Is Dennis Orcollo "King of Money Matches" ?
- Thread starter spartan
- Start date
Dennis has been confiscating cash since before sky knew what pool was.
Yes, I have played English eight ball numerous times in the pubs of England and know the level of difficulty.
No, it was not played on the primary action table or in the main tournament room, but instead on a bar box in the upstairs action room at Derby City in January, 2019. I highly doubt anyone recorded it.
Depends on the definition of Money Game King.Azb article dub Dennis Orcollo “King of Money Matches”
Woodward Over Orcollo to Remain Barbox King, Calls Out Van Boening - News - AZBILLIARDS.COM
It was touted as the biggest money match of modern times, and it pitted the “King of Money Matches” Dennis Orcollo against the “King of the Barbox” Skyler Woodward. In the end, there can only be one king at a time though, and the player to keep their crown after this match at Stixx and Stones Billiawww.azbilliards.com
I would say at least 3 (Shane, Chang, Filler) are favorites over Dennis in 9/10 ball in money matches/money games.
If the definition is about woofing n barking at everyone n anyone n getting backers/suckers to stake you and having a horrible horrible track record of playing big money games.
DO is undisutedly the King!
Heres his record at bigger money games:
20k against Kuo Po Cheng ( Kuo won )
Race to 60 in 9 ball n 10 ball vs Yang
( Dennis got his head shaved )
Race to 120 in 10 ball vs Shane
( It almost had to be a race to 150 for Dennis to cross 100 mark )
Race to 120 9 ball vs shane
To his credit , he won hill-hill.
Race to 100 vs Carlo Biado ( dennis won )
If the definition of Money game king is about playing with your OWN money and winning.
My pick is Yang , Chang and the undisputed king SVB.
These are stone cold killers who gambles with their own money.
You left out the Frost one pocket for serious cash. I can't imagine anybody playing better one pocket than that.
I think he'd be better off playing hard to get more often but he knows his limitations.
Barbox pool is the cancer of pool in US. Promotes lazy fundamentals. I heard a Pro once say (I won't out him)...I love barbox...it makes fools think they can hang with me, when in reality they would be better of paying for lessons. It's not by some sort of fluke of nature that the best potters come from Europe.
Pre C-19 I used to travel to USA a lot on business. Would roll into a local hall and sometimes see more than half the room taken up by BB (more so in the South and West) and a small tear would run down my cheek.
The game was made to be played on 10 footers. Brunswick "changed" the standard to 9 so they could get more tables in their pre-Engineered rooms that they used to sell. Pros should still be playing on that surface....sorry for high-jacking the thread.
America put down the donut (Barbox).
I had no idea that this was the biggest money match of modern times, as indicated in the AZB article. I know there were some very large side bets, but those are not relevant in the assessment of how much Sky and Dennis played for.
These days, I take the announced amount of money in the middle with a grain of salt. Only a few players in the world make more than $50,000 in prize money net of expenses annually, and yet every time you look up, players are betting tens of thousands on a match. Luckily, how much is being bet has never especially mattered to me. If I can watch two very elite players matching up for a few thousand, I'd much rather watch that than watch two slightly less elite players match up for $25,000.

In Lewisville? After the tour. last month or so,he was playing some fat old man giving break/bih ,the 4and6 1500/game
I bet he could the get 8 from Sky. I remember about 10-12 years age anyone could get the 8 from Corey on a bar table
Wish I was ocean size...
