Today I think Busty could play with anybody, now that his One Pocket game is on point.
One Pocket, Banks, 14.1, 8 Ball, 9 Ball, 10 Ball..., I think he's won them all and has gamble too!

I like Shane and Dennis. They both play ALL games well! I never see Alex try to play Straight Pool and all the great Chinese players don't play One Pocket or Straight Pool. Shane and Dennis are in a class by themselves.

I think Busty beats Shane in One Pocket? 14.1? Maybe 8 Ball?
 
I don't care about what the game is. I like Earl because he's so freakin' entertaining. A walking, talking IED. Shoots good too.
 
Thorsten Hohmann

He has championships in 7 Ball, 8 Ball, 9 Ball, 10 Ball, and 14.1.
He is a true athlete, as evidenced in his commitment to physical fitness. On the one occasion that I met him, he was a really nice guy.

Conversational turn signal:
I wish the Asians would start 1p.
 
Oh, duh...I want to say alex is my pick too,

But feijin can play all games too.

If I had to pick one, it would be those 2.

Alex is a super nice guy and an awesome player. To Jay above, he ran around 200 at the derby a few years back and also over 200 at amsterdam so I think that might count as being able to play straight pool!:smile: https://youtu.be/QzGjIyj2pvU https://youtu.be/keeysMWN9aE
I'd take alex for the cash over almost anybody.

What a wonderful man. I inquired about some of his products. I had no idea I was talking to a champion until we almost hung up. Classy guy.
 
Either Earl, Dechaine or Jack Hines. ;) Just waiting for the grenade to go off is worth the price of admission.
 
I will go with earl but do like to watch the guys who have there chin on the cue to see if they gona get splinters..
 
My favorites ever: Efren Reyes, Nick Varner, Luther Lassiter

All around greats I, sadly, never got to watch: Harold Worst, Eddie Kelly

My current favorites: Alex Pagulayan, Francisco Bustamante, Justin Bergman

Well, we're talking all around, which to me means ALL games..

So, back in the day, Efren Reyes... he even played 3C sporty.

Before Efren?... Ronnie Allen. Before he was a One Pocket
legend, he was a runout 9 ball player.. not sure about other games.

Close second?.. Jose Parica. Played ALL games for the cheese,
he'd play anyone.

Now?.. Dennis Orcolo. The guy has the same determination
and talent for all games. That 1P match with Alex where he
was down like -2 to Alex's 6.. Dennis grinded it out for the win...
that's heart right there.

Close second? Busty and Shane... both have brought their
One Pocket game up big time.

Dennis, Alex, Shane.

I actually like watching Shaw playing all out offensive 1p too, on the rare occurrence that he does.
