9 Ball / Efren Reyes VS Tennessee John / 6 Out & The Breaks

[@cayogator]

I'm watchin him autograph those mags, and the mag owners smiling, thinkin bout sellin them ! lol

[@Dancindazed]

23:36 table in the backgrounds balls do a timewarp but there's no loss of continuity in the foreground. 2spooky4me

[@itsHoodStar]

That’s because there was a skip-cut during that second. You can tell because also the guy playing efren, his cue fades aswell… it’s a simple trick in editing….

[@Sammyjeans1]

This guy just lost the right to a nickname. BTW when you chalk the cue and it makes that loud, irritating squeaking sound John seems to love, it means the chalk is just pulling other chalk off the tip. It should sound like sandpaper. It gives away this guy is like a C player. If Efren gave him the the 2 out with the snaps and first shot and he still wouldn't win.

[@uhenio]

poor tennessee john got no business playing efrern ,can't string 2 balls together, When you can't do that , best ask for the 3 an out and the break

[@thefish48]

+uhenio I'm not trying to knock the guy, but he has to business playing Efren I don't think he could win with the 3 out and break and I'm being serious. Maybe he just wanted to throw few bucks away to say he gambled with Efren I don't know.

[@davids11131113]

If this guy is justified to be called 'Tennessee John' then I'm calling myself 'Northern Hemisphere Dave' in the pool hall fucks sakes.

[@POVPOOL]

When you give someone the 6-out it means that they can now win the game by shooting in the 6, 7, 8, & 9 Ball. Efren is only allowed to win by making the 9, but John could win by making any of those four balls.

[@jefferyskelly3769]

Giving an average pool player the break plus the 6,7,8,&the9, and the guy can't win the money with that huge spot, it means Efren Reyes is playing a fish that means the guys game stinks, if your wondering who said this my name in the pool world is Bridgeport pistola', I've been hustling pool since I was 12" years old,and lived in &played inside hard times billiards for 13"straight years so I am well known

[@johnjunior8995]

​@@jefferyskelly3769You couldn't beat Efren with that spot you couldn't beat me if I gave the you 3 out

[@ginkster24]

Whats that thing on Tenn Johns head?

[@DesignsbyDonBrown]

The way he's playing, it might be a blindfold. LOL!

[@JustStef018]

22:15, why is this a foul?

[@usmczippoguy7947]

+Volimplazmu Nothing hit a rail after he hit the one ball. The five was close, but didn't hit it.

[@JustStef018]

+Jeff Davis ooooh, got it, thank you kindly.

[@piraterobber]

"See that guy. He played Efren Reyes."

[@davids11131113]

'Yea, but he got owned with even the 6-out plus breaks' :/

[@piraterobber]

Absolutely. Hope he wasn't betting the farm. He can always say it was close and hope nobody sees this.

[@felixvalenzuela6052]

These are the nights, and type of matches i miss.

[@JohnDisque]

Lots of rail-bird critics here, but I don't see any of you getting up and playing Efren.

[@raymondphillips7107]

John, it's one thing to play with Efren,it's one thing to be nervous. But this guy just looked terrible in every aspect of the game. I am not hating,but if this was fir money,John should have had a better showing than this.

[@thefish48]

+Raymond Phillips You don't have to be know critic, unless you can put some racks together the break is useless far as the six out hell what does it matter if you miss a ball your beat.

[@raymondphillips7107]

What does this have to do with the comment that i made?

[@thefish48]

Raymond Phillips Just saying you don't have to be no "RailBird" critic just have a little common sense hell I may blow a few bucks to see how I stand which I think I play better than Tennessee I'm certainly no were in Efren's league though, but this guy couldn't make two balls.

[@thefish48]

Raymond Phillips I don't know maybe he felt like giving his pay check away. About the only thing he learned from that session was how to rack more, I don't believe I would want people watching a video of me making a fool of myself that's basically what he did.

[@nd_irish_fan744]

Dear John: I'm not trying to be critical, and I don't know if you had a bunch of money on the line. Nonetheless, I'm a very experienced player, and I'm just trying to save you some money. Don't EVER play a world-beater such as Efren (and others) for anything REGARDLESS of the spot they give you. I'm sorry for saying this, but you don't shoot even close to good enough to know what you'll have to have in order win against people of this caliber. If you can't run 3-4 racks of 9-ball in a row on a consistent basis, then stay away from these types of players. With the layout after Efren gave you ball in hand, you have to be able to run the entire table from that position 7 out of 10 times effortlessly before you can even compete against players at Efren's level with the right spot. They will torture you every time no matter what spot they offer!!!

[@DPMAce]

Good advice. It's hard to tell just how good these professionals are just from KZbin videos

[@evansebast]

but why? it's a very rare experience to play with your favorite player tho, no matter if we are beaten to shit

[@davids11131113]

Could be John was just dumping here and can play far better and hustled a bunch of people after this. Running 3-4 racks in a row is for tournament players, making the 9 is for pool hall hustlers. I don't know anything about John but hustling isn't necessarily about running out racks in a row you know.

[@nonnymus]

I say go for it. I like to play players out of my league even if I know I can't win. It's a good learning experience. If I had the money to spare and the opportunity I'd gladly donate to Efren.

[@LeonFleisherFan]

Great way of killing the cue ball @ 14:00!

[@MikeP350]

im no pro but i can sure shoot better than ole tennesse john, he must have been feeling the pressure, he had a few chances to run the table but missed some pretty simple shots

[@cayogator]

Ha ha, pressure is a very important part of winning a gamble !!

[@JUMBOpin]

12:12 why not bank?!

[@racheljohnson9108]

He picked the right shot. A cut is always more favorable than a bank. Unless he could have used another ball as a blocker in case he missed the 1. Banks are to low percentage. If you also look at his stroke, everything was off besides position. He stands up way to early and doesn't stay down through his stroke. He's just a C player.

[@150peacemaker]

Rachel Johnson depends on the bank, i find banks higher percentage the most people think in some cases.

[@corbakai4780]

150peacemaker In this situation, you should shoot the cut shot every time, even if you're a world-class banker.

[@ryanreyes4431]

Andy Denial Low percentage shot. Always choose the higher percentage shot.

[@150peacemaker]

Andrew Ryan the cut is the only logical shot he had no bank in the side or corner cause of the 2 and 7, could have cut it in the side to. The guy just sucks

[@dastardlydaring5142]

Someone should tell the guy in the giant shirt playing on the other table that it's not 1996 anymore.

[@MrTheeduck2000]

Efren is a Pool God

[@fernand.g]

what does it mean to give someone a 6 out?

[@billybergendahl3515]

Efren Reyes makes the game look so easy. In all the years I played I believe my longest run was three racks of nine ball.

[@victordelgado886]

He's a wealthy guy put he still plays for the love of the sports,it keeps him young at heart....Efren is the best !

[@shawnsmith2540]

There's one in every city. Especially here in Charlotte..... Hell one guy just brings his ol lady and they give her spots like this and he just watched and buys guys drinks. Win lose or draw it didn't matter cause money was no object so it was all for money but fun Also....

[@bingochoice]

what does 6 out mean?

[@MrAntup]

Dude have you played a turing pro. They make your arm lead. I like to ask that they have to push first shot after the break. You can free wheel a bit knowing that if you miss after the break they have to push out. Still doesn,t mean you won,t lose 11nothing

[@UFBear15]

Efren is such a legend man

[@tastycorpse666]

Haha, at 26:05, the unlock sound effect from Zelda plays.

[@boons32]

Lmao!!! Tennessee John?? Gtfoh!! Efren was stealing playing this joker!!

[@sleadsmoke1]

Efren makes it look easy as usual!

[@royplayer]

What a beat down. But going up against the greatest player to ever hold a cue, Tennessee John never had a snowballs chance in hell of ever making it close let alone winning the match.

[@arpeemac]

it's like watching michael jordan playing 1-on-1 with a cat.

[@rogersrandoms5405]

Tennessee John? Ha! It should be Tennessee Done. Because you couldn't beat Efren with Break, Ball in hand and the 3 out.

[@sjang816]

was he getting the called 6 out or wild? if wild he would've had a better chance just slam banging everything in sight and fishing on every shot. not to put him down but I have a feeling just going by his mannerisms and attitude he's a lot better in his mind than he thinks

[@buddystrickland]

ill give this guy the same spot and win. I wouldnt be proud to have it posted on youtube either.

[@swol1121]

That's a tough table to play on.

[@antoniog9814]

+Oscar Reyes That's just a cheap excuse. That guy just blows chunks. He can't string 2 balls together. He has no stroke doesn't stay down on shots, all of which are very basic issues with his game. I'll bet he's still bragging to his friends of the day he played Efren Reyes...and I'll also bet he told his friends he won a few games...until they see this, LOL.

[@kambetmouy276]

you have to be good in breaking to beat someone like efren.

[@jonway2350]

True, but you also have to be a great player.

[@kipsenpai8489]

I was like bout

[@freedomforthebrave]

The guy with the long shirt looks like he just ran out of a hospital to play pool

[@wdiddy1]

John plays like a c plus, but breaks pretty well. Not gonna get more than 1 turn per rack against top pros so if you can't run out save your money. Efren would kill an A plus easily so 789 not enough of a spot.

[@dd0ck]

Wow. Efren could give up the 3-ball and win!

[@hemanroczko1799]

On the "rookie" level of Tennessee John - he's probably used for wider pockets, being more common in US. Pockets on this table are much tighter.

[@davids11131113]

How much wider, like 12 inch pockets? He's not rattling balls here, he's missing by half a diamond.

[@ryanreyes4431]

Heman Roczko Yea man, this dude is awful haha.

[@antoniog9814]

+Heman Roczko No kidding. Pocket size isn't the issue. This guy can't hit the broadside of a barn.

[@ryanreyes4431]

^hahaha that's funny.So true.

[@Rx7nator]

Look at the game in the back ground, it's even more painful

[@ayenunu]

i like the cigarettes but i hate the smoke..i have not seen anything good on it...

[@jamalwilson1933]

Easy cash Efren has ever made Lol thanks Tennessee 😂

[@derrickallen2054]

This guy is not TN John. TN John has 2 missing fingers on his stroke hand and would run circles around this clown. And I seriously doubt Efren would give him the 6 out. They also call him "Hennessee from TN". Awesome channel btw

[@sjang816]

'let's try to fit as many words on the smallest part of the cue as possible' wouldve been good. but best wishes is ok I guess

[@williamburdon6993]

I was being cynical, sorry you missed it.

[@canismajorconservative8094]

Has this guy ever been on a table before? WTF? He is not from Tennessee..... 😂😂😂

[@koisdad]

you dont have to be good at pool to make or lose money at it. theyre gamblers. the person that can negotiate the best game usually comes out on top. looks like this night john shouldve asked for the and break though.

[@termite122]

just another day at the office..

[@boons32]

And believe me "Tennessee tool" if I lived anywhere close to hardtimes I'd be there! Especially if I fell on hardtimes because I know that is some EASY MONEY!! And I'd give you the damn table!! Lmao!!.

[@walterpettorosso4435]

Who is this Tennessee John ,someone teach him how to play pool and make all them easy shots.I would more then love to play the magic man and learn a few tricks from him.

[@kambetmouy276]

i've played with someone spotted me six seven eight nine, my break everytime. i had only one chance at the table cos if i missed, he'd make a roun out on me everytime.

[@MrRex1949]

kambet mouy : Never let someone spot you in a game of pool. As that is a sucker who lets someone give you spots. As there are lesser balls on the table. Leaving it open for the other player to run the balls out. 👍🎱🇺🇸

[@brucesmith1544]

@@MrRex1949 only in 8-ball...you always want spots in 9-ball

[@CharlesPinkett]

Sh*t who do you know that can't beat this guy..

[@tastycorpse666]

Everyone is talking about how Tennessee John didn't have a chance and is such a terrible player. So what is the point? I would love the opportunity to play Efren Reyes, and he did that. Even if he somehow had no idea what he was up against, he still got a chance to play Efren Reyes, and its been recorded.

[@jordanbaucom8186]

Bro I know John. He’s one the best pool players I’ve ever seen. Don’t be knocking him like that. Efren is literally the goat. But John is very very good also.

[@reymartz12]

lol why would that rookie dude play Efren?? Got owned :)

[@joshuabaynard3356]

I was playing in Spartanburg SC a while back, and I'm decent, and this guy I was practicing with told me to call up a good friend of mine who is a great player, so I did, he offered him 7 out and the last 2 plus the breaks, needless to say, me and my friend wasn't playing that dude. Not saying any names but you want a real game go to Spartanburg SC, Greenville SC.

[@davids11131113]

Hell I know a guy who hangs around my local pool hall who could likely beat most pros today, but he's retired from the Air Force and just likes to try to get $40 races to 5 from guys.

[@davids11131113]

BTW, why not mention a name? And what good would it do just to go to Spartanburg looking for this guy with no idea of his name?

[@joshuabaynard3356]

Cause there are plenty of great players in that area, several pros as well. Some live in that area and many travel through there on tours, just lots of action as far as billiards go, and the reason I ain't mentioning any names is because the friends I refer to are all hustlers and I don't think they would appreciate me posting their names on here. I have played some several professional players down there. I don't live far and am well above average pool player, but don't go down that way much because everyone there is as good or better than I am and I personally have to be on my very best game to compete well there. It is a lot easier to come north a little ways to some of these smaller towns and win no name tournaments for me, and maybe hustle or gamble a bit around these obscure places, still I run into some of them boys time to time from down that way. Same in Hickory NC.

[@JazzzPianist]

This kind of talk is why Europe is in the lead of pro-pool nowadays. Hustling, money pool, a guy at a bar without a name that beats pros... Common! Just play pool and approach it as a sport. In Europe we love the game not the money and talk around it.

[@joshuabaynard3356]

I used to really love billiards, nut once rge passion ean out i lost a lot of the talent i had overnight, ots weird how billiards work like that

[@MrRex1949]

Nothing wrong with playing against Efren Bata Reyes. As you learn how to play Better with someone experienced. Then someone who knows less about pool. I was taught to play pool by 2 pool hustlers. And learned a lot from them. I never played them for money. But I learned how to play pool. And won in tournaments. Of course not against them n tournaments yet. I have beaten them in a few games however. 👍🎱🇺🇸

Why is Efren even in the same room with this clown? Not to mention at the same table?? At least he shows respect by racking when Efren only has the 9 ball left. I can only assume that even the "King" gets bored.

[@ONEpocketKID21]

6 out and the breaks?? and i get to rack my own balls?! i'll play the world like that! a decent break and you're playing 4 ball or even 3 ball. i've played some of the great players and had my ass handed to me..that don't mean i won't try it tho

From being to fat to not be able to get low enough on your stroke, all the way to chalking his cue like it's the last time he'll see chalk in his whole life. Not to mention his demeanor, he's playing like an over confident prick. You're playing Efren! Humble yourself and try to get as much knowledge as you can from Efren.
