Pretty strong that you won't play me, the worst player on azbilliards.

Thing is, I proved my point. If the guy won't play me, he just doesn't play good enough to make these judgements.

Thanks a lot.
They are not getting me down, I am used to this. I just felt like defending myself.
I am just pointing out that if you put in the work and have determination, it can be done, and Open/Pro speed can be reached.

Sorry I brought this post up. Found it looking at someone elses posts, didnt see the date.
I saw Borana at Turning Stone and she is a strikingly beautiful woman. Her game looked ok too. Keep working at it. With the level of play and available coaching she has she can make big improvements over a couple years.

On a side note: I wouldn't classify JB as an open player, no way.
Playing in an open event and occasionally winning a few matches doesn't make one "open"
Oh well, differing opinions.

The A players around here won't play her even.

So what does that make her?

Unless the A players are really Bs, and so on and so forth.

The best definition I ever heard of an A player is "a player who beats B players." It's all relative...

"Open" is a big big range. It goes from people who were just bumped out of the A+ class all the way up to the top of the pyramid. Some places subdivide into Open, O+, Pro handicaps. I think that's more accurate.

Being bumped from the A+ to the Open class is a huge change in the NYC area. One day you're eeking out wins against As; the next day you're expected to play even against world champions. I'm glad I haven't had to go through that yet.

I think it's difficult to judge Jenn's game from the rail. She doesn't do anything fancy. She doesn't have a big stroke. She's a very thoughtful and deliberate player who puts a lot of emphasis on keeping her cue-ball out of trouble and taking advantage of two-way opportunities. When you've played her a lot (like you and I have), you begin to pick-up on her strategy in awkward situations but I think you have to get in the box to really see it.

I agree with that. She is a very controlled player. Not flashy by design.

I'm an A and there's no way I'd gamble with her even.

Mustn't be a very good A Geoff

Like I said, it's all relative. I am perfectly comfortable at the A handicap in the NYC area and I have the results to back it up. In some areas of the country I would be higher; in some areas lower.

Jenn is not a world champion, but she is also not an A by local standards.
