How many AZB'rs have beat a IPT member?

jsp said:
Easy there SS. CT just wants to play the game, and it's hard to play the game if you don't know the person.

And if you truly wanted to remain anonymous, why play this game and draw attention to yourself?

jsp <~~ Wants to remain anonymous, so I won't reveal the IPT members I beat. :p

While i see your point, i believe that you might be incorrect about CTsaurus.
If he wanted to play, then he would have just started guessing like everyone else.
OR, he would have asked some identifying questions to get a better picture of who i am, so that he could play the game.

but, that's not what he did is it.
He chimed in with his negativity, with no questions whatsoever.
It is only later, that he asked me to identify myself.

But, if you are worried about your anonymity, you shouldn't be.
Just cause i state who i beat, doesn't mean that i have to identify myself.
If you start listing off major/semi major events that these matches might have taken place at, THEN you are risking blowing your cover but for most of my wins, i could ID some OTHER forum members (some VERY well respected) that could verify the info, so that knowing where it might have taken place at becomes a MOOT point.
As for the wins that happened locally in smaller events, the only people that would know, are the locals who were there every week like myself, some of which DO post, and some of which don't even have a computer.
 
I played Mike Davis once in a weekly nine-ball tournament...

I won the first game, scratched on the break and he ran out three racks. I won the next and then he got the last two to make it 5-2.

So, for a minute or two i was beating Mike Davis..... didnt really last long though
 
SUPERSTAR said:
Is you not knowing who i am really that big of an issue for you?

Certain people on this forum know who i am.
Others don't. So what!
What does that have to do with anything?
Most of the people who DO know who i am, KNOW that i enjoy my anonymity.
Sorry if your one of the people that doesn't know, but oh well.

Your definitely not going to see me announce my name, and toot my own horn like i am the be all to end all of pool, cause that's just not the case, and that's not my style.

If you don't want to believe that i beat these people, then don't.
You don't really think that having your approval matters to me in any way do you?
Cause it doesn't.

So what about it bothers you? The fact that you don't know who i am? Is this list too unbelievable for you to swallow?
OR is this something else.
Your not still MAD at me for slamming you in the Saddam Terrorism thread are you? Cause if you've waited all this time to try and even the score, and this is your little nit-pick attempt at doing it, you've got some serious issues.

Wait, i've got it. Your still kind of sore at me, and as a result, would specifically question my ability regardless of how many people i beat to try and get under my skin so that you can get your jollies.

I don't know what your motives are, and quite frankly, i could care less.

This thread started out as a GAME!
If you didn't want to play, then DON'T.
But don't be like the little kid that's mad at others having fun, and try and ruin it for them.

Listen dude, you obviously care about what I and others think, because you wouldn't be getting so upset if you didn't.

Using your logic, it's perfectly reasonable for anyone on this board, under total anonymity, to say that they beat Mike Sigel when he was in his prime, giving him the 5-out. And then claim that shortly afterwards they went on to beat Buddy Hall, Nick Varner, Efren Reyes, Earl Strickland, and a whole slew of other champions, and yet NOBODY would have a good reason to call bullshit. We would all have to accept that person's anonymous claim, and if we were to inquire more about it, we would falsley be accused of having some sort of 'grudge'. Well that's a little too ridiculous for me. Have fun in fantasy land.
 
Hmm, I've played against 10 IPT tour member and won against 4 of them, 2 of them world champions. All long races in big tournaments, mostly 9-ball.
 
I have WON against 9 IPT players.

I have BEAT 8.

Lost to 4 but have only played them once.

The difference between WON and BEAT is how the matches progressed. One match I did get lucky to win, taking a very low percentage shot (in One-Pocket) case ball for the match and made it; pure desperation and fatique had set in after 2+ hours in a race to 3.

All the wins I was in control the entire match, but again the balls were cooperating in my favor (primarily after my break).

These were all tournament matches playing either One-pocket or 9-Ball. The interesting thing about this post is it made me think of all the great players I have played and are not on the IPT.

So sad...

Shame they don't have Forums with VOICE, caue you'd be hearing me laugh hysterically. To think that i am upset at your words, is the furthest thing from the truth.

Your not wanting to believe and calling it bullcrap is fine by me. You can sit there and not believe till your blue in the face. I could care less.
Believe me, i'm not trying to twist your arm and convince you.


and hopefully, that is the end of it.
BYE!!! :D

OK go easy on me!

I have beaten the following in COMPETITION, since that is what I took the question as meaning...

  • A young Dutch world class player
  • A Mexican WPC runner up
  • Top 8 finisher of the infamous Tokyo event )and ex snooker Pro)
  • Former Glass City Open Champion
  • Australian who finished 33rd in last years WPC
  • Current UPA No 1
  • A big US Money player
  • Former BCA Champion
  • Former Irish Champion and current Ocenia Champion
  • Ex Billiard World Campion
  • A famous AZ Ozzie :eek:

But like SJM, one set doesnàt mean that much even though it is competitive.

It does look like you are singling Superstar out. A few other members in this theread beat IPT members and you dind't jump down their throats. Trainer, Cuesrus, On The Heal, The One, and Banker Burt all claimed they beat one or more IPT members. They did not reveal their true identties (at least in this thread), yet you have not questioned their claims.

And a few more members did reveal there names in either their signitures or thier Screen Name. How do you know they werent' making this up, just becaues you can see their name?

It amazes me every time we have a thread about ability all the doubters come in. If someone cliams they ran an 8 pack, or 100 balls, or 8 and out in bank pool, there will always be someone who thinks it was all made up, because the posters don't reveal their names. Well, in my pool room, there have problaby been 10 world beaters over the past decade who were regulars, that even if I revealed their names, they would be meaningless to anyone outside of my region. You must come from a pool area where the best players are C's or B's, for you to think it is impossible for an annonomous person to beat severl top flight pros.

I'd have to agree with rich on this one. As I've said before, just cuz' someones in the IPT doesn't make them a pro. If you go to the official IPT site, Kevin admits that not all the players are really qualified to be held in such high regards. However, because they applied early and they have a reasonable background in any form of billiards they were accepted into the IPT. Not all IPT players are Pro level players and beating some of them isn't so difficult. Besides, so what if someone has claimed to have beaten so many from the IPT list. I myself find it very plausable and possible. All in all, even pro's have bad days and can lose a set to a strong A, B or even C player. I may be going overboard w/ the C players... but it's still possible.

With the C player? Maybe if the pro were blindfolded then it'd be even.

For a D player like myself, I think they'd have to be drunk, blind-folded and shooting with their offhand. :(

I thought it would be fun to see how many of AZB'rs have beat one of the
members of the IPT? and for the other AZb'rs to guess who it was they
beat? Of course, you have to give a hint about who it was, but not give it
away. Then after someone guesses correctly, you have to tell the 'story' of how you came to beat them.

This has to be in a tournament or a locked up money match, not just in
practice, or for 1 game, it has to be a match (set).

I guess I should go first, huh! Okay, I have beat 1 of the IPT members,
and he qualified for the tour through the qualifiers. That's the hint.
It was 9.5 years ago.

I have beaten 1 IPT player twice; money game; he's one of originally 150 players selected. My backer was another IPT player, also from the original 150. That was last summer (May 2005). No other matches have been set up.

You guys are right, I did single him out. I apologize.

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.

Yes mate you played very well that day and duly deserved your fine win. :-)

You are absolutely right about the C player. But as I was saying, I may have been going overboard. More importantly, I didn't want to tick off or offend any C players.
