Where does Mike Dechaine rank

well
Jeff Boucher is best in Montana, but I don't think they have one 9 footer in the state on a bar box
Rory Hendrickson is the best in North Dakota, but doesn't play much even though he did beat Appleton and Klatt in the USBTC this year. Very good, and buddies with Shane, but I don't think he would be playing Dechaines straight up 10 ball for large amounts of cash

and neither of them are in the same league as Mike.
There is one person born in this country that can spot Mike playing 9ball or 10ball on a big table. There are several that can play him even and it could go either way. There are 20 or so that would need a small spot from him to get there. That's it. End of story. Anyone who feels different can bring their local hero to Snookers in RI and lose your lunch money. #fact
I'll take the 5, along with break and ball in hand.
Mikey D. can bet what he wants!
Short Bus Russ - C Player

I didnt say they would win
I never said they would win or are in the same league playing 10 ball on a 9 footer. All I did was give information on the two best players in two of the states you mentioned.

Stop saying you're a C player when you're very very very very much not.
And that's fine and all… Im just stating my point. Dude acts like every state has someone on Mike's level and they just don't.
Hey, man......
Smorgas Bored GAVE me the Short Bus Russ moniker, and he said I am a C player at best... Who'm I to argue?

Unrealistic
Here by Pool-trax out of 76 breaks in 10 ball his break & run is 23.7%
http://pool-trax.net/Players/PlayerTrax.aspx?TraxTag=OP_501598
9 ball in 31 games his break and run was 19.4%
http://pool-trax.net/Players/PlayerTrax.aspx?TraxTag=OP_501598
So I highly doubt him running out at 80% unless he played one set to 5 and had a 4 pack.

Those are tournament stats. A shortstop can pattern rack and make the wing ball and runout at a higher percentage than Mikes stats that you posted. Mike will beat the ghost every time playing that and that would mean he is breaking and running atleast 50%. Those stats dont mean a thing
Facts. Go ahead a believe what you want

MD have more power, SVB has less power but more accurate, maybe I give SVB an edge in the break of 10 ball, in 9 ball maybe same for both
period!!!!
To me, the real test is gambling! And when I say gambling, I'm talking your own money! Don't get me wrong, tournament play is a critical aspect of one's ability, but the true test of a players heart is in the gambling on his own!
Being fortunate to have played for decent $$$, backed and my own, (mind you, I'm only a B player) the true test is gambling with your own money! This is just my opinion, with that said, I don't believe Mike is top 5! Maybe top 10
he's a great player, but it doesn't matter when it doesn't matter! I'm a great player too, when it doesn't matter, but it's when YOUR money is on the line when the true you comes out
Mike has many inner demons that will continue to haunt him. He will be one of those players that had the ability and the chance to make a REAL name for himself, but in the end, it will be his rather large head that gets in his way! It's too bad, because the kid has got the talent, no doubt about that. But he just doesn't have that little extra something that will make him great! He will always be just good!

Not to nitpick, but you can only put a horse in a triple crown event like the Preakness once. It is only for 3 year olds lol.
Important pool info.
