He was a bad man, straight playa.
I had the honor to be his teammate on a BCA style team once, when playing in the Seminole Indian Tribes yearly event on the reservation. We had a solid team, Doug young, Johnny ditoro, Floyd, monster John and myself.
It was fun whooping up on all the Florida teams that consisted of great players like Corey D, Troy frank, Corey Pernod, Nathan rose, Dennis searing, Glenn Olson, Louis altes, randy epperson, etc. Etc.

The top 5 are pretty easy but after that it gets murky...example ( Josh Roberts tortured Chris Gentile in Mississippi out of about 12 games and then Bartrum beat Josh at Derby...so maybe Bart and Josh should be top 10 just not consistently. Under the top 5 there is numerous guys that can beat each other at any given time...just saying.
I wish some of these youngsters would ask a instroke Corey penrod or troy frank to play some bar box 8 ball...lol
Were you the scorekeeper on that team..lmao jk man

Mike Massey ain't no slouch either. Too bad he doesn't really compete anymore.

Sorry for the crappy quality, but I think it gets the point across.

The boy got patience, very hard to beat in one pocket, it is a gift no matter how hard you try you cannot fake it, you got it or you do not! for this reason only i placed him on top, his knowledge and execution in one pocket, IMO is not up to par with the big dogs!
What about Jesse Gilbert out of the Bay Area?
Well, I don't know about a "lock", but I know where my money is going to be.
Can he beat the smooth criminal?
I didn't know they were playing but i'll take 50 on Mr. Bartram. Hit me up on FB to confirm.

Your last post seemed like you thought it was a lock
Dee is a good player and this will be a tough match
And with your betting record I'm glad your not betting on me
Maybe the funniest post of the year so far. I literally spit out my ice tea reading that one.....

Sure, I've booked a few losers as of late, but everyone has bad runs here and there. Not counting the Derby (which was horrible), I'm still up for the year. And that includes me going off on Locke.
That's funny right there don't matter who u are !!
:rotflmao::lmao::killingme: You right...I had UConn on a basketball pool & when I seen my old Greg taking bets on them in action room I wedged my bet with a bookie even tho I thought UConn was better team..I thought for sure they were toast if he liked them in game...True story right there...lol

what about Paricka,Jointer,Richie Richeson, its hard to nail down a top 10,maybe a top 50
I'd be compelled to insert Rafael Martinez in there somewhere,
but only when he has "the fire" and really wants to win.

There are a lot of these "who's the best" threads already for every game.
You didn't specify if it was tournament or green room
I had this conversation with the people up in Chicago. I don't think you can rank players much beyond top 5 because ALL the young players play a different game of one pocket. They can bash into balls and know that they shoot so straight it doesn't matter where the ball ends up, they will make a shot.
