    I used to go to my grandfather every summer and he used to play with Efren and he even taught my uncle how to play. They will always play pool while drinking beers or sometimes just talk. I was little back then and Efren was like that drunk uncle that always made the room happy(He'll always give us small kids money when it's Christmas, it's a tradition we call it "Aginaldo" ).
    Sad that my grandpa died years ago and we had to sell grandpa house but Efren still has that smile and his kind heart.

      I have played people who hung around the pool circuit. One would rack for fats and had pictures with all the top players, men and women.
      He played Irwin crain once and got beat.
      He was no slouch played him quite a bit he was in his 80s and pretty much held his own.
      He would go to moose clubs on the small tables and do well,winning the majority of the time.
      I have a friend who played pro, for cash many years until he did not feel it was right hustling pool.
      We sit 1 and 1 and has called me to play.
      I'm currently looking for a new stick,but I haven't had time to go and try it out.
      Currently, I'm using a Carum stick that I should not have played so much with it.
      Now, if I use my old stick, I'm putting way to much English on cue ball

    The lesson is: don't focus on beating your opponent. Focus on playing the game..

    Focus to win not by stepping on your opponent but by improving yourself.
    You really don't have an opponent. You don't have to compete. You don't have to be envious on another's success. Just enjoy the game. That already made you a winner.

    While Sigel is annoying as hell, he caught some seriously bad breaks. He didn't help himself on the couple of opportunities did get either. You can't do that when you are playing the GOAT. He just didn't know it yet. He though HE was the GOAT. Efren's control of the cue ball and mapping of his progressions is like no other I've ever seen. He makes it look effortless. Put all that together with his easy going, humble nature, how can you not love this guy?

    Watching this again just to have a good laugh,observe Efren's facial expression when Sigel talks too much,he was smiling all the way maybe because he thought Sigel was complimenting him for the flawless strokes & perfect cue ball control..or he is just smiling because he have no idea what Sigel is babbling about..Efren only said he got lucky at the end of the video,how on earth does someone win 80 international titles based on luck?humble humble champion you are Efren Reyes

      I absolutely understand where you're coming from but I have to disagree with you in this case. That guy was nothing but rude through the whole thing. Bragged about all his years playing, talked through almost every single shot Efren took. I'm more upset that the reffs didn't say anything to him about being quiet or being disqualified. I've seen them do it in snooker and every other game I've watched. Why does uncle Bob get a pass just cuz he came out the retirement home to play? This guy's a joke as far as I'm concerned. I'm not even gonna brag about my skills on a table but just from watching him, I can almost 100% garontee you I could beat Mr Sigel in a match. I play pretty decent under pressure, especially if the opponent does nothing but talk crap and can't even back it up. He deserved this imo

    I am a noob so I have a few questions. Please be gentle..
    So the rules to win in 8-Ball are:
    1. The first to win 2 sets wins the match
    2. The first to win 8 games wins the set(or so I thought)
    So can someone tell me why 1st set is won with 8 games, but 2nd set is won with 7 games only? What am I missing here?
    I also just found out that you can out the white ball anywhere on the table if the white ball goes in. I always thought that you couldn't put it last the white line where you break from and that you can't shoot any balls behind the line either. Those are snooker rules or something? Do you still get two shots after sinking white ball, missing all balls, hitting wrong color ball first? And there's also a penalty if you hit the right ball but it does not touch the walls? I guess that is to stop players from just kissing the ball and doing cheeky snooker shots repeatedly?
    Also what happens if you're on the 8 ball, but you hit the other players ball first and then sink the 8 ball? Do you still lose instantly or what happens?
    Are there any other rules like this that don't make sense(especially the 7 game set thing) and isn't known by most casual players?
