I love watching all facets of the game. To sit there and watch these pro's play and trying to figure out what they are thinking and why they are doing things a certain way. What a way to learn the game we all love

Name: Ed
Currently living in: Dumaguete City (as a university faculty teaching computers). But i live my whole life before in Cebu City, Philippines.
I am working before as a professional Software Developer.

Game of choice : 9 Ball and Rotation (Filipino all time favorites!)
How long have you been playing: used to play during childhood days
until High school then stopped and does not pick up cue not until
a year or so. But ill play just for fun and friends.
Favorite Pro:
Efren Reyes (Pool Genius and the best all around player in pool history no doubt!)
Alex Pagulayan (Wacky and colorful personality. But plays very good pool
and typical filipino pool. Just won the WPC. I like his desire to improve
by the day as seen on his consistent topping on tournaments.)
Marlon Manalo (Has a shot making ability of a snooker player and has
a table management of a Filipino pool hustler. Deadly Combination! his rise
is not a surprise for me. Has the making of another Efren and Django.)
Earl Strickland (No doubt great shot making ability and cue control.Cant
win 5 times on U.S. Open for no reason. But hate his childish and uncalled
for emotional eruptions!)

Other Notables that I like:
Chin Shun Yang
Wu Chia Ching
Mika Immonen
Johnny Archer (No doubt a very great player to say the least!)
