They both do all things well, but i think schmidt will outshoot him, and gentile has an edge in the thinking. Therefore, in my all knowing crystal ball of experience and understanding schmidt will take this (i know many will disagree). I think wisdom and thinking is overrated in pool, i hate to say it, dont get me wrong, but that is just what i think. That isn't to say of course that you dont need to think very well, but i think you get the point

Hey Ty, we agree on this one. I have never played Chris but I have played Schmidty some 1P and I was blown away. Of the few top players I have played only Scott Frost played better 1P than John.

That is correct Tyler.

It can go either way, and as I posted recently in another thread...they played even for serious $$$ at the last DCC, and they decided to quit when they were even after playing 10-12 hours.

This figures to be a close match, but Chris is traveling to play on a table that John has played on many times. Chris loves to play one pocket he has a passion for the game, plus he has a lot of confidence in himself and he believes he can beat Schmidt. I think it will be a very sharply contested match and it's a flip of a coin. But I would hate to bet against Chris, he's a winner.

I think it is an even match with a little edge to John because this is his home court now.

Too bad it is not streamed. This would be worth paying something to watch.

Usually the guy traveling the longer distance for a head up/wins, usually. Hawiian Brian, perfect example. By the way, which player called up the other to play?

The table they play on, could have a lot to do with it. If its a Crown, I might like Chris..If its a Diamond, and John is familiar with it, that may give him an edge..Also pocket size, could make a big difference..Schmidt has still not convinced me, he knows how to play one pocket. (yet)..

Neutral table, tight pockets, I would take Chris in a heartbeat. But, unless I had all that info, I think I'll pass betting on this one..

Chris is a freak. He has no rattle in him. After I seen him take apart Gabe Owen on a strange Diamond with 4 in. pockets after getting out of the car after a 300 mile drive -- with him driving -- and going right to the table and playing, I couldnt bet your money on anybody else.

Plus Schmidt never learned any one pocket from moi like Chrissy baby
did. If you can shoot good and can then employ my smarts, that is a tough combo to beat.

Oh no, Not another champion 'force-fed trained' by the one and only Beardo...Just for that, I'm taking credit for training RA and Parica..

Uhh, sorry.:sorry I have been saving this because the Efren learning-from-me thing, was so strong, I failed to mention that Parica spent almost as much time in Chicago as Efren and we played often. He was also learning 1pkt at the time. He (Parica) also learned his bank pool from me. :heh Didnt he win 2 bank championships at DCC? (I was giving him a ball back then also)

Heaping a little more coal on the fire, if my memory strikes me, and it does, Luat spent an awful lot of time in my joint also. Now you know why the Pinoys love me.

Freddy, you're very lucky the Duck in slipping in his dotage, I would have destroyed you if you had the bad sense to post something like this to me.

Here's how I would've responded to this comment of yours:

So then, one offsets the other?

I guess you like shooting Ducks in a barrel.

It is so easy that it is not even fun anymore. When he cant hold his own with SczBill anymore, you know he has become helpless.

I guess that makes you pretty helpless since you would not make a game with me at the DCC last year. I only ask you for 8-7 and was willing to donate to your Medicare payments but you said it was too much. How the mighty have fallen.:frus:frus
When I walk into Ca Billiards, they take numbers to play me first.
Everyone wants a lesson from a guy they named a state after.

Saying that Efren learned all he knows from the Beard is like saying one of Carl Sagens professors taught him everything about the universe. Billions and billions of................:sorry:lol:lol

 

[Scrzbill]

If I could I would drive down there to watch the game. Schimdt has been playing everyone the past ten years in one pocket. He is a threat to win every tournament he plays. His biggest problem is playing the safe that will win him the game. He will shoot, rather than be patient. I have to give the edge to him for the match. Its a two hour drive after you get to LA to get there. Can we bribe anyone from Mesa to stream it?

Carl Sagen is very ignorant re the universe. Carl Sagan is the smart one.
