Dont know personally, but I heard a match of JA's at the hall - a guy named "Tennessee Hennessey" came down, and bet JA $3k race to 21 and i think 9 games on the wire.
4" pockets, super fast felt.
JA beat him 21-15, 36 games - JA missed 3 shots.
HAHA!
If he gave 9 on the wire, they only played 27 games, still an alright feat though
Thats not bad at all is it? Man I can miss three shots in 1 rack
JA has never beaten me at 10 ball for the cheese.
If you are going to bring up the small details like this please keep your statements to yourself.Because you've never played im guessing
However you are right I never played him 10ball

OK IM SORRY MAN, i just wanted to be the first to say it :thumbup:
AH well, for about 45 seconds there I was Da Man until I got busted.
I really don't know though when a REAL $$ game went down and JA didn't get the best of it. There has to be at least one though.
Don't know the details or even it is true but I have heard that JA has not beaten C.J. Wiley in any set. Don't know if that is gambling or tournament or even if it is so. I will say that I have not heard anyone else mention this other than ironman317.
I would be curious to know if anyone can validate this either way.

I might not be sir...but you might get played :thumbup: on any sized table with any cueball and any cloth!!!
I wasnt calling either of them weak by no stretch of the imagination but their stipulations are...to me!!

He once played Frenchman Stefan Cohen 14.1 at the DCC a few yrs back. Was suppose to be two 150 point games for XXX amount. After Cohan put a 94 and out, sparks flew off JA's joint as he unscrewed. That the only loss I know of.
I will say that with two games and the seven, going to seven, I have a winning record. 1-0. (Local tournament 7-5.) With 3 games and the eight, I am exactly 1-4.
Oh yeah, I didn't shoot in one of those losses, and kicked exactly twice in another one.

6'
Well I am 6'3 and I am guessing that im 6'4 with shoes. So when a table is low i sure as hell notice, and by the way the conditions that i play in can make as big of a difference as the 6 or the 7 ball in my opinion.
If you ever wanna learn something about pool for once in your life shoot me a pm. Have a nice day
<laughin> You play real good Donnie, we seen each other a few times in Florida, I just dont play tournaments anymore. Your 2 inch's shorter than me and at least 100lbs lighter...so please save all your tall stories. Id love to learn something from you, Im sure I could and I respect your opinion as a player but you really shouldnt be so rude not knowing who your ranting at.
YOU have a nice day too,

Well I wasn't trying to be rude. You're the one that was saying negative things about my standards for playing a match.
If you are 6-5 or 6-6 and you weight 100 pounds more than I do then I guess you must stand differently than I do. I have a pretty long stance and I think that my long stance makes me feel like I am not a tall person when I play pool. So when a table is 2 inches lower my long stance no loner feels natural
I agree he has earned that right play at his place one of the greatest 9-ball players alive.Interesting fact about c.j. wiley he was one of my favorite players when I was younger "Heartbreaker".My first nice cue was his McDermott still have it.What ever happen to him.I never saw him much after that incident with Earl and his prize money for running 10 racks.Hope he is still playing.

Negative, Im not sure if it was, I think more of an opinion. I just came up at a time when there was the tables, balls, chalk and two guys willing to go at it. Im a caveman to modern ways...I guess.
No blood, no foul...good luck to ya.
Donny, you look taller than 6' 3'' from the videos I have seen. I've got a friend of mine who is 6'6'' and he sure looks uncomfortable when bends down to shoot. There are 2 guys in the pool league I play in and one is 6'8 and the other is 7'. That would be like me squatting down and shooting on the floor.
Also, be glad you don't have a big belly to go with that height.
