Most money matches are played on a brunswick metro tables or amf puyat tables. Pockets are 4.5 inches minimum in average. Puyat Tables generally are more than 4.5 inches.

There are still places that's not air conditioned. Just go to either One side (all brunswick), Side Pocket (3 brunswick), Starpaper (all brunswick and look-a-like tables). Superbowl ( all puyat tables)

Those 4 are the usual places where money games are played.

Chris, I don't know if you posted in jest, or seriously, but I am going to take it as seriously.

First thing you HAVE to do, is to stop saying that you can't beat him. As soon as you say that, you program your brain to lose. You are playing arguably the best player in the world, so, even getting weight, you know going in that you CANNOT make careless errors. There is very little you are going to get away with, so, you have to either run out all the time that you get a chance to, or you have to lock him up tight when you get the chance to.

Him being the best, means that he is not likely to miss opportunities, that is why he is the best. You, on the other hand, are likely to miss some opportunities, that is why you are getting a spot. So, you have to lessen his opportunities.

I think the biggest problem you have right now against him is your head. You KNOW deep down that you can win. That is why you keep playing him. Unlike less experienced players, you aren't foolishly chasing a dream you have no chance at. But, you HAVE (and I can't stress that enough) to believe not just down deep, but all the way through, that you can beat him. Until you do, you will sabatoge your game subconsciously to make sure you do lose.

Let's hope it lasts for atleast a couple of more match-ups :thumbup:
 
Fyi, Dennis is playing the best game in his life, I have never seen him played in this kind of level. Before going to states he beat a lot of top guns in here.:)

I had 1600 total on the Appleton match, and didn't want more on online-bets... Probably too much to bet online anyway, but I am too stupid to know.

Luckily you played a couple of matches that week also so I ended up ok :wink:

Except for the Morris-match, I bet $ 50 on Morris. First time I had ever seen an ahead-match, and first time I saw you play.

But yes, I bet on Dennis and then I bet on you against Schmidt with people chasing me there also, then I bet on Filipino to win predator + some other bets on the tournament. That's why backing isn't a thing for me, I bet on the player I think will win that particular match, not just supporting one player.

It was an ok week, not much profit, but it could have been a lot worse.

Only races and tournaments here in Europe, and I have to admit that after the few matches I now have seen I do prefer races.

I've been to Philippines many times, and all they play is long races like 25 or 33 etc.

I've been in pool for about 6-7 years.

I would like to give you the answer but I am still trying to figure out how to beat "The Curse" myself! Good luck, it's a real mf'er......

can anyone help me beat chris bartarm.
what do i need to do.
 
I watched Dennis play his first couple of Tourneys in the US, the IPT qualifier, Reno, Hardtimes Jamboree,a couple of others- and thought he was going to be a world beater back then.
Since then I've only watched a couple of his matches, but they have yet to change my mind.
BUT.... anyone can be beaten.
You just gotta be the one to get on it and do it.
He can't run from his chair, and he can't make what he can't see...
Must be part of Murphy's Law or something.

Going into the "Lions Den" for action....that's beyond strong.
That's the stuff legends are made of.
You know what you need to do to get it done, there's probably nothing anyone in this forum can tell you that you don't already know.
Just go do it.
 
Action on CB

Make sure to PM me before another match and you will get action. I will always bet on Dennis Orcullo against Chris Bartram :)

I will take that action all day brother.Next match lets hook up something nice just to sweat.I' pm you.How is the action in Norway?:thumbup:
 
Losing to Dennis the other week was no disgrace, that's for sure. Let's not forget that afterward he went down the hall and won the 10 Ball tournament, beating another 112 players in the process. The guy is on fire right now.
 
Beat Dennis? That's easy. Here's how:

***You must steal a comb/hair brush from Dennis, otherwise this won't work***

Well, first thing you need to do is shave....shave with an electric razor so you can collect all the hair pieces. Empty the razor clippings into a plastic baggy (the new zip lock freezer bags work great).

Next, find a stray cat and catch it by its tail. When you get it, it'll likely be pissed-off so be careful (wearing a long sleeve shirt is recommended). Hold him by the scruff of its neck while you duct-tape the baggy (with the beard clippings still inside) around its head.

By now, the cat will be doing flips and trying to claw your eyes out, so be very very careful. Carry him to the top of a 20+ story building. While on the roof, take a can of Final Net Hair Spray (only this kind works) and empty half of the can onto the cat---- make sure he's really soaked with hair spray.

Finally, use Dennis's comb/brush to part the cat's hair to one side - similar to Dennis the Menace. Before the hair spray dries, take a Bic lighter and set it on fire. Before the cat scratches your nuts off, give him a little bump over the edge.

I know you won't feel anything right away, but the next morning.... things will just be different. Not too dissimilar from leaving a record log in the commode. A weight will be lifted and a new era will begin.

I'll take a 10% jelly roll for this knowledge next time I see ya...
