- Earl Strickland accused Efren Reyes of Being Lucky in This Match, Efren Reyes Moments-PoolTrickShots
Along their careers as pro pool players, both the Magician Efren “Bata” Reyes and Earl “the Pearl” Strickland have faced against each other countless times. Their matches are always amusing to watch because both players are considered as two of the greatest pro pool players of all time. That’s why they’re the ones chosen to play in single-match events named Color of Money and Color of Money II. Among those matches between Efren Reyes and Earl Strickland, there’s one match that seems to be quite underrated because the match didn’t take place at the top of a pool tournament, but just in the third round of a pool tournament, thus making it an insignificant tournament. However, it’s not Strickland if he doesn’t make something common dramatic because in the match, he accused Reyes as being lucky for winning the match. So, how did the match that took place in the third round of the 2006 International Pool Tour North American Open 8-Ball Championship? Here it is.
Number 5.
Pre-match interview. Before Earl Strickland and Efren Reyes had their match in the third round of the 2006 IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship, they were both interviewed. In the interview, Strickland was asked whether he was intimidated by Reyes because Reyes was the champion of the first IPT event in 2005, the IPT King of the Hill 8-Ball Shootout. However, instead of answering yes or no, Strickland answered with a bold statement, saying that it was Reyes who felt a little pressure when he knew that Strickland was playing well. That’s a very bold statement for a player who was going to face against the champion of the event before, or we can say, the defending champion of the event. However, that’s how Strickland is. On the other hand, Efren Reyes stated in another pre-match interview that he had to concentrate and play well, especially with the likes of Strickland. He also said that he’s always nervous no matter who he’s facing. Now, that’s Efren Reyes for you! He always has great attitude and sportsmanship.
Number 4.
Rack 10. Let’s jump to the tenth rack of the match between Efren Reyes and Earl Strickland in the third round of the 2006 IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship. In this point, the score was 5-4 with Reyes leading the match. He was also the one who made the break shot in the tenth rack. Fortunately, his break shot was strong enough to be able to pocket a ball. After that, he just calmly pocketed the other 7 balls one by one, including the last ball, the 8-ball, and eventually won the tenth rack, leaving Strickland sitting on his chair the entire rack. With that, the score became 6-4 with Reyes still leading the match.
Number 3.
Rack 12. Let’s jump again to the twelfth rack. However, the eleventh rack was won by Earl Strickland, thus making the score become 6-5 with Efren Reyes still leading the match. The twelfth rack started with Strickland making the break shot. Unfortunately, his break shot wasn’t strong enough to pocket any balls. So, it was Reyes’ turn next. Reyes didn’t waste the opportunity and started to pocket striped balls one by one until there were no striped balls left on the table. Then, he aimed for the 8-ball and pocketed it with ease, allowing him to win the twelfth rack. With that, the score became 7-5 with Reyes still leading the match. So, it means that Reyes was only 1 rack short to be able to beat Strickland in the match because the match was a race-to-8 match.
Well, that’s the match between Efren Reyes and Earl Strickland in the 2006 IPT North American 8-Ball Championship where Strickland accused Reyes of being lucky.

Efren has the best line, 'The more I practice, the luckier I get."
Yes that is what kelly Slater says as well
This applies very nicely to music improvisation. More generally to life itself.
That line is actually from Steve Mizerak and not Efren!
@@WillieDines1
It's actually attributed to Gary Player way before any pool player, and I'm sure someone said it before him.
LOL
I liked Efren’s comment, “If you didn’t make the shot, how could you win?” I used to race motocross, and when the other guys were mad at me I used to say, “I’m easy to beat, all you have to do is just go a little faster.”
All aspects of life is a gamble. Luck is also a very important part of any kind of game. A combination of great skill & luck separates the champions from the losers.
JORA ✌🇵🇭
LOL. Earl said Efren was lucky just to get under his skin. That's called playing mind games, psychological warfare. I'm almost certain that deep inside, Earl knew Efren was one of the greatest ever. In fact, during Efren's Farewell Tour in Germany, Earl said that the Filipino was the best he's ever played against.
Everyone knows Earl is such a character, very competitive to the point of being unpleasant against opponents. Some might even describe him as ornery but against Efren he's...just different. The respect he has for him is unmistakable. If you're familiar with these two, you know what I'm talking about.
Mind game is done before or during the game. This was after Strickland lost, so he was just being salty.
@@idakristinedemesa5234 yup. Strickland just a sore loser. 😂🤣
In thirty years how many fans has he addressed or even looked at in the eye? How many autographs? I can tell you, it's not many. He's bad for growth. Now McCreaty knew how to be a dick and make people fall in love with him.
Really? Mind games are played BEFORE the match. Post match jabs are ungentlemanly and unsportsmanlike. That's the old fashion way and that's the RIGHT way
Everybody needs luck in life, plus skills makes you hard to beat. Efren the G.O.A.T.
SVB the goat now
Efren in a retirement home
@MichaelJMusic69e'll be scared of SVB titles, as no living human or Filipino can touch his titles. So your "top guns" aren't that good. Filipino Efren could only win 1 US Open 😂 while Earl and SVB are the only humans alive with 5 each, and earls last title was over 23 friggin years ago. SVB the only human alive to win 3 in a row. Filipino Efren is just good all around player but not master or specialist of anything. So Efren or any Filipino currently have any special exclusive title no one else already has, unlike SVB or Earl.
Be afraid of that: titles, achievements, what people can really do. If your top gun so good tell them to win some US or world titles because I don't see them touching SVB or Earl
I don't like luck as it's not predictable. "The more I practice, the more god-like I become." As we tape into the god within is all. And being a lefty means I'm already at god level compared to right hander (Google it to learn something new).
Funny thing Efren really is lucky, that's why he could only win 1 US Open no matter how much he tried (only coming in as a runner up) but Earl has 5 lol. All Earl titles out shadow Efren by far as Earl has titles as the only human on earth, no title Efren has is special or exclusive .
Humble makes champion
Se puede ganar un torneo por la suerte!! Pero no se ganan tantos, Efrén a ganado muchísimos torneos!! Para mí es simplemente EL MEJOR!! THE MAGICIAN!!
De acuerdo, la suerte existe y a veces juega.
Earl just said because of course of frustrations but earl acknowledge efren is the best pool or greatest pool player of all time
Earl S. is one of the worst prof. pool player with attitude. He is like drama queen during the match. I would prefer to watch his games without volume turned on.
Just 9-ball, Strickland was just as good as Reyes. People hate that for some reason, but it's the flat out truth. I guess it's Earl's personality, but to me he was a competitor. Yeah sometimes he ran his mouth and said stupid stuff, but he just wanted to win. I think that it always bothered him that at the height of pool's popularity in America, being American, people rooted for Reyes over him. Reyes was a likeable guy and a great person, it's impossible to not love the guy - I just think that Strickland felt disrespected.
In any match, skill is important but one needs luck too.. It s part of a game.
Efren went savage right there: "How can you win when you can't pocket the ball?" 😂😂
Sometimes you come across someone (regardless of at what) that does things that normal people can't understand.. so it is easier to blame intrinsic luck. But these people continue to do supernatural things over and over.. I am therefore compelled to say they mean what they do and are simply more skilled than others.
You can be lucky only if you are too good.
Skills+magic=Goat
😁Having the luck and/or being lucky will ALWAYS be part of ANY game, irregardless who has it. The end part of ANY game will ALWAYS point to the player who has the BETTER SKILLS, and in this Video, it showed it was Reyes, NOT Strickland! 😄✌
Earl always knew Efren was better but never gave up, that we gotta give him! He’s always been mouthy and tried to talk his way into Efren’s mind but it has never worked, Efren has always had such a mindset from years of playing for money since a young age that works
Words can’t throw his game off. He’s a very kind person and never went down to earl’s level, kept always king comments, humble demeanor, and a positive attitude! I never heard him talking bad of any opponent ever! Great guy!
I think you're right. Earl was a trash talker but i think only to try and throw off opponents. He gambled it was worth trying. Hard to beat the goat.
Luck is a part of cue sports regardless of which discipline it is. Very important to lose gracefully and win with humility. Very difficult to do if it’s not part of one's character.
The Reyes Strickland rivalry produced consistently interesting matches. No blow outs, amazing shots from both players and a fast pace. Such rivalries are a rarity in sports and games. During Efren's farewell tour, Strickland publicly stated that Efren was the best. But i once read somewhere that Earl has a winning record against Efren. I wonder if that's correct.
Efrem is a skillful player in the world' he is not lucky but a tough always"
YOU HAVE TO PLAY WELL ENOUGH ,TO BE ABLE TO GET LUCKY
They both are great..Efron is kick butt tho
I have a Friend and We played Golf regularly in the Past.. He was Better than me, and playing Him for $ elevated my Game.. He Would Combine $10 (for win of Hole) and $10 extra (for win of Hole by Birdie) bets with more than 1 Active PGA Touring Pros).. His Statement was the Same as Efren's.. "The More I Practice, the Luckier I GET".. When I Won, it was Simply Breaking EVEN.... Grow Up Strickland.. Efren sat you Down.. Lol
Where have you seen an unlucky winner
A little John McEnroe in Strickland. 😦
the more skils Efren has, the more lucky he gets :-)
Strickland's comment was middle school recess level. However anytime one makes a comment even a harmless or even accurate one about someone as universally loved as Efren, its like blowing into a dog's face.
Efren is very lucky. He is lucky he was born to be the GOAT.
My motto always was "I'd rather be lucky than good"😜. Maybe Earl's just unlucky 😅
Yes. You *do* need luck at times but it's quite telling that Efren will openly say he got lucky, not as a joke, but genuinely means it. Everyone needs and sometimes gets just that bit of luck to give them the edge. That said, 9/10 shots for either of these guys is pure skill
He’s just lucky…best player ever
Who in right senses calls the GOAT lucky
Actually Strickland got lucky can play match with Reyes .
Reyes is a legend !
Great video 🎉
Erl's attitude contribute to his lack of luck. 🤗
If that's Strickland's thinking I should say all his winning are pure luck not skill
Efren Is The Greatest Of All Time
They have teamed up was a neat match to watch
NO such thing as luck. LUCK is L abour
U nder
C onstructive
k nowledge
Strickland has a big ego. Can't accept other's greatness. Anyway, he even made Reyes being much love in the world of pool. Truly, humility brings greatness, but boastfulness and arrogance will rather make or break a player
The man is great at his game everyone get a little luck but he whipped his ass
if you lost you will say to your oponent he is lucky but if you win you will say that you are a great player
Strickland should blame his shi*tluck during that day😁😁😁
I like earl bcuz earl is not a great nine baller he's excellent the pocketing the thinking and the execution even efren said earl is very very hard to beat bcuz of earl's execution but sometimes earl's attitude and sportsmanship is disappointing unlike efren even in winning he always say he got lucky
He's always saying that he is "lucky." What a humble guy! 😅
Being lucky is always on your side if you are skillful. The more skillful you are the more lucky you become.
I am who I am, love me or hate me. THANK YOU TO ALL MY FANS!
Earl Strickland is still the Man
if Earl and Efren played together during their childhood it would be a different story. both are legends.
Earl still has more titles, Efren couldn't even win the US open more than once and Earl won it 5 times along with the real goat SVB
That’s one game efren is good at 8 ball one pocket ect pool has multiple games I do think earl is the best 9 ball player ever but in the color of money race I’m pretty sure efren beat him a race to 120 or whatever they raced to when ur as good as them two it’s kind of just who gets going when earl is on fire he’s hard to beat but efren send to have more tricks up his sleeve like the z shot that shot was insane under the circumstances
Efren...is a special player of pool... i've been very entertained...with him....soon as i have the time..i watch this magician entertain me... thanks Efron.,.
The Michael Jordan of 🎱 Billiards
The narrator is incorrect in that Strickland did admit to being intimated before saying that Efren was also intimidated when he was playing well.
whatever,, the pearl has always been the mountain for the goat to climb,,, all their matches will never be matched😊
Strickland is nothing but a spoiled brat. He's just a tournament player that would have been beaten death in a real pool hall where respect is all that keeps people alive sometimes.
Locky? He is the best pool player all times
everytime our magician beat the opponent so tough theyve not admit hes beaten plss admit efren reyes is hardly better than anyone so many champions and other hall famer admit he is the goat of pool only magician efren
I dont think the break is Efren's biggest weakness like alot of people think. I think his ability to bail himself out of a rough spot is so strong, he at times, didnt make sure he stayed on the proper side of his next ball. He rarely under-rolls position, he almost always over-rolls, because of the length and power of his stroke. Thats from playing in harsh conditions in the Philippines
Best said. If a player blames his opponent for being lucky, he just admits he is not worthy.
They play in the middle of a jungle there, such a harsh conditions it even subtle change pool rules and physics itself. That's what they meant when said he went savage on that, right?
Guiness book of world record. No body can match Efren .Precise calculation of direction of the ball towards the pocket...
You have to be lucky to be good, and good to be lucky,
Wayne Gretzky
Última cena inacreditável
EFREN is Lucky because of God give Him talent/skill in Billiards/pool.
Ayaw tumangap ng pagkatalo kaya ganyan an katuwiran ni Strickland.
Luck does play a big part too...
Efren is lucky because he’s good what he does.
Primarily it is the skills and luck i believe...
Efren, in short: "the more I practise, the more lucky I am"
Dans mon pays on dit que la chance suive les braves . Efren Bata Reyes est un brave homme , pour oser jouer tout les shots même les plus improbables…. Lui les rends magnifiquement possible 💪💪💪🎱🎱🎱 Meilleure joueur de tout les temps .
Wauuu efren reyes
How come lucky if efren bata reyes always won the race facing with bigtime pool players around the world, if you lost the game accept it wholeheartedly no more alibi mr earl strickland. Efren bata Reyes is best pool players of all time. No one can ever contest that
no one can beat efren at his prime i remember he said no one wants to play against him so he stop playing and switch to karom
Nope.. that wasn't Lucky shot!
its the results of great practice!
how come you show up.. and do it many times in official game?
thats what we called = CONFIDENCE!
I say Earl should practice getting lucky and then he wouldn't have to complain.
Good players are always lucky.
This was such a confusing video.
Earl is a good pool player, but Efren is the best, I keep watching him played billiards in Lucky 13 in Manila ,
Strickland doesnt practice enough
It's kind of like gambling at the horseracing its better to be lucky than good at handicapping the horses
Strickland is what Mariah Carey was to Whitney Houston he was born in wrong ERA cause Efrem is the GOAT IS IN THIS ERA
He let his alligator mouth overload his humming bird as
Reyes was already revealing his tricks. Some of the proof that he's not just fluke
Lucky is winning a few games in a 100+ person tournament (of any kind) skill is taking home the trophy.
Efren Reyes's studies in the field of Billard have been very long, all the angles of the difficult turn so we can't say that it was lucky. Because he is doing everything he learned in the game of billiards.
Efren is famous for " I just got lucky."
Hey, I’ve played one pocket for decades, and my brother Jeremy, who knows the game as well as anyone will tell you I know the game as well or better than he.. We watch Efren play and just laugh at the shot selection, which for anyone else would be terrible shot selection.. But the execution is so phenomenal, there really are no bad shots.. lol..
Maybe that’s what Earl is talkin, IDK, but I wouldn’t call it luck..
hes always lucky, everytime. hilarious
efren is a superhuman! The GOAT of pilipino athletes
Wtf at least show the clip instead of narrating nothing
Accused, is not the word, claimed is more like it. You're starting a controversy, between the two.
wth... this video is all over the place.
Luck is a good thing ... :)
Confused
Efren is better than Earl. You do not say Lucky in a race to 120 win racks held in Hong Kong " The Color of Money with the Price Money of 100 thousand US Dollars.
Luck deserve by a humble good man. For Bad its a bad luck.
Thats 1 and 2 efren and earl
Always luck in all sports so both are the same just a sore looser!
Strikland, é o cara mais chato e mal educado no meio do snooker.
strickland has a alritude problem
Yes its true but its because hes so passionate about the game/sport of pool hes obsessed with it so much so that he thinks nobody really appreciates the game and has done more for the game of pool then earl has so when he loses i think he gets upset because to him its not a game its his life to other players its just a game and hobby and it pisses him off and honestly i get where hes coming from.. if you really listen to earl behind the excuses and anger there is a lot of truth behind what he says in the most insane way but it truly does make sense.. hes a disturbed man this game has literally driven him ape shit hes had everything and lost everything from his addiction too pool so please have some sympathy for this man he truly needs it i know it seems hard to believe..
My goodness the commentary is just horrendous.
Lucky? Always lucky.
He / you can get played 10-7
Far from lucky
