Dippy vs. Deuel

[Cowboy Dennis]

Dippy getting 18-4 for between $40-$50000. Dave runs 5 & out the first game. In the second game, Dave outmoves Corey safety for safety until he gets a shot and then runs 4 & out. Sweet.

Before the match started Dave got so tired of listening to Strong-Arm John woof him that he ripped up $1000 and threw it at him and told him to go away. John picked up the money and left.

Coupla pics from the Dippy Deuel duel

Sitting right behind Dippy in the first pic is "cornflakes" Hennigan, a former road player and top poker player now. Dippy dragged him and another guy out of the room where they were watching the one pocket tournament to sweat his match.

Unless Dippy falls dead, Corey is in trouble. His game seems more solid as he plays more and more champions.

After Corey tied it at 2-2 they raised the bet and went to 10 instead of 8. Dave won the match just a little while ago, 10-8.

I agree, that is a great shot Steve. I'm jealous you have a lens that will do that. Steve had to work for that view. He was standing up on the counter, in the corner

You have to be careful when the bet is that big in such a small room. You dont' want anyone "noticing" you. I stick out like a sore thumb with a camera in my belly sticking out and and a camcorder on a 6 ft tripod.

So Dippy takes it down this morning 10-8. I woke up about 7 and saw it was 8-8. I wanted to sleep, but dragged myself out of bed, because I wanted to capture the money shot

It was worth it.

for the dippy v. corey match, incisive analysis was needed, so naturally the tar people asked me to moderate. the iq in the room immediately plummeted!

once i was given mod power, i so hoped certain posters from here would show up while i held the hammer in my delicate grip. but i didn't get to boot anyone!

I left on my own just in time before I got hammered. Acturally stream went down and I got tired of waiting.

Ain't that the truth? I heard the total that was bet, not counting side action was $25K, I had heard is was for $40 or $50K but I guess that was just advertising!

I picked up the action at 7-7 and had to leave at 8-8. But I noticed a fatal flaw in Corey. When the balls were on Dippy's side and Corey had to play position to stay behind them for a good run, he blew the line early. I saw two times when he could have gotten 5 or 6 but wound up with only 2 or 3 balls in his runs. Corey runs balls well at rotation, but he was a sitting duck shooting everything at his hole. He doesn't know how to do it.

Dippy also is a fast learner from what I have seen on the streams. He grinds to stay close to even until near the end. Then, he seems to know that the weight makes the champions impatient, and gets them then. He has done a good job. Duell and backer were fools to give him 18-4 if he saw the game with Joyner. I imagine Frost would not give 18-4 now even though he won that way a few months ago.

Dippy has a great shtick. He dresses like a mullet and has a terrible beard like Bret Favre. Everybody is laughing at him and following him around to see what he might do next. And paying him well. I don't think he will get any more 18-4 games for big $$. He plays better than that.

If you can't spot the sucker at the table . . . . .

You're right, Skin. Corey was very foolish, giving Peat 18-4. He could never win at that spot. Actually, Corey runs balls pretty well in 1P. He took several shots at the One Pocket Challenge. But I don't know what his best score was. There were several players up into the 50's! Sooner or later someone will break Gabe's 60.

Actually Corey is the only one that Dippy had never won at, with that spot. I think they've played several times with it, as other champions have with him, but Corey was the thorn in his side.

He said this morning after winning, that he had 3 goals coming here. 1. was to make Cliff Joyner tear his hair out and squirm. The 2nd I'm failing to remember at this point and the 3rd was to beat Corey at that game. He said he accomplished all 3.

I think you will still get a few trying with that spot, but not nearly as many. If Dippy holds firm with it. But likely, because he's won 2 or 3 times with it for big scores (even though he's lost with it in the past and recently, probably 10 times as many as he's won at it) they will hold firm and say he's improved too much, so they might have to negotiate some small gaff spot to compromise.

One things for sure, he has money, he isn't afraid to bet it, 9 times out of 10 he pays it on the spot and gives people that he respects a walking stick, so they players are going to keep wanting to take shots at it.

It's pretty much the only game in town, for those stakes

 

[gulfportdoc]

I don't think Corey can win giving that spot anymore. Playing all these champions, Peat's game has improved. As Hendy says, Peat usually takes the right shot, is good at digging out opponent's pool balls, and doesn't rattle for the big dough. He can also run out.

I'm sure Peat will remain a big score for any pro who can get the money put up behind him. But giving him 18-4 is going to be history...

My guess is that he's going to have to start playing lesser players with less weight, or be willing to go to 5 with the big guns.

Every few years these guys like Corey find someone who might lose $10 or $20 thousand. There might be 1 or 2 guys who are gambling big like that with good players across the country. In my short-lived pool playing career and newfound jock-sniffer status, someone like Dippy who will lose over $100 thousand comes along once every 10-20 years. And guys like Corey are foolish for firing at it? Unbelievable. Call them foolish for what they do with the money once they win, not for taking a shot at it.

As you point out Senor, a whale/sucker is a rare thing indeed. Even rarer, is the pool player, that doesn't have a way to blow his cash ASAP...(Horses, cards, women, booze, drugs, etc., pick one or all) If they make a decent score, few seem to be smart enough to buy a decent car, or put a down payment on a house...In the past, pool players (myself included)...used the toothpick/lumber yard mentality and, sometimes it actually worked...It can be a very addictive life syle...Easy come, easy go..

I have no idea where Dippy stands now, but I imagine he is still pretty well stuck. His main forte has been to make them bet nose-bleed high. Some dogged it, some didn't.
He is no dummy, and he appears to have improved his overall game considerably.

Have you noticed, there also seems to be more well heeled backers/stakehorse's ready to fire at Dippy's B/R...Or maybe its just the inflation factor. It seems
10K, 20K, (and up) action is a lot more prevailent, than 2 to 3K action, ever was in my day. (except for Jack Cooney )

With some very minor tweaks, or gaffs, I think they will continue to put good player's (and good $$$) in the box with him. He is so erratic and unpredictable, they all hope to really get his nose open, and catch him on an off day...But, his 'off days', are improving rapidly..JMHO

I'm not sure why that is either Duck. Nothing wrong with players wanting to win as much as they can when they can, but financiers want to put all the money on one set. When I played, a lot of good pool players were grinders as well. I know there are still grinders out there, but it seems in order for people to get the good action they are obliged to post it all on one race.
