To all the Pinoys out there familiar with Orcullo's game, how likely is it that Orcullo will make it out of Group 7? How likely is it that he can actually win the whole thing? How much time has Dennis put into straight pool?
This tournament can potentially provide a great data point to help support my hypothesis that rotation is the game that gives you the most
versatility, provided that Orcullo places well in the tourney.
Efren, a rotation specialist, won the Maine straight pool tournament in 1995, and I'm assuming his straight pool experience was limitted at the time (at least compared to the other straight pool greats that participated in that tournament). If another rotation specialist (Orcullo) takes the title away from the straight pool aficionados, it only helps prove my theory that rotation is THE game to play to give you the most well-rounded game.
