    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..
    It doesn't matter if you're the better player.
    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?

    Efren is an absolutely beautiful man. He has a quiet demeanor and is humble as can be.

I just recently started to watch these pool tournaments and come to absolutely love this man. No bull crap, just a killer pool master that doesn’t brag. How can you not love and respect a man like that in today’s world.

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

    Him talking alot was just his defense mechanism. He's obviously felt humiliated bc didn't score at least one. He lost his concentration or he was never ready for this match. He seems disturbed and pressured that's why he missed those shots for a pro like him. One, two, three missed shots is acceptable but like throughout the whole match? He wasn't in his mental condition for this match that's why he missed even those shots that even amateur can pull off.

      That's part of sports actually. It's different when practicing than when playing sports against someone who's very good and you're getting humiliated in front of many people. It would take a lot of courage to get a hold of yourself

      To be fair he didn't get many chances throughout the whole match

    Mike segal is an awesome player. There’s no reason to mock someone you’ll never beat in a game.

    I really like Efren Reyes he is such a humble man and one of the very best shooters to ever play this game.. he deserves to win that prize and trophy.. He truly is a magician on the table..
