color of Money Tournament in LA in 1987. But then, I'm not in the IPT, so that doesn't count. John Henderson

I beat two I.P.T. players in back to back matches with the 2nd of those matches in the tournament finals. One of those 2 players I've never lost to in 3 matches. Another time, in Vegas, I did the same thing with 2 other I.P.T. players. The first 2 are from the U.S., the other 2 not. Peace, John.
