Straight Pool is the No Limit Poker of Pool. I am going to have to introduce it to my subscribers. I started playing 14.1 when I was 10 years old. It's a shame that a lot of players no nothing about it.
The best players know how important the skills learned from 14.1 translate into the other games. 3 cushion billiards as well, so important to learn and watch. Thanks for commenting.
My name is Bridgeport pistola' I started playing pool at the age of 7" in my grandfather's garage,at the age of 12" I was playing straight pool at Park City pool hall,in Bridgeport Connecticut,every pool hustler in the country back then came to this pool room that includes Minnesota fats & Willie mosconi, the pool room closed up when I was 14" that's when I and the other players would play at Stratford town fair or Milford recreation, to me straight pool is still the best game to play and teach new coming player's the real meaning of pool,
i tend to lean towards the commentators explanation, that mike probably can't help himself. to me it doesn't matter though, as long as he's silent when not at the table. legendary player, mike sigel
This is Bridgeport pistola'! If you're so great on the pool table,how come your not in this tournament all you fish on the sidelines talk alot of shit about these great player's,why don't you challenge mike sigel to play you any game for any amount you can afford
It's customary to shake your opponent's hand after a match, but I've noticed that that's not necessarily the case in straight pool. And I thought this was a gentleman's game :P
3 cushion billiards is a gentleman's game. pool has NEVER been, even close, to being a gentleman's game. sadly, it's a bum's game, which is why there is no prize money. no respectable corporation wants their brand associated with pool.
REALLY GUYS (COMMENTATING)?!! Yes Mike talks to himself, a designated yes man, the crowd to calm his nerves! Also, getting sharked when the guy is at the table after you dogged it. REALLY?!!! :\
@@JohnS-il1dr The IPT? lol. Mike had been professionally retired for almost 15 years before the IPT rolled around. How well do you think a guy plays in retirement? The IPT in no way should be used as a measurement of Mike's top game. If you base it on when both players were in top form, Mike came out on top. You can ask Efren, if you like.
@@raphcleary4706 According to a search Efren has won around 70 major titles. Where Sigel is 100 and something. But, the key here is to look at the length of each’s career. Sigel retired quite early when still playing top level pool, from boredom and no money in the sport.
@@uvafan940 Mike Sigel won 100 titles, a lot of those titles were 500 dollar events with many top players not in them. Efren won over 100 International titles, in much bigger events, throughout America, Asian & Europe. Anyways both great players, but 95% of the pool world says Efren.
Ain't no one can cry like Mike, not even Earl.

"I'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous" buahaha!!!
Over the other commentators head.
Mike Sigel = legend! Tremendous player and entertaining as well.
Sigel still has such a beautiful stroke it amazes me. It looks so nice the way he plays.
sfincione2000 bakit kaya ang daming dak2 ng kalbong ito pareho sila ni earl.
'cause he practices his stroke in the bathroom..!
say what you want about mike, but the guy can play.........

He runs his mouth nonstop whether at the table or not. Whatever, he's one of the best ever so I guess it works for him.
so this is straight pool parica really stretch to break!
Here is Jose Patricia the grand master of the Philippines when it comes to playing pool
I said Jose Parica,but I was speaking into the mic
Mike seagull not only lost his hair he has lost his mind. What a winer white or red?

As the Late Great Miz said of Mike Sigel: Spectacular.
It's customary to shake your opponent's hand after a match, but I've noticed that that's not necessarily the case in straight pool. And I thought this was a gentleman's game :P
He shook his hand at the end of the match, but the other player was off camera. At 50:30

Mike is introvert.

Efren never won a straight pool tournament of note.
@@ivanmcpcpherson2407 1995 Maine 14.1 Championship
Why does this guy always shake his head and have a wad of chewing gum in his mouth?
REALLY GUYS (COMMENTATING)?!! Yes Mike talks to himself, a designated yes man, the crowd to calm his nerves! Also, getting sharked when the guy is at the table after you dogged it. REALLY?!!! :\
Mike is deeply in love with himself, but no one understands why...! 🤮

Efren Reyes shut him up
I believe Mike's tournament and gambling record with him says different. :-)
@@uvafan940 true but he blew away Mike at the IPT with 200k which makes up for the cash losses in the past. And Yes IPT settled out of court

Mike the mouth. He never shuts up.
is that why this video has no sound?
Max you couldn’t carry his jock strap
borring 14 1
said the guy who cant play 14.1 lol
This fish probably never held a pool stick on his life, he probably has more fun racking balls
Sigel was the best when Efren was still in Manila, then went to the USA pretending to be someone else and took over!
Mike Sigel was a legend, but Efren is the GOAT!
