Match-up with Mark Coates
- Thread starter Dawgie
- Start date
Yes MC from Florida. By the "edge to sleeve", I guess you mean the edge to MC?
No offense to Mark, but I guess I got the wrong idea about Shaun. I thought he played better than that! Enough better that the question wouldn't have been asked! Not trying to downplay Mark, but I just figured that wasn't even a game, cause I really didn't think Mark played THAT good.

Looks like one for Mark and one for Shaun. Anybody else have a viewpoint on a game like this?
Actually I may have mis-spoke his nickname sleeve/ the shirt Shaun W.
I think he is better than Mark in this match up. Mark is a race horse though. He has a huge break and gets out fast. I just think Shaun is a notch up on him.
So, it's two for Shaun.
Will Mark even show up? If he does will he try to change the game? Does Shaun live close? If he doesn't he shouldn't waste his time traveling there. I have a little experience traveling there, wasting a whole day, then Mark showing up trying to change the game saying he didn't feel fresh????? 9 hours out of our day with 4 hours of it driving. If Mark sends me $200(4 our wasted time)I won't post anymore about it, until then I will post this in every thread about him getting action.
Have a nice day.
Good luck ever getting any money from him! He has owed me about $250 for over 2 years now. At least I didn't have to drive 2 hours each way to listen to him tell me he was short.
As far as action with Shaun and Mark matching up....If Shaun plays as good as you say he can probably give Mark the 7 and still roll him. Jason Kirkwood and Tom D'Alfonso did a few years ago on Mark's home court.
I guess I wasn't as far off as I thought! A few of you stated what I was thinking. I know a few local people who consider Mark easy action, and they don't play near Kirkwood or Shorty's speed! Mark probably needs the 7, or he will get hijacked!

On the other hand Mark wasn't playing as seriously a few years ago. He seems to have rededicated himself now so he may be playing at a higher level than then. Mark has obviously played some seriously good pool in his time. It wouldn't take much for him to get back to that level. He has always had great endurance for the cash.
On a side note he is a very good instructor. I credit Mark (and lots of practice) for the biggest jumps in my game over the years.
Wasn't trying to knock Mark, just thought the game was out of line! I have nothing against him, he has always been the perfect gentleman when coming over with Bonnie to Ladies Spirit tournaments at my home room! They are both great people, I especially like her!( we ran over a jack n jill scotch doubles tournament once the fri before the LST event)
