I know, the nerve- talking about pool related things on a pool forum!
Did you know that complaining is grown-up crying?
Tool.

A little. He's among the top few 3C tournament players in the world, world champion more than once, shares the world tournament high run record (31) and might still hold the US tournament high run record (20).

Sayginer is an amazing showman. He is also a soap opera star on Turkish TV and was on ESPN recently in the "3-C Grand Master" shows which was a fancy shot competition against Mike Massey and Eric Yow. I think that between the TV stuff and a lot of exhibitions, his world ranking has fallen off, but he still produces some amazing games. He had a 14-inning game to 50 points in one of the Sang Lee tournaments, and was known as Mr. 3.57 for a while.Ron Cook said:
He sometimes does impersonations of the other players as part of his exhibitions, and he is very good at getting all their little mannerisms down.
ive seen those videos, theyre pretty awesome.
some of the shots are slowed a little though, so it makes it look a little more like the ball floats.
incredible none the less!
I finally found the youtube videos of semih vs yow and massey, great to see some guys from here seriously taking up the game.

I love it when sportsmen do this....
I've seen quarterbacks do dead on impressions of other quarterbacks (usually the greats - Montana, Elway, Marino, Favre, etc.), and it is always hilarious. It's also a HUGE compliment, that he studied everything the other guys did so thoroughly (looking for what he might be able to use to become better). I can't think of the last guy I saw do it (it was some quarterback skills competition), but it was a riot. I've also seen numerous guys do dead on swing impressions (along with mannerisms, and pre-shot routines, etc.) of golfers, and that's just as cool. I can do Arnie and Trevino, but I slice with Arnies swing, and hook with Lee's. LOL

Wow, I had no idea he was an actor as well.
Bob, how close to the absolute top of the tournament 3C world is or was Semih (regular 3C, not trick shots)? I get the impression that he's easily top 10, is that accurate? It seems like the analogy to the pool world would be if someone on the level of a Johnny Archer or an Alex Pagulayan were, in addition to being the tournament players they are, far-and-away the best trick shot artist on a pool table. Pretty unbelievable.

I will admit to alot of the folks on this forum it may seem like neil takes alot of stuff from a few people on here. Thing is the people giving him the business are people that know him day to day.
People who have been playing in a tournament with him when he goes into melt down and screws the brackets all up by walking out after he gets beat buy someone thats not supposed to beat him. He got pissed in one , (i think it was the last one he was allowed to play in ) because he drew the same guy 3 weeks in a row in the first round.
Just packed up his chit and ran home. So I ask once again why does someone that can play that good gotta act like a kid when things dont go his way?
You just walk in the sands any day at any time and ask who never missed a ball that was his fault, answer will always be neil. No click needed .
P.s cant wait till your better for that 6 ball on a barbox. Can I get the breaks too. Maybe if you make the game hard enough on yourself you might catch a gear and play to your potential? Probably not , me thinks youll just get busted.
I don't know why I am even bothering to respond to you, but I will.bigdaddygerald said:
First off, you try to make it sound like you have known me for years on a day to day basis. You must be dreaming about me or something. Which I find very weird and rather disturbing. Because I have hardly ever talked to you. Steve even less, and Curly maybe 2 times in 20 years.
Nice that you accuse me of screwing the brackets all up in a tournament. ( a huge $5 tourn. with all of 10 people in it) Why don't you tell what really happened? That I had been voluntarily spotting people in it. The only reason I was doing that was to make it tough on me. To 'up' my game. Which it did. I was still winning it most of the time. Then for about 5 weeks in a row, I had my 1st match against Steve's (not SDE) buddy. Who happened to be the 2nd best player in it. Now, with random draw, this seems rather odd.
When I approached Steve about it, he started getting all mouthy with me. Which I gave right back to him. I then flat out told everyone ther that he was rigging the brackets. Which ticked off a lot of the lesser players. They have since told me that they were in it to play the better players, and they weren't getting the chance to do so.
Steve got P.O. that he got 'busted' and banned me. Big deal. Then Houston started winning it every week and from what he has said, he would split it with Steve.
As far as the brackets go, Whoever would of had to play me got a buy. So what.
As far as the Sands. Yes. I always have complained about their tables. They suck. Curly wouldn't even hold the George Ellis Memorial Tournament last year because he was too embarrased to have out-of-towners see how bad the equipment is there.
If nobody ever says anything about it, they will never get fixed. For some reason, I was the only one willing to take up the fight. I got tired of paying top dollar to play on crap. Which is why for the past year I seldom go there. And why Jason and Bart are very, very rarely there. It is why there are no players left there except for the ones that only know that place and don't know any better.
As far as me being a crier, yeah, I was in the past. I hate getting beat by the table. I have posted on here, which you know about, how and why that has changed. But if all you can do is bring up the past, have fun. Why not also mention the others there? Like the guy who has broken probably at least 50 house cues in half? Or you and your friends that always want to start some action, but won't get up and play a fair game?
By the way, I never said I'd give you the 6 again. I said 'even'. You want 'locks' one way? Well I guess I will just take 'locks' the other way and see how you like it.
In ending, if you want to keep dragging this up, well, go right ahead. But I won't be responding to it anymore. You have hijacked this thread enough.
One last thing- I have NEVER gotten pissed by getting beat by a lesser player. Actually, most times it makes me feel kinda good inside. Because a lot of times it makes the other persons day to beat a better player. It gives them that little bit of confidence that things are starting to pay off for them, and sometimes it stays with them and their whole game comes up overall. I HAVE gotten P.O.'d that I lost. Who hasn't? But NOT because it was to a lesser player.
Back to the topic. How does he get sooooo much spin on the cue ball? That is crazy spin. If I tried that, I would rip my Simonis in a heartbeat.
I dont know Neil from a hole in the wall. Never read any of his posts, until this one. Mindblowing shots, the U.S. painting guy was amazing, and all of a sudden Neil writes a 1 and a half paragraph about poor him and his untapped potential. So Blackballed, you tell me what does this have to do with this post????
he puts silicone on the table or cueball or both.ask charlie williams he told me they had semih do a exibition in asia and he went to the auto parts store to get silicone spray.thats the only way you can get the conditions to be that slick.you still have to play unreal to do the things hes doing.hes awesome i thinkmetallicane said:
