      I was lucky enough to speak with CJ over the course of 3 days back in 96' when he walked away from tournament play, he had 2 clubs going already, he talked about making way more money in money games out here than any tournament, but next to Earl at his best, CJ was the best naturally gifted player i've ever seen, the table just came easy to him, he was a ridiculously good shot maker

      The key to playing better under pressure is to not care to lose. It's just a game, maybe with some $ on it as well, but your life isn't on the line. Even the best pros get beat occasionally by people they shouldn't get beat by, don't forget that.

    This match carried the drama of a Maury "Paternity Reveal", I loved every second of it! The commentator just wouldn't let up on Earl, good thing he couldn't hear the guy. The useless bridge was hilarious! Earl's like "Really? Is it just me or? Professional tourny, my rump, I'm done with this".

  • @kriskringle6173

    I didnt get started that way but I did use to rack the balls for the older guys and I'd get free pool for doing it.
    Along with some cash..those guys would play one pocket for a day n a half/ 2 days sometimes.
    But I was young. I lived in a pool room. I'd stay the night pretty regularly. And I'd get paid 100-200 for tracking and sometimes theyd be so tired by time they were done theyd pay me to drive them home.
    Those were the good ol days no doubt.

      Advantages of closed v. open bridges. Chin on cue, flexible wrist, shoulder over cue, dominant eye, tangent line, ... LR wood & carbon fiber shafts ..

    Remember watching this in August of '07 dead broke playing in the Ritz Bowling alley on State St. in SLC; where Dennis happened to be practicing and same room as Mike Massey (in '03) and his European Trick-shot friend during Mike's shark case era before Katrina I think? This is 100% conjecture, but this match was the perfect storm marked by the end of the gambling era(very generally) and the rise of what some of the harder-core players viewed as a flimsy, made for TV type 9-Ball. Courtois's analysis was a burned-out and frustrated often sophomoric retaliation against said game trajectory. Though highly amusing in spots, on deeper assessment quite sad to pluck the 'low-hanging fruit' of someone battling behavioral health difficulties. Van Boening came to prominence and shortly after was the Euro-robot 9-Ball Show. Ironically, Courtois's caustic sense of humor marked the beginning of the end of Pool Rooms in the US. And, to find a good 9-Foot table w/ enough action too at least cover table time is nearly a thing of the past.

    • @jamesdavis8731

    Earl appears to be in some sort of physical pain; he doesn't want to be here. Despite a few flashes of his usual brilliance at the table, he's suffering from some condition that's keeping him out of the game.

    Man after really giving this game a close look it almost looks like Earl is dumping this something just doesn’t look right about this game to me just saying I know CJ is a great player but something going on in this game

    I don't care how bad Earl played or how dark his mental state was at (many) games, his explosive or some would say negative attitude...
    He is still one of the Greatest pool player that ever live, and watching him play is a luxury to the eyes, either he wins or loses, that smooth straight strokes and shots he made is just... I've never seen a better stroke. Nowadays maybe Jayson Shaw is closest to him when it's about pocketing balls, but Earl's stroke felt more "good" in my eyes, so satisfying to see him play.

  • @physicsguybrian
    @physicsguybrian Před 10 lety

    It is disheartening to see Earl give up like that. It is also very bad for the game in general. I know this was quite a long time ago and Earl seems to be doing ok but still has outbursts and tantrums. It is sad really since he has such good talent.

    • @kathykeegan6504
      @kathykeegan6504 Před 5 lety +3

      Earl is manic/depressive. It can affect his game if he is under or over medicated. It's dr diagnosed. It looks like his dose is messed up for this match. It's all legal, but it can happen.
      I'm on medication myself. I have seizures. Same difference. You have to keep the meds at the right level to function.

    Prior to this, CJ and Earl had litigation, CJ didn't pay Earl the 1 million that Earl won in the "1 MIllion Dollar Challenge." I bet Earl's attitude had something to do with this, maybe not though.

    earl reminded me of mike Tyson boxing lenox lewis with no enthusiasm , but what struck me as a pool player ,,,,,,,,,, earl was very tentative on and finesse shots or speed shots and when his head was kind of in this the only balls he did pocket with confidence were the harder fuller shots ,,,,,,, when it came to touch shots he didn't feel the speed of this diamond table ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ,,,,,, I RAN 11 RACKS OF 9 BALL ON A GOLD CROWN THAT PLAYS EASIER , BUT ON THEESE DIAMONDS EARL PLAYED WITH NO CONFIDENCE .

    I have no doubt Earl was/is a world class pool player. But him slumped in his chair with his head down. Walkin to the table with his head down etc. That is childish. Trying to shark people, playing little games all the time..and this guy is a true professional .
    I can stand that crap. That's why I dont like Earl as a person. Hell of a player but..yea.
    Also..and I dont ever say it while playing because I'm trying to stay focused on task at hand. But that clapping these idiots do after every shot.. honestly.. how about you at least finish the game. If not the match really.
    You're gonna clap for me after I pocket a ball? That doesnt even mean anything. I can make all the balls but miss the 9 and I lose.
    All the while these idiots are steadily clapping away.
    I mean I dont get paid for claps. Keep that nonsense to yourself.
    If you gotta clap wait till theres a winner. Then clap. Clap when the work is done.
    You can clap during inyroduction.
    And clap when the winner is awarded the cash.
    That's the appropriate times to clap.
    Any other time you're just trying to shark me.
    Certainly not making a friend by me with that shit.
    I do agree with Earl on that much
    Altho mentioning it in the middle of a match is probably not the best time.. they're gonna keep doing it and it's just gonna amp up the annoyance.
    People clapping for me when I make a shot is no different than me following you around the grocery store and clapping every time you put something in your buggy that I like..smh.
    I'm not playing for you.. .. ok? I didnt get into pool to impress you.
    Nothing about me has anything to do with you.
    But if you insist on clapping,
    Clap when the match is over.
    Clap when I've won.
    Or even if I lose you wanna clap to tell me you enjoyed watching anyway? That's fine. At least it's over at that point.

    * UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST U.S. OPEN 9 BALL MATCH I HAVE EVER SEEN BETWEEN 2 WORLD CLASS PLAYERS ( INCLUDED IS 1 HALL OF FAME MEMBER & ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS TO EVER LIVE ) - BETWEEN ALL OF THE MISSED SHOTS - SCRATCHES ON THE BREAK - FOULS AND POSITION ERRORS ... I KNOW " EVERYONE HAS OFF DAYS " - YET IT IS THE TOTAL COMBINED COMBINATION FROM BOTH PLAYERS IN THIS MATCH THAT MAKES IT JUST NEARLY UNBEARABLE TO WATCH - EARL NEEDED A " LEGAL STIMULANT " - ONE LONG FAT LINE BEFORE THIS MATCH INSTEAD OF THE 5 XANAX BARS IT LOOKS LIKE HE TOOK - AND C.J. SURE WASN'T " FULL OF ENERGY AND CONFIDENCE " HIMSELF - AFTER WATCHING EARL PLAY FOR DECADES IT IS CLEARLY OBVIOUS THAT HE SUFFERS FROM SOME TYPE OF MENTAL ILLNESS ( MOST LIKELY MANIC DEPRESSION DUE TO HIS SEVERE AND FREQUENT MOOD SWINGS ) - THE U.S. OPEN IS ONE OF ... IF NOT THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS 9 BALL TOURNAMENTS ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH - AND SPECTATORS TRAVEL FROM FAR AND WIDE - PAY $$ GOOD $$ MONEY $$ TO WITNESS AND EXPERIENCE WORLD CLASS COMPETITION - IF EARL STRICKLAND WAS JUST A UNKNOWN - UNPROVEN 9 BALL PLAYER AND ACTED LIKE THIS - THESE COMMENTATORS AND SPECTATORS WOULD RIP HIM A NEW A$$ H×LE !! - THERE SHOULD BE A REVERENCE & RESPECT - A ALMOST SUPERNATURAL FEELING TO CONDUCT YOURSELF TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE AT TOURNAMENTS LIKE THE U.S. OPEN ! ... " GLORY BE TO THE WAR - AND ALL THE LESSONS IT HAS IN STORE " !! - SO MOTE IT BE ! *

    I once demolished a superior player in a big city tourney opener. No doubt my guy could win 9 out of 10 against me. Wiley is showing this victory over Strickland for 2 reasons. Dummies would think Wiley was competitive. He ain't. That's why he quit. Secondly, Wiley wants to make a buck from his extensive pool supply business. My main point, is my victory, I shot well. Wiley shot like crap, cleaned up on several weirdly bad ball rolls, scratches, Earls RARE funky bad brain-fog days, etc. In sports, it happens.
    Wiley never shoots this good, but he smelled blood and collected garbage (easy runs). NOTE: Did Earl make a deal on that $1M prize he took in Wileys pool room earlier? Kinda weird. For me, Wiley may be a hustler ... but not in pool .. ??
    ps: I never made a dime in my tourney.

    It's not only that Earl did not respect the crowd who paid good money and time to see a pro match but he showed them that he thinks he is better than all of them combined. What an idiot, I'm ashamed for Texas that he is from there and I'm ashamed of him.
    Remember when he was shooting in a USA vs Europe match and tried to cheat? No class at all. I'm ashamed he's American.
