NJ is on the way home.... he should stop by... I am sure Pat could hook something up on the 10 ftr for Accu-stats... would be quite a little road trip for Mike.

I think Mike needs to end the road trip on a positive note but
would be a neat match to watch:smile:
Doesn't Dechaine work a full time job?
I agree, though, Shane's attitude to the game is supremely professional and it shows in his play and in his results.
Are you talking about that circus table? Was it like when they played on the 9ft and Shane won by a score of 100 to 60?

Now your thinking. I would take Mike in this , but it could easily go the other way.
That is a BS arguement.
Any backer with any comprehension of economics and odds knows that if they are paying their player 50% of a win that their player needs to be a 2-1 favorite before the backer is making an "even" bet on his own money because if he is putting up $10,000 he is only possibly going to make $5000 or lose the full $10,000 while the pro freerolls with the other $5k.
Of course most pool players will do that, I am sure if some backer jumped up and said "Mike Dechaine I want to back you for $10,000 against anyone in the world!!!" then Mike would say "uhh, ok, sure, I will play anyone..."
Not to mention anyone who wants to play Shane has pretty much without fail had to come to the USA to get into these big set up matches. SVB has gone to PI on occasion, and when he does he does get played. If he ever wanted to take a backer and himself over to Taiwan for a couple months and tour that circuit I am sure some of the rich people in that area of the world would be happy to throw a Yang or a Chang or a Wu at SVB and see how much he likes it.
And SVB himself has already said, it is hard playing in another country with different food and with the time change and all. So great
"SVB will play anyone, bring em!"
"well they want to play for $50,000 in Taiwan"
"Nuh uhh, gotta be America, SVB gets the wrong kind of runs in Taiwan..."
ok except Shane openly admits hes afraid to play dennis for his own money..
I said it before the match. Shane is going to make a point with this match. When Shane has a clear mind for pool, he can not be beat.
I'm just sitting here enjoying the SVB era of pool. Whether you think he's the best or not, every other player is compared to Shane. What does that usually mean????????????????????

I'd say it's relative to the nationality of those having the discussion. Americans compare people to Shane, Phillipinos compare people to Dennis, Taiwanese to Chang, Brits to Daz, etc.
Shane is the best American player right now, but he still has a lot of competition when it comes to being the best in the world.
I missed this match as my girlfriend was moving apartment, but from what I've heard it sounds as though Shane was in that demon/machine/killer runout mode of his. That's always pretty incredible to see. His high gear playing 10 ball is frightening once that break starts working.
