John Schmidt runs 820

[iusedtoberich]

I just saw this on FB. Is it real? No details yet. I almost don't believe it. Didn't even know he was still at it. I was even checking if it was April 1.

Wait, did Charlie Williams post that? Schmidt is NOT a 14.1 World Champion. CW is probably the only one who thinks he is. Maybe he had some gimmick like BIH every rack?

Just curious: was it streamed live or available somewhere?

Bob Keller's attestation is plenty good enough for me. Bob is a man of high character and integrity. Even so, John videotapes all his runs, so I'm sure his 820 will be available for inspection soon.

So, I'll assume the run happened and say "well played John."

Like the last one, lol.

He won't quit until he gets over 1000 or die trying

What was Shaw's number again?

How big were the pockets?

Can’t wait to be told how this run is invalid. It’s going to happen.

832

Thanks. The Aliens have flagged this an anomaly of interest. Funny how the first lifts the burden of the second. Maybe they'll both go manic and get into the mid thousand.

Good run. I wonder if he’s going to screw around and not let anyone see it until long after people stop caring. He has to realize that people only care about these runs for a few weeks after they occur and then it’s back to being an afterthought.

I remember part of his last attempt was to pick up the ball, clean it off, brush the table, etc.

Asuming any of it is actual, he may want to break the high number first.

And what did he win?

 

[Charlie Hustle]

If legit, it is one hell of an accomplishment. But to piggy back off of what others have said, he really screwed the pooch on his last big run. He waited and waited to release it, wanted to charge a large amount for it, etc etc. And then of course Shaw comes along and beats it before we get to see Schmidts run. Just release it immediately on YouTube.

Yeah, he needs to release the video immediately. No reason to wait. I’m curious though, what would it take to revive the world championship? Seems like there are plenty of straight pool players, or players capable of playing the game. Is it money? They have officially recognized championships in just about every other major game, except one pocket.

Hopefully he handles any video better this time around.
