Chen (here in Dallas), mainly a 9-ball player, says his high run in 14.1 is 236! Wow... this makes me respect his game that much more!
 
I'd be wondering the same thing, but then again, there aren't as many Straight Pool tournaments nowadays, there are still a few like the US Open SPC, WSPC, and the news 14&1 Leagues that are in the process of being set up, wherever possible, but overall, there could still be alot more SP, especially in the US, and I believe that there are alot of good players out there, who are 100+ runners at straight pool, but don't play the game too often, because there's no tournaments to comete in on a regular basis, I personally fall into this category of players :)

As much as I love playing 9ball and other games, but there is just too much 9ball, and not enough Straight Pool and other games like Full-Rack Bank Pool, One Pocket, etc, and I feel that it's a let down to pool in a way :)

What are your thoughts on this, people? :)

I've really only seen him play 9-ball tournaments (since that's the majority of tournaments here). I've played him one pocket and he has a very respectable game there. I've also played him a variety of other games (Chinese ring games). I'm guessing it's just that not many people play 14.1 here and he probably can't find a good 14.1 game with the locals. I'll see if I can find out more info. this week on this and also on the conditions of his run.

[EDIT] I just found out that his high run was indeed on a 9-foot table. He says he once won a National 14.1 tournament in Taiwan as well. He doesn't play much anymore because no one here plays 14.1!
