Jose Garcia is an absolute joy to watch playing any game. He makes it very clear that Straight Pool is his game of choice and nothing else is even close.
Many knowledgeable players and instructors are adamant in saying that playing Straight Pool will improve your success in all other games. And, if you are a hardcore straight pool player, you can almost spot another hardcore straight pool player by the way they play patterns in 9 Ball and One Pocket.
If anyone has not seen the Accustats tape of Jose Garcia playing Tony Robles (I think it was Tony Robles) in the US Open 9 Ball Tournament, get a copy of that match.
Its a "Player Commentary" tape so not only do you get to see a master straight pool player play 9 Ball almost perfectly, you get to hear Jose and Pat comment on the match.
