You have one multiple world champion and 35 , shoulda woulda couldas, no disrespect meant. they just for one reason or another, never found their way to the world class level. some of them are excellent players , but lots of excellent players , couldn't cross the finish line. Nick will run walk crawl, burrow , whatever it takes to finish first. That's why he's a champion.would be curious who is your 1-5 favorite to win
Good pick, but Nick has actually been playing in this for the last few years -- and has yet to win it. That tells you how leveling a factor age can be right there. That's the beauty of this tournament, along with the fact that EVERYBODY playing knows One Pocket inside and out for like 50 years each lol.You have one multiple world champion and 35 , shoulda woulda couldas, no disrespect meant. they just for one reason or another, never found their way to the world class level. some of them are excellent players , but lots of excellent players , couldn't cross the finish line.

Efren wonNo Ike either? Didn't he win it last year?
I did not know he had been playing, man, he must have gotten loose as a goose in his old age, spending real dollars and not cashing in big, was just not his style. I hope he is ok.Good pick, but Nick has actually been playing in this for the last few years -- and has yet to win it. That tells you how leveling a factor age can be right there.

he seemed fine when i met him at the tourneyI did not know he had been playing, man, he must have gotten loose as a goose in his old age, spending real dollars and not cashing in big, was just not his style. I hope he is ok.
I played last year and didn’t play well. Houston doesn’t agree with me and tournaments.I am rooting for our regulars and California friends too, but history says they may be up against it. This is the first year Jim the Pilot can play, so let’s hope he goes deep, and Newkirk is liable to beat anybody if he has been playing enough.
James Davis Sr is not on the list. He split one with Ike, won the next one, and was second to Efren last year.
We have four players from NorCal in the lineup, and Dave (12squared) and I have an old friend we played with years ago In the mix as well. Good luck Mike ‘Chicken’ Hoyt. Mike moved to Texas years ago. We called him Chicken because he never went for his hole. Mike, I hope that has changed. Dave and I will be rooting (Not betting) on you.
OK I'll take Varner and Wiseman. Anyone else want to jump in with two players?I'll take Jim the Pilot and Mr Texas Robert Newkirk, someone pick two and get some sweaters cashola down.
