I would love to see john s. vs larry nevel in the next all around action challenge....what does everyone think?

feel free to your input on this john or larry...I know you both post here
 
I like Larry in 10-ball and one-pocket by far. John has the advantage in 14.1, but isn't a lock. I'm like to see 8-ball and banks tossed in the mix somehow. Have a true all-around and see what happens. I'd take Larry in both those games as well to be honest.

I'm going to talk to Larry about this shortly and see what he thinks.

i appreciate your opinion as i know you are larrys friend.but he is not a lock playing me anything on a pooltable.ive seen him play and played him many times and hes awesome.there is people that think im robbing him playing all around but im quick to let them know im not.if you like him so much playing tenball and one hole we can just forget the 14.1.ill take the 9playing 10ball and 8to7 playing 1hole and bet real high.yes larry can hit the ball harder than me or anybody i know but those shots dont apply to real poolshots. accuracy and touch are far more important and i have as much of that or more than larry.anyway im not really dying to play him an all around challenge on tar mostly because hes super tough to beat but mainly the way he acts when he plays.but if push comes to shove i will play him the all around challenge.

I know you are quite fond of Larry's game and you have great reason to be but he doesn't HAVE to get there playing JS any game. Also, 14.1 would not even enter into the conversation if this match was ever discussed. You know I know Larry as well so I am not speaking out my arse.

I personally like Larry playing 10 ball with nearly anyone just because of his break but this matchup could go either way.
 
I never said Larry was a lock playing John in any game, I just said that I think he's the favorite in every game other then 14.1. Like Ktown said though, 14.1 probably wouldn't even be an option. Larry does play the game, and he plays it well, but he doesn't much care for it. I'd like to see 10-ball, 8-ball, one-pocket.

I'm trying to figure out why John is on hear asking for spots all of a sudden. Don't feel so strong about your game anymore John?

As for Larry's attitude when playing, GET OVER IT PEOPLE! It's funny to everyone when Corey goes out and soft breaks and breaks with the rake to get in people's heads, but if Larry gets upset and gets in people's heads and some big fiasco. Get a stronger mental game and deal with it already.
 
John asks for spots when people come on here and say they think someone will beat him. If someone is so confident about John getting beat, then they should give up weight to make it an "even" game.

Why in the world anyone would say they favor Larry in 10-ball or one pocket against John "BY FAR..." is beyond me.

I'm pretty sure 9 out of 10 people here don't think JS is an underdog to Larry in anything except breaking. Larry is running over people on the Southern Tour but he still hasn't broke through like Shane or JS and snapped off any huge tourneys that I can recall.

The action all rounds are long too; you'd have to factor in Larry's propensity for getting in a mood where he doesn't seem to care. The match he lost to Corey (on AZBtv.com) giving up games with 2,3, or even 4 ballls left on the table would make me think twice about putting $$ on him.

His talent is unquestionable, but his ability to give himself the best chance to win might be.

I don't know you or Larry other than what I read here.

If what you say is true, and I have no reason not to believe you, about the way Larry acts while playing I wouldn't play him.

People that act like that I just stay away from even if it is a dead lock that I would win every game of every set, I think that the money won would not equal the aggravation it would cause me. For me money isn't everything, my state of mind is much more important to me.

So why would I put myself in a situation that I know beforehand that will cause me grief?

JMHO, but I believe that there many players out there that will act like gentleman, win or lose.

I know that playing pool and gambling at it is your job, Just remember that people quit jobs every day because of situations they do not want to put up with.

edit: I did not mean to suggest that you quit playing pool, only that you are free to choose who you match up against.

Best of luck to you.

The Facts.....IMO

10 Ball is a pick-it.

Larry's the favorite in One Pocket.

John's a small favorite in straight pool.

Larry does have an attitude problem.
 
Tourney Wins

I would think the Derby City All-Around title is pretty good. The Viking Tour National Championship is not too bad either.
 
I pick Larry to win a trick shot competition. I pick Larry to win hardest break. I pick Larry in a short race in any game.

If it's a long race, Schmidt wins all day, every day. The longer, the better for John.
 
hi

im not saying im the favorite over him.but i dont think i need weight from him either.yes trick shots i like him harder break no doubt.but in a long race it should be close either way.thanks for saying i win everytime although its not really true.i wish i had more fans and backers like you lol.

Don't let 3% of the board shut you up, or put you off, John. There are always a few jokers around boards trying to mix it up with the "names". Look at the guy that Joe Rogan got to twist into a pretzel because of what was said on a NG.

Keep talking, keep posting, and keep setting up the great matches. Of all the TAR matches, the Schmidt/Harriman all around is the best.

One question for you, John. How do you think you'd do in a long race in 14.1 against Engert? Race to 1000?

There's a lot to be said in regards to physical conditioning on long races in pool. Larry is physically gifted, and exceptionally strong. He isn't used to spending the same length of time at the table as a great straight pool player such as yourself.

We have a few big guys in our league that play pretty darn good at the beginning of the night. As the hours pass, and they've been on their feet for awhile, they start to lose focus. They're easy pickings at the end of the night playing long sets. A lot of players underestimate fitness when it comes to pool.
 
I've witnessed Larry acting like a total douche when gambling and heard many more people say the same thing. I think John's composure is enough to make him the favorite in an all-around with Larry.
 
suprnova is from a small town and has never been around top players for long period of time . Larry is his "idol", so he thinks he's the best. On a talent scale larry is a" lock" ,but last i checked having the most talent doesn't mean your going to win! I personally have staked larry a few times and seen him in action more than mr.suprnova. larry is not a top gambler because of his attitude . Actually,larry is not easy to get to play. He'd rather tell you" that guy won't play me" or " he wants too big of a spot". See as good as larry plays he never learned how to lose. I know that sounds funny but what happens when a top player losses ? most of the top players I know want to flip it again . not so much with larry . his ego can't take losing, it's like he gets embarrased instead of letting it go. Now I haven't been around larry in quite a few years but i did play him in a little tourney about a year ago and when I started beating him his attitude was horrible throwing balls, slamming his cue around ,talking just loud enough so I could here him while I was shooting. Suprnova when people are gambling for big $$$$ it's tough enough they don't want to sweat the BS also. by the way the tourney paid 230$ for first place! larry beat me and looked ridiculous while doing it.

**** you Tom. I don't know what you're ****ing problem is with me but getting on here for the sole purpose of talking shit about me is really ****ing pathetic. You don't know anything about me or what I've done or who I've hung around with so you have no right to talk shit about me. Your post is pointless and you have no valid points. Like you said, you haven't been around Larry in quite a few years so you know nothing about who he's tried to gamble with and who he wants to gamble with. I however have been around him. I was there when he asked Shane to play. I was there when he asked Stevie to play. I was there when he asked Cliff to play. Hell, I was the person that called Bobby Pickle for him to try and make a game. Trust me, I know more than you think.
