What is Borana Andoni's speed?

I'm down to play on either May 15th or 16th.

I would prefer to play at Pool Sharks on their Diamond in The Pit.

We can set up the game here in the forum. I will bet up to $2,000 of my own money. If Borana's contingent wants to bet more, that's fine, I just need to know how much. I don't doubt that there are many willing to back her.

I don't know what Borana's speed is but this would be an interesting way to answer the question for all of us who want to know. For the record, I believe I'm a C+/B- in LOS ANGELES, maybe a solid B if I remembered to eat lunch and a Flintstones vitamin. I don't know how that translates into NEW YORK ratings but I guess we can find out.

Will this match happen? Probably not.

Now go prove me wrong.





OMG "I Couldn't Win Beauty Pageants So I Took Up Pool Instead" WTF

We're half way there! Now can anyone on here speak for Borana, or get her to post herself, so we can get this set in stone?

M,

Why not right at the Rivi, assuming there is a TAR Bar - Stream this puppy!!!

I think Jim Murnak intially started the call out, but in all fairness, I think this should be up to Borana to personally post on here whether she is in or backing out.


Eric >someone should PM "QueenB"

I agree that it should be at the Riviera, but there isn't going to be a TAR Bar. TAR will be doing some streaming form the Riviera and I'm sure they could get these girls on there at some point...but it might have to be on a bar box.

He posted that he would back her, but she still has to agree to play. I don't care if it's her or someone speaking for her that finalizes, I just want to see it happen!

I believe TAR's schedule if pretty hectic at that time. They are streaming Grand Master on 15-17 and US Open 10 Ball 17-22. :(

I'm just glad it's happening somewhere in my neighborhood :)

I was thinking after the matches are done for the evening they could get the girls on the table maybe. I'm not sure if the tournament tables from the US Open 10-ball will be available for use other than the tournament, but with all the big names out there and possibilities of action and lack of TAR Bar, I think it should be a consideration.

I think ur right sunny. I casually asked Justin if he was interested but hes going to be super busy between now till the end of May. Maybe someone like BigTruck or NYCGrind can film it/stream it?

but first things first, Miss Andoni will need to respond for further discussion or all of this will be a mute point anyway.

Well, great idea but I'm sure these two girls are playing master singles and Master team events. I don't think it makes sense for neither girls to stay up all night and ruin their chances to snap off a National Title. I know KOD is really gearing to win the Master Team Title - they even have a reality clip following their journey. I'm sure Borana's loyalty to her team is too strong to ditch them like that.

OK, to answer the original question, with facts, without being accused of not-talking-glowingly about a player...

Borana is a mid level amateur. She is in the top half of talent on a regional womens amateur tour, but not in the top 3, more like in the 75th percentile of local amateurs. Same for a local mixed amateur handicapped tour; she would be in the top half of the field, skill wise, but not considered one of the top amateurs, men or women.

In plain inglese...she plays o.k.


Eric

Thank you! Oh, I like that internet stalker post....too funny. Hahaha
 
there's recorded streams of borana playing. a quick search on ustream turned up:

Borana vs. Kim Pierce

Borana vs. Lisa Marr


make your own judgement.

(i think these are from last year and being played on 8 footers.)

borana's probably gotten better as she's always working on her game/playing in tournaments/etc. - jim murnak posted before saying she ran 4 consecutive racks of 10-ball. what speed is that?


Hey! Check that out! Links to online videos provided by the OB Cues Ladies 9Ball Tour! Run by a handful of women pool players that do everything they can to promote women's pool! Personally, I provide all the live streaming for our events. And guess what - I also hold a 2nd place and 1st place finish in the BCA Open Women's Team event as well, but no one knows who I am! ;)

also...

I just noticed that May 15-16 is the beginning of the Singles. Personally, I don't care -- I'll play when my tournament day is done. But, if this is a conflicting time or day for Ms. Andoni, I'm sure we can work that out.

We don't have to play at Pool Sharks. We can play at the Riviera on a barbox, on a 9-foot, in a boat, with a goat, and winner gets green eggs and ham -- whatever.

Once Ms. Andoni accepts this invitation to play, we'll hammer out the details.

I disagree, I think a real test should be on a 9 footer. At any rate, it doesn't matter what we think only what OMG & Borana think.
I'd love to see this go down, but would be shocked to see it happen.
OMG, way to step up, "you da (wo)man". ;)
Steve.<--- Doesn't gamble, but would bet on OMGWTF because he thinks she's cool in the best sense of the word.

I've got a MILLION things to say here, but I'll try to keep it to two (for now):

A) OMGWTF you are the queen of my beauty pageant *blush*

b) Be very careful. You have lots of heart, nobody with a brain in their heads doubts that, but 4 racks or 10 ball is Shane-type speed. Careful!

Kevin

Ready to make yet another stupid emotional bet on OMGWTF, probably because she's so cute and nice.

That 4 pack was probably a one time thing. If that was her normal speed she'd be playing on the tour. Plain and simple.
 
i liked to see this match happen. as someone posted earlier borana has asked me, someone she can easily beat, to play for $500 even.

i like to see her play someone more her speed for big money. maybe she only challenges hacks? people she knows she can beat?

lets see if she steps up.

One time thing or not:

a) that 4 pack (ten ball) puts her out of OMGWTF's league

b) I'm so dumb I'll still taking OMGWTF (with the hope that she'll like me for it or whatever stupid reason I'd have for booking her against a one time 4 pack 10 ball runner).

Thanks

I doubt if Borana or any of the KOD want to get involved in this mess of negativity as they did nothing to start it. At this juncture it is a no win situation for Borana or any one of her team mates to respond.
