Floral Island Resort, Talacanen Island, Palawan, PH.
(Mothlike viewers - there's no billiards in this video - just my winter vacation)
During my recent trip to the Philippines, I was fortunate to spend a few days at the enchanting Floral Island Resort on Talacanen Island, Palawan.
It's such a beautiful location and has been very thoughtfully developed by the family who have owned and managed the resort for the last several decades.
If you find yourself in this part of the world, I would not hesitate to recommend you spend some time here.

Holty v The Ghost : 10-Ball : Race to 3
มุมมอง 542หลายเดือนก่อน
After losing 1-3 in the 8-Ball league and 0-2 in last night's 9-ball tournament, I decided a solo practice session was in order. Spent a while just hitting the cue ball up and down the spots to ensure I was hitting center ball, followed by an hour or so of the yo-yo drill before finishing off with a set of 10-ball against the Ghost. Am really glad I recorded this practice session as I was able ...

Hey Mike loved the video I’d like to do a challenge with you sometime
@@ElJefeBilliards sent u dm on insta
You were spot on with me 2 waying my 8 ball vs Brian and also it affecting me making it.
Great commentating by great shooters that know the game! Overall awesome production!
@@dajentleman thanks very kindly it’s much appreciated
Thank you so much for the collaboration and the support! Looking forward to the next challenge match =]
Too slow
Thanks for your comment Troy. This was my first time playing in Vegas and I was a lot more nervous than I would've liked. I ended up playing way too slow and think I made the game harder than needed sometimes. These days I'm trying to play quicker and find a nice rhythm but do miss now and then cos I rushed shots a little - need to find the right balance; shoot as quick I can when it's straightforward but still giving shots the focus they deserve.
@@mothlikeTV That was a rude comment, and I apologize. Everybody plays their own way.
Thanks Jeff, helped by a coupla nice rolls along the way 🍀🤞
Nice out Mike great shot on the 6
Thanks for the feedback, always appreciate it.
These Ghost challenges are tough, but definitely will build your game.
You're so right Nato, the Ghost serves as the ultimate punishment for mistakes and that's a good thing.

Amazing quality - what camera do you use for this?
Hey Lee - thanks for the comment. This was shot with the DJI Osmo Pocket... a phenomenal little camera that packs a punch, capturing really clean 4K video in "D-log Cinelike" which allows for the application of LUT's to boost the highlights and shadows and saves the video in .mov format, with less compression than the more recent Osmo Pocket 2, which only writes .MP4 files and so isn't as clear. I've since invested in the Obsbot Tail Air camera which is superior in that it allows live-streaming and wireless set-up, which is a real bonus. Compare this video with some of my more recent Livestreams and let me know what you think. All the best, Mike
whats the size of the table?
@@carloruivivar8826 these are Predator Apex tables, barbox size 7’

the obs canvas is looking good Mike!
We’re getting there… stream deck is a definite boost, will get better with experience too

Should do a mixed doubles ❤
I’d be keen, need to find a partner…
Thankyou for posting Fargo numbers. From my experience, after 200 games, Fargo numbers are spot on.
Thanks, I'm glad you find those numbers useful!
The average league player will get their bottoms tore up against a Fargo 550. If you don't think so, join and find out.
Holty, nice shot @ 6:10 ! You should be in the LCS finale Masters...wtf?
The very next shot I miscued on the hanging 3-ball!!!
Not sure how Brian missed that jump combo on the 10 @ 3:00....lol I watched like 5x
Yeah I got lucky a few times that night
Great video! Keep it up!!
@@PokerNBilliards thanks v much… I started hitting the ball half-decently. Just trying to keep my head down and get through the cue ball…
May I ask the exact tripod/equipment you use to get such a Tall view of the table?
To get the super-high view of the table, without needing to rely on tables or shelves in the venue, I use a 13' photographic light stand - here's the link for the specific one I use... amzn.to/40mF2kL
As for the camera, I'm so happy I invested in this smart 4K camera, the Obsbot Tail Air... can be used completely wirelessly and easily controlled with my phone, to pan-tilt-zoom, record or livestream... Obsbot Tail Air NDI Streaming 4K, AI Tracking PTZ Camera... amzn.to/44leGQ7
Is the reason this got so many views (16k) because it was at BCA worlds? I’m so curious about the TH-cam algorithm.
Yes it's because it was at the BCA Worlds. That was 2023, my first time in at the event and I recorded a bunch of my matches, which I edited a while later and posted sequentially. I guess the algorithm picked me up and recommended a few videos to people and they got a few thousand views.
On Cue in La Mesa, CA!!!
How does this have only 117 view?!
@@PokerNBilliards …at least it’s 3 figures 😜 got some of our older videos with only 60-70! Hopefully we’re improving our content and slowly growing subs and views. Thanks for commenting - it’s really appreciated
@@mothlikeTV I’ll make sure to check out all the older ones. You deserve more comments and views with the content I’ve seen so far. Let’s get you to 1k subscribers! Keep going!!
@@PokerNBilliards Thanks that's much appreciated

Great tournament Holty, thanks for the stream, now that I see myself playing I know what I need to work on.
Gracias El Jefe! For sure watching yourself playing is invaluable to see exactly what it is you're doing, with good and bad. I make notes with screenshots on my phone when reviewing so I end up with a short list of shots I want to work on and any technical faults I notice that need ironing out...
I wonder what kind of CUE Ms Rosario is using?
Looks very much like Shane Van Boening's. I'll be sure to ask Nellie next time I see her.
That carom off the 1ball to the "10"was amazing!!🎱
Ken does those type of shots all the time, he's very good at caroms, billiards and combos, especially for the money ball!
What an excellent,fair game(sportsmanship)🎱
Thank you Robert. Linda and I always have a great game.
Nice take Holty….Vica was lucky to get there with ya 😂
Hey thanks Tad, was a fun night! I had some pretty sick rolls for sure, maybe I was the lucky one...
Audio comes on at 1:09:33 (on the 8-ball in rack 4 vs Phil Carranza). I live-streamed all my matches (Izzy, Phil, Tad, Vica and Vica again). Plus grabbed coverage of other matches on adjacent tables in between: Jesse Sturm vs Dave Pino, Joe Divona v Emil Adapon, Jeff "El Jefe" vs Chris Crocker, Gus Luna v Emil Adapon, Tad Thurman v Vica Iuli.
Hey Mike it’s Jeff I see her practicing all the time it’s really paying off 👍🏼🎉
She's really doing well. Bev kicked my ass in the league last night!
Hi there Mothlike viewers! I'm trying something new, posting this minimally edited version of last night's BCA 10-Ball league match. The truth is, I'm creating too much video for me to keep up with the editing and so, rather than having an ever-growing backlog that may never be published, I'm planning on posting these long-form versions without commentary as soon as possible after play and reserve the full edit process for special feature matches. Please let me know what you guys think.
Thanks for the update.. Oncue #4 is waiting...
It’s good to know that I’m not the only person that struggles with the Murphy Effect of higher skill level players
It's a very real phenomenon. On the plus side, if you ever do get a win against a Murphy, then to an extent, you can get the monkey off your back and be free to play better the next time you meet.
well played Nayan...
Bunch of elbow droppers lol You guys cut that out, and your accuracy will increase tenfold.
Not sure that's the source of my inaccuracy... ... Ronnie O'Sullivan drops his elbow and he's the GOAT - it's his sweet, pure strike that makes him one of the best cue men in the world.
I can’t believe they won’t put lights up above the tables, these tournaments are so close to being really good! Lights and just a little more room around the tables!
@@tnross23 actually they do put LITTMAN lights above every table, if you look closely you can see them, very bright LED lights as well so illumination and visibility is good… as for room round tables, they have over 300 tables to install and do a great job of creating playing areas separated from walkways etc.
@@mothlikeTV they didn’t last week in Michigan state championship, I never thought to ask before registering and it was rough. I heard they do in the Ohio tournament??
I can see them in this video, u would think it would be a standard in all higher level tournaments.
@@tnross23 I wouldn't know, this is the annual CSI / BCA event the the Rio in Vegas... Think the State championships here in CA is done in association with APA rather than BCA...
Hello Mike.. when are you going to upload the Wednesday BCA 10 ball?
Sorry for the delay - been traveling and have a backlog editing. Will post as soon as possible
wow, the stats feature is pretty cool Mike!
Makes interesting reading, especially the match-ending stats where we've all played 4 racks...
What a shot! 😂🎉
7:05 I called a safety. trying to duck on the 8. didn't like the combo 😅
Thanks Justin, my mistake. Didn’t hear you call safe.
Great commentary Mike!
What was I thinking with that boomerang stroke on the 3-ball in rack 6? I am surprised I didn't dislocate my shoulder on that one.
We all throw in the odd dodgy stroke every now and then, even the pros... seemed you might have cued slightly across the cueball that time...
'Slightly'.... understatement of the month.

What shores? I'll have another large whisky pleashe!
good hit at 54:45
You're right Matt. That's definitely a good hit
the announcers were asking about ball on rail is it legal if you hit at same time; did the que ball hit a rail after ball. I'd say its legal. If you slow motion the contact. The ball hit is quick and the ball will move into the cushion before bouncing back. Even if you hit the rail first its possible to still be contacting the rail after the ball is hit.
Which instance is this you're talking about? The hit at 54:45 is a clean hit on the 6-ball, a stripe dropped in the pocket and both the cue ball and the 6 looked like they hit the rail also after contact
