Winner breaks i like svb whith a alternate break format it could go either way SVB played Bowman in Ia a few monthes back same format but alternate breaks they only missed 3 balls in 56 games on the box they were both in gear but could not string anything together i have watched Bowman string lots of racks same as SVB and im sure Nevel is the same its a coinflip.
I'm not sure why everyone is talking about Jesse here. Larry and Jesse aren't even comparable. Is Jesse a great barbox player? Yes. But is he as good as Larry on the box? Nope. Larry and Jesse have played in the past with Larry coming out ahead. Shane is, hands down, the favorite playing Jesse. Shane is the favorite is a lot of peoples eyes playing Larry, but that's because a lot of people on here haven't seen Larry play so they don't really know what they're talking about.

It's possible that's the reason Shane won't play Larry, but I don't know 100%. Larry does have a temper, and it does show at the table sometimes, but I think people overreact to how bad it really is. I've seen Larry play many, many times and I've seen how he can get and I've seen way worse from other players. Whatever the reason is though, Shane vs. Larry isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Get of Larrys jock i never said anything negative about him i actualy like him vs Svb in that match and in an all around i just brought up Bowman because i was there when they played When has Nevel gambled with bowman im not saying he cant beat him but dont say they are not comparable right know nevel plays alot more than Jesse but dont knock the fact he has been top 5 in the us on the box for over 10 years and i think is in his late 20's but dont say there not comparable sure 1 pocket straight pool i like Nevel and by the way SVB on here was not a heavy favorite against bowman he has only beat him 1 time before that match in Ia but look at this post svb is a heavy favorite over Nevel. Again not bashing Nevel i watched him play in chicago a couple monthes ago and i think he is top 5 material and the best i have ever seen with the break power he has is unreal owe yeah i forgot to mention his trick shots and draw shoots are the best out there just my 2 cents.

What's Nevel's history playing for big bucks, 10K and up, when he's playing someone who can fire back at him?
The reason I'm asking is we all know SVB can handle the pressure of a big bet. I just haven't heard about how Nevel plays when there is a lot of jelly beans on the match.
The only time I've seen Nevel is at the Nationals when he was practicing draw shots with the CB frozen to the rail. That was SICK!! LOL

Yes he does!! I have watched him very discouraged with matches (but not to the point of raking a full table because he missed once) when he gets the roll. That is why I am so suprised at his 1-pocket game. 6 years ago I would have bet the world that he could not have hung with the upper echelon players based soley on his ability to control his emotions. But I be danged if he doesnt seem to do just that at a very discouraging game. Maybe he has grown up quite a bit since I last saw him play. If he has that under control I believe that he has a shot in a rabbit race (which a race to 30 on a bar box between 2 players capable of stringing 7 or 8 will be) is going to be quick

Larry and Jesse played a few years back with Larry coming out winner. Jesse is a great barbox player, but he's a dog to both Larry and Shane. Period. Shane and Jesse played last year at BCA Nationals and Shane came out ahead there as well. I can't remember exactly how it went down though. Those 10 days are all a big blurr to me.
I would have to go with Shane VanBoening. Nothing against thegreat Larry Nevel, but I would take VavBoening over anybody right now. He's at his peak and he's aweful hard to bet against!
So, this is nothing against Larry. No matter who is matched up with SVB, I'll take him.

You are right they played last year that was the 1st time svb it was 2 sets 5,000 a piece. YOU ARE CRAZY PERIOD. Why dont you have a post started about bowman and nevel im sure you will have Alot more people saying bowman u are going off of 1 time they played if they played 10 times who would win? Again dont knock another persons opinion because you are posting for nevel im not choosing either sounds like you have a problem with people who post about Bowman why dont you throw a challenge out there im sure Bowman would gladley take the offer or better yet find out from svb how much of a monster he is he is the best non pro in the us on the box. I do respect you and your post but i have noticed for the last year every time you post something on here its about larry for all we know you are Larry lol

Doesn't Anyone rembember how good shane played at the bar table shootout in olathe. Every bar table player and big table player was there and the fillippino crew-alcano,jose,jr banks,steve Mcminn,Cj,Matlock, and 13 more bar table danny harrriman types. there was a one pocket tournement too -Cory and Gabe and Bill Incardonia. Its like a freightrain and Shane Wins over Mr.Nevel Who did shoot good in DC mark

Offers have been made to Jesse and nothing ever comes of it. In Vegas last year at the BCA there was some good talk about Jesse and Larry playing but Jesse declined. I think he wanted to focus more on Shane at the time. Jesse can get played if he wants to.
It's funny that you think I'm Larry though. Larry posts on here every now and again under lncanada9. I'm just friends with him.

I find it funny actually. It kinda seems like they don't have the mental game to play him. I'm not a great player by any means, but I'm pretty good, and I've played people before that do the same things that Larry does when he gets upset and it doesn't bother me one bit. So why is it that pros and big time gamblers have such an issue mentally against someone like Larry? Maybe it's the fact that they have to focus so hard to beat him because they know if they make the smallest mistake he will fire back at them much harder then they can. Larry can beat anyone in the world, at anytime, at any game.
People can attack me all day long, it doesn't bother me one bit. I'm just sick of everyone thinking that Shane is God and Shane will beat Larry with no problems but Shane himself will not play Larry. I don't know his reasoning, but Shane won't play Larry and that should tell everyone something about Larry's game.
