The best non-pro player ever?

Jay, that one pocket.match with James Walden for 100k I believe lasted four days

How about that four day one pocket match with James Walden for 100k I believe as an example of the skill and endurance Cooney had to take it down? Walden was another 'non pro" player who didn't play tournaments and played at a high level gambling.

Toby F. and Jack played a big match in Vegas. I still remember one shot that was incredible, a double bank making one ball and lagging the other next to his pocket.

hmm?
the re-spot shot? or a scramble shot?

It's hard to diagram it perfectly, but he was banking one of the balls straight back and the other one 2 rails. And he was doing it afterwards with accuracy.

yea if you need both then you send both at your pocket like that.

if just one, you 2 rail the 6 and kick the 7 sideways.
or if room kick behind the 7, 2 rails to your pocket.

common type of shots that are part of the game. but if the guy is weak its best to just tick around with him till he sells out.
