shane told me he was going to go play efren, say what you like but efren has home court and thats a big factor that cant be over looked. Yes efren i believe at his best was a full speed above shane in all games. But right now i dont think efren could come to america and beat shane on a diamond in shanes home court.
I admire shane for having the stones to go play those guys and give up home court, its a smart move on shanes part, he wants to improve. How better to get better than put your self in action on your own $$$ against better players??? Thats the best way to become a stronger player, since shane cant find many games here in america where he isnt the favorite-he has to take his game on the road to improve. And going to the pi playing those gladiators on your own $$$ not only shows me heart it shows brains. He will become stronger than he already is. He knows he can improve-shane isnt playing his best pool yet he is only 27, he still needs a few more years then he will be at his best. He is doing all the right things to get the best he can out of himself.
