I have nothing against the female players, and I'm actually pretty good friends with a bunch of WPBA ranked players and other women pros.
Here is the bottom line. Alison, Karen, or any one of them can get played by like 5 of the local short-stops here and probably need at least a small spot... and these guys aren't heroes, they aren't top-500 players IMO.
The girls all know this, I've had the talks with all of them, and I've seen some of them match up and lose.
IMO saying #1Woman < #500 guy could be modest.
JCIN may have a point about the 'under the lights' game, but who's to say that 'under the lights' is true pool, and even so I think that only takes the edge off of a small % of those players.
I don't even think this should be a debate, the girls know it, the guys know it, why can't the spectators accept it more?
FYI; when some of these girls run hot, they really can get up in there and compete with some of the better guys, but that goes for the top 500 men players too, any one of them is capable of beating a top-10 player on a certain day.

Holy S%$#! Someone who is going straight to the point. Just f#%$ing ask them. And you are very correct, sir. They will tell you. I have had that question answered by almost all of the top women. Ally didn't want to comment, other than it would be "interesting." The Spectators that don't believe, just plain out don't understand it. Or, they maybe need to hear it from the women. Ask Jeanette, Karen, Kelly and see how they'd play Little Tony some. And everyone knows he isn't top 300 in the world.AZE said:

All I can say is wow!!!
It took all of these pages to get this great post. I don't know what the real number of men are that beat the top 5 women but based on watching the women miss easy shots on huge pockets leads me to believe that there are a bunch of men that are the favorite.
I know Allison and Karen are #1 and #2 in most peoples minds, but I think if you are going to match up a woman against a man in a long set it should be someone like Ga Young Kim (sp?) She has a bigger offensive gear and break than A or K. IMO................ She isn't quite as consistent but should have at least as good of a chance as A or K do.
What is Kelly doing driving your car, vette?corvette1340 said:

Ok Corvette, enough is enough, this started as a stupid argument between you boys. You are crossing the line with this post, it is disrespectful and I don't appreciate it.corvette1340 said:

lol, exactly what was offensive about that picture?
Seriously, what about that picture could anyone possibly be offended by? It is in no way offensive to any of the parties involved. It only reflects the thread and the way it has taken off in the past day or so and does it in a humorous way. Shit storms do not exist by the way. If anyone can tell me why that picture is offensive then I will take it down. Anyone that can explain it to me in a way that makes sense that is.
still waiting. Why and to whom was that picture disrespectful to Kelly?
Truly I Am.... imo
Ah, is that a picture of Kelly in the middle of all the swirling kaa-kaa ?

( I'm offended )

yeah, but I am there too, along with JB and the rest of the thread, inspired by BWhites "shit storm" comment. I guess humorous metaphorical pictures are above some people's intellect. By the way, I'm still waiting on an explanation as to why this is disrespectful and offensive from someone other than Smorg, who delves into humor his self.
Humorous or Offensive?
Neither imo.
I took that picture as your attempt at a humorous depiction of this thread and not of any of the players being discussed. I could be wrong, but that is the way I seen it.

You are 100% correct in your assessment of my intentions of the drawing.
thanks for voicing your opinion. What reactions or feelings did the picture illicit if it was neither offensive nor humorous? Just curious, as I conduct my yearly poster evaluations.
and now has been edited.

That is too bad. I played golf with Train a few times and he was a world class pool player back in the day, and a nice guy.
