Anyone that beat Efren has to be counted. Mark plays great too.

its good to hear that Joey is playing well. What kind of matching up has he been doing lately? He is after all my second favorite player next the The Pearlironman said:Down here in Texas I think it is Jeremy Jones hands down and then probably Sylver Ochoa. Joey Barnes has been playing real well lately and then there is Bill Incordona who could care less about pecking orders and after that maybe David Henson of Austin. These though are quite a distance from the rest.
rackmsuckr said:Billy Bob plays a mean game of one-pocket. I played him a few games just last month and he whooped me, which was to be expected. But Mike came up and played at the same time and once he got comfortable, he was pulling out some of his magic shots again. Atwell was there as well.
Billy hung out with Jimmy Mataya growing up. Mike brought Bill up to Platisville many years ago, got him cleaned up and playing again, and they were partners for many years. The both of them taught Todd, JD and Timmy as they were coming up and all of them got in the box against Harry. Occasionally, Monk (Warren Costanza) would come up and stay and play too. Those were the good old days!
Knowledge and execution are probably even for Mike and Bill, but Mike, having a background in 3 cushion, pulls out some of the wildest banks and I think he has a better cueball and safeties.
Getnbzy said:I was lucky enough to see alot of those times Approx. '88-'91. Actually the trio of Z, Todd and Jimmy rodgers were known as the 3 headed monster. 3 players....1 Bankroll....All action. Later when Jimmy headed to vegas to deal, Billy slid into his spot and it was all good. Trips to portland for the sewickly tourneys were entertaing as well. Or at least i heard. I was only 19-20 at the time and had no Fake I.....err falsified identification at that time so I had to settle for playing in the Oregon state junior championships at Tommy T's in beaverton (1st. place 89 and 90 i humbly add:thumbup: Darin walding runner up 1 of those years) Glad to hear bill is doing better now. I never had the guts to call Warren "Chipmonk" but mike did and wouldTell Z the "Kid from Harry P Cues" says hello. Thanks linda
1 Pocket Ghost said:Well, if we count part time residents, (because he splits time between here and Mexico) then here in Illinois it would be Marco Marquez...
And even though I don't live there, I've been there a lot so I'm giving my opinion for California.....Now that Chohan's gone, I call it a 3 way tie between Billy Palmer, Parica, and Rafael Martinez - although I might put Rafael (cuz he hates to play a safety), a hair under Billy and Parica.
It is a lot like the old game of watching the paint dry. Very exciting.crawfish said:What's one pocket?
