Like About Pool: I believe pool is one of the hardest sports to be great at because anyone can play no matter the players height, strength or age. More physical sports players have only strong or tall people to compete against. This makes being the number 1 pool player something special in my eyes.

Dislike About Pool: Short races, lucky formats. I would like to play more tournaments that really prove who the best player is. I'm not a big fan of new breaking rules. I don't think anyone should dictate how a player plays any shot.

Occupation Other Than Pool: House pro
