Wow just saw the past winners of the Hard Times Annual 10 Ball Tourney.
2010... Lee Vann
2011... Alex
2012... Dennis
2013... Biado
2014... Dennis
And with the exception of the 2012, there were at least 3 Pinoys in placing 5th or better. Of course, there were only three there. At any rate, this appears to be their venue.
Any opinions on why they appear so dominant (other than duh!!! They're from The Philippines and it's Pool!)
Traveling abroad doesn't faze them. Playing with tight pockets evidently doesn't slow them down. The Cali climate probably suits them. Of course, many of them have a gracious host where they hang out, shoot pool and treat him with delicious dishes every day. Comfort food always makes you feel at home when you're abroad.
It would be hard to side bet against any of them at Hard Times. And that wouldn't matter which Pinoy would be playing against any other player in the world.
