Mike Dechaine will never be a world champion, he just doesn't make the cut for it. If he goes to the Philippines, unknown players will feast on him like crows while still giving him handicaps in matches, lol.
By most accounts Mike Dechaine is a world champ.

Tell him to go to the Philippines for action and not tournaments and he will see how he compares to those unknown players there.
Go get him, Mike.
A fan.
A fan, who didn't see anything out of line on Facebook, just basic woofing.
Keep on, keeping on. Best of luck to you, from back home.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but the truth is that no American has shown as much form as Mike Dechaine by the age of 25 since Shane Van Boening. As a fan of American pool, I'm really hoping that Mike's going to be a superstar of American pool for years to come.
Perhaps, as some suggest, Mike still needs to mature further as both a player and a man, but count me among those who think that Mike is a bright young star of American pool with an even brighter future.
PS Mike Dechaine and Jayson Shaw are fine players with fine futures. Might make for a nice TAR match with a hefty side bet between the two participants.
I love that we act like this guy, or that guy is "bad for pool." Tiger must be terrible for golf too, Johny Mac was HORRIBLE for tennis. Controversy breeds interest plain and simple! The two biggest promoters for pool were the movies The Hustler, and The Color of Money, and those REALLY high light the good things about pool...
Mike D. can be a real ass some times. So can any one else. Get off his nuts. At least he's out here trying to make a game. I've never seen one boxer talk some smack to another to try and get him fired up, and into a bad spot for a fight...
This whole discussion of what's "Good" for pool is such horse shit. Like half the people that talk about it even know. I'm sure every one on the internet is a marketing guru. They know for a fact, what's going to put butts in seats at pool events...
end of rant.
best,
Justin

Telling him to go to the Philippines carries just as much weight as me telling you to step away from your keyboard and get a life. I don't know your story. I don't know what turned you into such a keyboard cowboy who knows the ins and outs of what it takes to be a world champion and hang with the unknowns in the Philippines. Just as you don't know a single thing about Mike and the choices he's had to make; past, present, and future.
I imagine Mike would do just fine going over there. You, however, I imagine would have a difficult time even pulling out of your driveway. Then again, I don't know your story.

This post makes no sense, taking exception to something not quoted or even decipherably presented.
Lmfao. you are funny! No doubt there are probably monsters in Philippines but I don't think your right.
And give MD credit, he gambles and plays. Something all the butthurt people never do any of.
I'm a older guy that been playing pool, all my life and I still suck, but I could beat a lot of people on this forum.
Mike Dechaine is one great pool player. The first time I saw him play up here in NH, he was about 18 and some of the things that he did on the table was unbelieveable. What ever happen to pool players, in the old days, in the smoke filled rooms people put up or shut up, not sit on a computer and piss and moan. Mike will win many tournments in his career.
What's wrong with putting out a challenge and being to back it up.
You go Mike, don't waste your time listening to these peoples shit
