I love Earl, just hope he is on his best behavior

He will be in town (Alexandria VA) at the end of the month for the run attempt . For $100 you get a photo, signed ball and play one game.

.... beginning December 3.

... when we get closer to the 3rd. ....

Maybe I've lost track of things, but I think we are getting farther away from the 3rd of December with every passing minute.

Nice - looking forward to it.

There's an Accu-Stats DVD of Earl playing the late Nick Vlahos in straight pool, and after Earl jumped out to a big lead Nick just tortured him, keeping him in jail while chopping off runs of his own to beat him easily.

The best part was in the interview after the match, where Vlahos said that while Earl was a great player and all that, he "just didn't understand the game" of straight pool. After watching the video it'd be hard to argue with that point.

Nick was a stone great matchmaker who kept mostly undercover and died way too young. Most talented all-around player I ever saw come out of the DC area, bar none, although Rags was before my time.

There's another accustat s vid that shows johnny ervolino run 80 on him and lose, while Danny d did say that Earl may be able to overpower him before the start, he couldn't wait for an opportunity to say how Earl just didn't know the game. Who's to say you need to know the game when your in rythm and pocketing balls, and have a 400 run under your belt

It would be nice if Earl were to produce a big run at some point, summoning the ghost of Earl past. Wishing him the best of luck.

I don't care if he cusses out his opponent, he's playing himself

Actually Earls high run is 480. He told me he ran 480 when he was 32 years old. Im sure Lou will fix the typo.

 

[Dead Money]

I don't care if he cusses out his opponent, he's playing himself

Will he complain about his opponent sharking him?

It is possible...for high runs you are your own worst enemy usually!

I have said out loud a few times while shooting in a quiet pool hall: "just shut the f up and concentrate............idiot!"

It will, without question, be interesting.

I am going to correct the original post, but I wanted to mention that I have just been informed that Earl says that while his 408 is a well publicized number, in actuality, when he was 32 he ran a 480.
