Earl Strickland vs. Jose Parica at Amsterdam Billiards

[@blakerblaker19]

This is my favorite upload of a pool match, no annoying commentators smacking their lips and chewing constantly...just one camera angle and a good match.

[@elec174]

good presentation, good shooting, clear video picture, and no commentator talking nonsense.

[@MrDennyStewart]

Great match and thanks for sharing it with us.

[@kingstaff4]

Damn, Earl was on his game. Thanks for the upload.

[@bigmanpool1]

Thank You For Sharing Jim . The video look great. It makes me home sick.

[@confess5]

love that biography of the players after a rack....great work

[@mcesarey]

Great to see this match...such a throw-back to 20 years ago

[@md316]

Best I've seen Earl play in a while, when he's not strapping himself down with weights and getting angry with the crowd to focus himself he's still one of the best, when he's relaxed and not searching for perfection he comes pretty close to finding it, shame

[@joshuahaynes7128]

Mike Drumgold your right tho.. earls only rival was always himself . When he hits that high gear ive never seen anyone close to earl

[@FlowStateOptimal]

it's a cue extendor. people use it for long shots as an option over a bridge. earl is just whimsical like that and decided to keep it since he got used to it.

[@Frankraats]

11-5 looks like a comfortable win for Earl, but Parica played great too. Earl had a few nice rolls, and Parica had no luck on his break whatsoever. Parica has such a smooth style, and he showed some great kicks and position play. Anyway, two of the greats!

[@bgjb-r1499]

Earl in his prime was amazing. Arguably the best 9 ball player in history. JMHO

[@ekuut181]

Nice video. I like the bios between racks.

[@corby404]

Earl Strickland is the best.

[@geoger123]

any1 know what is the song in the background?

[@0ooGummies]

whats that thing on the end of earl's cue?

[@nimajnebrm]

Very nice, 1080p!

[@linustheguitarist]

I like the player facts between the games!

[@trumanhw]

No one cares. And personally, music is a matter of taste - which your opinion wasn't solicited. Be GRATEFUL to the original uploader and the INCREDIBLY high quality video we were provided - along with a SPECTACULARLY high level of play. To notice anything else calls seriously in to question your capacity to focus - which I'll bet is evidenced in replete by what I'd guess is C caliber of play. Let me know if you'd ever like to pick the music and play some triple digit sets.

[@jdbankshot]

just out of curiosity, did you check my past comments from awhile back? these fools just didn't get it, had to school em'...

[@IRevealTheMagic]

Great game but all I want to know is who is the woman you first see for the Amsterdam Billiards ad!!!?? Marry me..marry me now

[@piraterobber]

Jose looked unbeatable but Earl is unbeatable when everything goes his way. Actually one of the only times I recall Earl getting all the rolls.

[@joshuahaynes7128]

piraterobber when earl is in stroke at his best he would run over parica everytime

[@NYCBambu]

thanks for the match Jim! Every time i hear earl i think its joe rogan!

[@bobjones263]

Earl is to Pool as Bruce Lee was to Karate

[@jjb926]

I like that there are no commentators to ruin it

[@jdbankshot]

thank, bro, ize apreesheeates it. see you soon, we'll have a nice, long race. 8,9,10-ball, any or all of em'...be safe, c u later.

[@rivaaaal1992]

the 8th game was the best !

[@bobbylight111]

What do you think blues rock and Motown was in the 50s, 60s and 70s? It was the dance pop of its day. Playing old music out of some ill-conceived reverence for the "old days" is at least as phony as Justin Bieber or Katy Perry, in my opinion.

[@weakfingers]

Favorited just for the shot at 46:42!

[@os169826]

earl "the pearl" strickland, for parica, it's jose "amang" parica

[@Onesimus747]

i played on the pro nine ball tour in late ninteys and early 2000s. these are the two best player in my opinion. no, efren cannot get there over parica in the long run. i put buddy hall up there and alex pagalyan

[@debtbully3]

I can't believe the rail is in the way!

[@chieqlee1931]

2:19 LIGHTERS - Bruno Mars,... thumbs up if you can hear it

[@jdbankshot]

10-ball, race to 51, anytime. i'll play some ccr, ac/dc, chili peppers, funkadelic, james brown, bob marley, some sweet-ass jimi, etc... y'know, music.

[@SnapdaNine1]

Pocket's are BUCKETS!

[@jdbankshot]

plenty care, like our players over here that know top 40 blingjiggy shit is for nightclubs and such. my ability to focus during my play is not affected by the surroundings, i just appreciate a knowledgeable dj that realizes a poolhall is not a strip club. there are certain rules in 8, 9, 10, 14.1, one pocket, etc, why not certain rules for the environment, like no katy perry & bieber & feminem? because of the almighty $. btw, i'm semi-pro, c caliber was when i started.

[@billspicer7243]

two great players.Strickland was relaxed and on his game. Hard to beat him when he's like that. Parica did very well also but Strickland was just in the zone. Anyone looking for pool lessons go to: "playerspoolandbilliard"

[@yanomami51437]

37：35　Ultimate！

[@TylerVideoable]

looks like eddie kim from hang over movie =)) funny fat guy falls on face hahaha

[@bobjones873]

If there is or has been anyone else in this world better than Earl Strickland, would someone tell me? Rumor by the camp fire has it tha Willie Mosconi was better, what do you guys think?

[@joshuahaynes7128]

Nope.. earl and efren and shane best ever... but when earl plays this way he is unbeatable

[@jdbankshot]

HAAHAAAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!! too fuckin' funny! sorry for the delayed reply, homeboy, i'm a busy dude. glad to hear from you, see you on the tables very, very soon...like tonight! of course, you had to stumble upon one of my pool posts where pool isn't the main focus....or is it? can't be expected to shoot a real game (practice, ok, still sucks, but ok) when crap like that is playing....see you at jume, i'll txt you in a few hours.

[@tbcombatmedic]

There are some sexy female players at the end, DAMN

[@miskaye35]

chow yan fat god of gamblers vs earl

[@jdbankshot]

@smugglinbooze oh, so wrong you are. again, i repeat, you don't play mozart in a strip club. i did come here to watch the action, really sucked that i had to mute it due to hearing the brainwashing audio pollution that is modern pop, which has absolutely no place in a real poolhall. very simply, there some things that just shouldn't be done. hurting puppies, putting out fires with gas, or playing LMFAO type shit in a poolhall. also, i have a very respectable, thick 7.5 incher, so open wide.

[@linustheguitarist]

35:32 (So Earl is Human after all) 35:34(Nope Hes a JEDI)

[@debtbully3]

Joe rogan!LOL!He's every where. Train by night to HoneyHoney!

[@Osoma1yahoo]

I'll give all you mo fo's the 8

[@jdbankshot]

i'm posting this comment 9mins into the match... i've never been to amsterdam billiards, but i will one day. however, it is extremely disappointing to hear bullshit, blingjiggy, top 40, urban dance, pop hop, partytime, stripclub "music" in a world renowned pool hall. it's just not appropriate for the setting & environment. imagine a stripclub playing mozart or willie nelson... a real poolhall isn't a bar or club with a few tables away from the dancefloor. should be blues, blues-based ...(tbc)

[@jdbankshot]

...blues-based classic rock from the 50's, 60's, & 70's, motown & stax funk & soul, anti-puffy real hip hop circa 79-96, modern alternative rock, you get the drift...NEVER,EVER this phony audio shite meant to brainwash & sell product to the weak-minded masses. it's like bieber playing in a hells angels bar. i mean, really, feminem & katy perry & fergie & usher in a real poolhall in nyfuckinc? this comes from a longtime bar & pub dj who is on the path to becoming a pool pro. NO MORE B.S. DANCEPOP
