Congratulations to Mr. Straight Pool
It is great to see John finally play the way we all knew he could play.
First in the World Championship, the biggest stage of all, and then at Maryland against world caliber competition, to show the first one was not a fluke.
Archer had beaten him last year and it is always tough to compete against a winner like Archer, but Schmidt went through him easily.
Against Thorsten, his main competition for the best straight pool player in the world, there had to be a little pressure. Their world championship match had been a little choppy. This time, John left no doubt.
He was smooth as silk, like a hot knife through butter. When he plays like that, it is a pleasure to watch.
Here's hoping for more events for John to show the world what he can do. :thumbup:
