Is last name velmos or close ?
I played him at the U.S. open In the tourney
Prolly 07 or so
+1 lol...I love it when people try to tell others where a player sits in the pecking order having seen 1 live stream match, or read 1 AZ thread. Then the actual player comes in and puts them in their place with a simple one line answer "Your 300 number is way off".
It must be Friday....brings out the weekend experts on AZ!
Thanks a lot Old Nine Baller now look what ya done to us old people! Not even sure if calling in Jay Helfert, Billy Incardona or John Henderson can fix this one.
Ya know Chris is kind of a throw back to a period (that I know of) in the mid 60's through the 70's where a pool player could go to a town and find someone willing to test their skills. To find out where on the food chain they sat or just maybe learn a little something to improve their status on said food chain. Having the nuts wasn't a necessity, but having the courage to step-up was. Having the smarts not to be a continual bust out was a big plus.
Chris has a history of that courage and also the smarts to go with it. For that he has my respect. Old Nine Baller if you want to call me a hugger then go for it, makes no difference to me. I will continue to praise Chris for being the warrior he has proved to be.
One last thing Old Nine Baller please stay at a Holiday Inn Express tonight.
Or just maybe they spend their time playing.:wink: But don't most only come by and visit for a reason ?:smile:
You are talking about Vilmos Foldes right whom many people know?
Don't know how a discussion of a Romanian careened into discussion about the Hungarian Foldes
The Romanian must be one of these guys

Apparently Foldes was telling people at Hard Times he was from Romania instead of Hungary. The OP said that in a later post. Maybe trying to stay under the radar for a short time.
It was said here earlier that he won a hard times tourney under a false name.
I think that is off the radar, not under it.

OP probably confused the nationalities or sth, but yes he seems to be the object of this discussion
If we had to make a list of reasons why they don't post amateurs and anons telling them how to play would be in the top fiveOr just maybe they spend their time playing.:wink: But don't most only come by and visit for a reason ?
Well if it is Vilmos Foldes well he plays above the top Romanians. :grin-square:
It was not Vilmos. This guy was left handed and Vilmos plays right handed. His name is Babken Melkonian. He does play pretty sporty, but not like Vilmos.
You are grasping at straws, Al, I said Danny was the best one pocket coach
You are grasping at straws, Al, I said Danny was the best one pocket coach available and I'd take him and play anyone in the country on a 10' table.
There were no "weasels" involved (on this end anyway).
And "be at ease," I'll stay off your lawn from now on.....unless I need to take a "short cut". LMAO!!!

Thanks
So seems that he is one of top players in Romania. Was one of 4 seeds in Darren's Dynamite Open and he won the secondary tourney. Not successful on eurotour
Played in W9B this year and was double eliminated in group stage
It still prolly won't happenThanks

But if he comes to columbus and plays for 5 k
I'll give him 500 before we start for exp money
Like I said its a long shot
I don't expect him to pack up and head to my town
But he is welcome too
And can get action
double post, deleted
