Cool. Is there a link? Thanks
Just google FargoRate top 100
Pretty sure Filler was 829 and Shane 828 for a minute
I wonder how far Dennis got knocked down. It would be cool to see Fargo top 10 snapshots over the years.
Joshua was one point ahead...then they both had 828...but Joshua was still ahead.
...by decimal points....Mike Page explained that a while back
You mentioning this made me go and look at the AZB money leader board and it seems it got jacked up with the switch to the new format. It doesn't come close to having all of the tourneys and years listed.Think another measure of greatness is Net Worth, that is my bench mark.

Money leading is not what I am talking about, NET WORTH IS my bench mark.
As many Top Pro like one in AZ don’t have home, auto, but does have backer.
Recall this guy winning 20k one weekend, and two weeks later trying to BUM A SMOKE.
So the guy could win, but was crappy money manager,or backer got most of winnings.

Well I am honest with self, I am OK Recreational player.
I’ve seen guys walk into the pool room broke, get pumped up $10k and leave broke at 3am. Those were the days when there was action. I never went up that high in one day and left with nothing. But I had days where I’d come out even after being up a lot, probably 4/5K is the most. Lots of times I’d be up $1000 and leave up $100. When your in action up & down happens. Those days are looooong gone.
Then Hunter is the best pool player in the US...lolMoney leading is not what I am talking about, NET WORTH IS my bench mark.

That's not to take anything away from Hunter's game, he's a great player and an even greater guy, but he is far from the best player in the US but there's a reason he can afford to travel to all the pool tournaments in the world.

Not mine, I'm not giving the spotlight to the rich guy who once won a bet of $5,000,000 on a pool match with his friend, even though he earned more in his pool career than Reyes.. I'm not, for that matter, taking anything away from the guy who made a lot and gave a lot of it to charity, or the guy who made a lot but lost a lot of it in a divorce settlement. Nor am I taking anything away from anyone who squandered their earnings in any other way.Think another measure of greatness is Net Worth, that is my bench mark.
How one manages (or mismanages) their money is not a measure of their greatness as a pool player. Sometimes greatness at pool and financial independence go together and sometimes they don't. For me, the only measure of greatness in pool is who beats the best in the biggest spots our sport has to offer.
CJ? Shane?
