- Thread starter Marcopolo
- Start date
Anyone can post the dough.BUT who is MOST FEARED when it comes to a money player.I would say "The Magician".
Me ...... If The Spot Is Right! Hahaha
Actually I'd Say David M In His Prime
Dennis Orcullo
Dennis and Alex are at the top or very near the top for sure. A lot of good players get better for the money. To me tournaments are not a true test. I seemed to never give it 100% when I played in them. I think my way of thinking was that my money was already up (entry fee), so that was all I could lose. I almost always played better for the money. Johnnyt
Isn't there already a thread VERY similar to this?....
I think it's title is "The Best Money Player Alive" or something to that effect.

IMO:
Best American: SVB
Best in the world: Alex and Dennis in a dead heat.
Efren is only feared for his one hole game now. Shane tried to play him last year at the Derby and was told "you get 9-7 playing one pocket, no other games will be played"
To my knowledge there is only one American who has matched up with both Alex and Dennis in the past couple of years gambling for significant amounts. Anyone want to guess who it is?
He may be different than you think.

Shane hasn't matched up with orcullo, yet. The man you speak of is the one and only....

I was with dennis and edwin in 1996's canadian 9 ball tournament in calgary when dennis beat svb for, i believe, 1k. Edwin montal was the one backing dennis and i even heard svb say" i would never gamble with you anymore"..not sure if he was kidding or not. Dennis even asked him to switch the game from 9ball to 8 ball.
I have been off the loop for sometime, but, the last time i was keeping track, dennis beat alex 3x on money games and alex has not won yet.
Btw, dennis and svb played in this poolhall called styx billiards.
Alex told me this year in Vegas that he has beaten Dennis in the Philippines.pinoyincalgary said:
Shane asked Dennis to play bar table 8 ball at last years Shooters Ring Game. Dennis wanted alternate break and Shane wanted winner break. Dennis walked away. I am sure they will play at some point in the future.
The thing I find interesting is that all of the very top gamblers are also the nicest players in the game.
Have Jose Parica and Buddy Hall ever matched-up? Any stories?

No, only in tournaments.
In the PI these guys are constantly testing each other. That's what keeps them sharp. Last year Lee Van beat Dennis several times in a row. At Rotation, Efren may still be King over there.
It's close between Alex, Yang and Dennis right now. On a given day any one of them could win. Meanwhile there are at least half a dozen guys in the PI who will play anyone of the above three even. Bandido you tell me if I'm wrong.
Let's see; Lee Van, Francisco, Alcano, Gabica, Gallego, De Luna, Kiamco, Gomez. And the beat goes on.
I hate to say it, but every time one of these guys comes over here, it's like a hot knife going through butter. I suspect if the money was right they could do it in Europe too.
