are you really representing Matlock here?
because if I were him I think I'd be a little pissed about the representation I was getting

roosterman said:Why do you hate Matlock all you've done is talk bad about everthing I've talked about.All David wants to do is set some records straight that was posted on this form you can either believe them or,not.He's at Shooters in Olathe right now call him and ask him yourselves.
Scott Lee said:Roosterman...Give it a rest! You can no more prove that David Matlock has never lost, than we can prove that he has. MOST of the top players have lived in drug or alcohol induced hazes for much of their lives. I would doubt that ANY of these players can remember accurately what happened 20 years ago.![]()

uwate said:Your kidding me...your trying to say Panchito beats Matlock on the bar box? Gimme a break...Panchito got beat for 2k by Tom D'Alfonso in NY just recently, he lost 1k playing Monster John a few weeks back in South Florida. His game is great no doubt, but cmon Matlock on the barbox is about as stout as they come. In his prime he would have probably given Panchito the last 3 or maybe the 7 on the small track I would say.
How is roosterman giving David a bad rep? He has yet to curse, swear, or demean any players or the posters on this forum. Roosterman is a life long friend, opponent, and fan. He talks to David weekly sometimes and the last few days has been delivering messages on David's behalf. Again, he is not trying to call people out necessarily, but set the record straight. I'll tell you how he represents David, he only helped stake him in the big bar table ring game on TAR. How well do you guys know your player? He knows what he's talking about!bigskyjake said:are you really representing Matlock here?

As always, an instructor tries to explain how to determine a great player. Playing long ahead sets is really the way to determine who is the better player. Yes, you can ascertain alot from tournament winnings, but if i was to compare Charlie Williams to David Matlock in recent times (just for pure example), Charlie has had better tournament finishes. However, if you were to lock them in a room for 3 days, Charlie would be broke and mentally destroyed. To many variables to contain with in a short period of time. There is no way that a tournament always determines the best player!Scott Lee said:No...actually SEVERAL races to nine tells who the best player is...in that tournament, on that day!

With all due respect. If you beat david in OKC in under an hour, i guarantee you would got another 1 or 2 sessions fired right back at you. During this time, if you could beat David,you could bust the whole state of Oklahoma. I assure you; the okies thought David Matlock was the greatest thing next to sliced bread. He had some of the biggest pockets at that time. Several oil men who thought they were being naughty for staking pool players and got their rocks off, doing it. And if you did indeed beat him like you said you did, I promise they would be flipping the coin for the next set. Now Keith i do remember when you beat James Walden handily for about 10,000, i was in OKC when you did it, didn't see it but i heard about it. I think you could have the games and the guys confused. Because David says it never happened this way.. Again, no disrespect to you Keith. I used to watch you all of the time down at the Cue-Topia along with Mark Tadd and others. Hell, you even knocked me out of game with a Big drug dealer ( i still can't remember his name) I talked to you several times, and you knew me, so, again, i don't want you to feel disrespected about my comments.Keith McCready said:Roosterman, I don't want to cause any friction or anything, but the facts are the facts. David beat me down there in Dallas at Sonny Springer's home. Will Willingham and Weldon Rogers was with me. We blowed about 20-some thousand. We came back to Oklahoma City and played again, a rematch, and I got some of the money back. I believe it as 15 or 16,000.
Then we were over there in Richmond, Kentucky, at the Clyde Childress tournament. We did play one little 5-ahead set. LATER, the next night, Dave and I played a 10-ahead set for $5,000. Big Dean from Atlanta was staking me in this one. That session lasted about an hour, me winning the money.
I have all the respect in the world for his game, and I can actually say that I would call David Matlock my friend. David in my opinion, when he gets rolling, is probably the best bar table player that I've seen when it comes to gears. He had those gears. That's what separates a good player and a player extraordinaire.

Scott Lee said:Charlie Williams? Heck...let's lock Matlock in a room with Efren for 3 days, and see who comes out ahead! Efren is a feared money player, as well as an excellent tournament player. If tournaments don't determine who is the better player, then why do the top players still play in them? Why don't they just gamble? Probably because someone will actually come out a winner in the tournament, and take home some cash. The gamblers will break even over time (or, as we all know, more likely go broke...because they won some $$$ playing pool, and then lost it at the track!).

Roadkill said:No disrespect intended, but I think there would be huge interest in a matchup where Scott Lee plays Alex Pagulayan getting the 5 out in a race to 50 for $10,000.
I think this would be a great match and great for pool. It could be advertised as the "Teacher vs. Student: The Match of the Century". This could open up an entire new PPV revenue stream for TAR (matches where one player is getting weight). I would pay $$$ to see Scott and Alex battle it out.![]()

Seriously, bar box 8-ball with a big cueball these days is akin to trowing a baseball at the 3 standing bottles trying to knock them off to win a stuffed animal. It is a gimmick game, might as well just gamble Bucktooth and his silly keno board or whatever the hell that is.
In a world where you pretty much have to carry around your own big cueball in order to play with one these days you are becoming the master at a gimmick that almost noone plays anymore. It is one step better then getting yourself into the guiness book of world records for just eating peanuts to survive for longer then anyone else in the world.
Now if they played with a normal sized cueball like 99.999% of the world does these days, well I will just say I got $100 on Efren in 8-ball for a 15 ahead set or better. I am pretty sure if backers were contacted Efren could bring the entire net worth of the Phillipines for a match like this.
