A duel with Efren is already an honor.

I have improved at pool so much by watching Effrin play and how he moves the cue ball around. I no longer have to hit those power draws but once in a long while because I’m getting the correct angle on most of them. Learning how to go forward a lot more like he does

I'm not a professional but it's tough watching Colin play

When you two were talking about handicapped events I thought you were talking about something for me. Lol, I have a Traumatic Brain Injury. Lol. !!! It finally dawned on me what you referring to. IAM still laughing.

That safety was amazing!

This is a well known case of Effen "playing down to his opponent". It's happened to me more than I'd like to admit.

No offense to this guy but he reminds me one of the reasons why I quit apa. Sorta painful to sit there watching someone analyze each one of their shots for a minute, then execute so bad missing, and then no shapes. Worth it to watch efren play though!

Hard to take yourself seriously when you're playing those types. It's a farce. Yeah good players don't belong there. Waste of time.

Those pockets are really tight.

I think Colin needs to go pawn his cue stick lol

This guy knows he’s not on Efrens level but gets to play Efren. Win Win

I like listening to that woman Brook's commentary.

♥♥ In my opinion (which is probably worth about as much as 2 slices of un-buttered bread), Colin 'screwed up" on his very first shot in this video. I think he SHOULD HAVE caromed his first ball off the striped ball. That would removed the solid ball from that corner, allowing the #12 ball to utilize that corner pocket.

efferen is a beast!!! that Colin guy was tough to watch. ..he needs to do drills for a few weeks. ..but, he is playing efferen lol

1:07:30 Busti in the background saying "magaling pa si [girl's name]..." or something. Translates to "[girl's name] shoots better than this guy..."

It must be a joke getting trapped in your own shot playing Efren.😂😂

Everyone's talking smack about this dude Collin but honestly he's getting the best experience ever right now if I had the money to bet against efrin i would a couple hundred dollars a set I would know I would lose but I'm getting the best experience. You dont get better playing chumps. Any good player knows that

@@user-hh9ni8su3p - Very good thnx. One aspect of these pool videos, is the commentator is talking to the people who have been in the pool community for a long time, and not the people who are new or not in the billiards culture. The commentators are congregational, loving the community, talking to their friends, and people they'd like to be closer to. It's so sweet....for them, at least. It's as if they don't want the public "horning in". That's what it was like at the trap and skeet ranges, and the cold shoulder they gave to the public was successful. So much so that the sport is virtually dead.

Colin sure spends a lot of time figuring out how to miss his shots. Props to him for at least trying.

Even missed a lot to help the poor guy

I forgot how much these young kids paid to play against Efren. $ 100 or $200? But it's an honor to play against the Maestro. Only No Mercy Rule haha. If You want to stay on, you gotta make your shot and pocket the balls, if not, you'll be a benchwarmer haha

Imagine paying to enter a tournament and your first game is against Efen or SVB or Shaw

There's gotta be at least a dozen others in that place that could've made it interesting.

Nice table all you need are players.

Is the kids table it looks small.

not enough experience yet colin

Colin hard to watch...Agreed! He spends 5 min deciding *something?* and then shoots quickly and misses easy ones! He manages to string a few good strokes in there and then horrible position. I suppose you could say he is paying $100 per set to get practice playing Efren.

I never seen Reyes miss so many shorts

A sucker born every day.

@5:00 the pool table is not leveled. Watch that 5 ball curve. This is what you call HUSTLIN' as the kids say nowadays

Efrem making great shots meantime the two commentators are glorifying themselves

Colin was supposed to play in the beginner class.

Colin is getting it from everyone in the comments but at least he can say he played against Efren and he won a couple of games! Not many of us can say that, keep at it Colin and you will get better, maybe pay for some coaching. i would love to play Efren but not sure that I would win more games, I think Efren plays according to the competition, he didn't want to run all these guys out and not let them shoot.

I wish that these commentators would call the match rather than gossip and carry on like they are doing. Good commentary is a must.

In my opinion the issue that Colin has is he playing the world's greatest pool player he's not confident in his stroke he's intimidated and he's got a much better game if he was in a more relaxed setting

Colin may have a stigmatism and not know it. Time to check his eyes.

The announcers should just shut-up if they're not going to comment on the game going on.

The commentary is quite boring it's much better on mute!

efren know his opponent is just an ammateur so thats why he missed those shot on purpose. not showing his true shot making skills. look at 45:15 efren did that on purpose thats not his shot. Really?

Colin needs to seek help from a teacher. His stance, stroke, posture, and speed are terrible.

I know I'd give Efren a better match and I'm a 5 in in-house 🤣

So bizarre.

Simple. Efren enjoys earning $100/set while he practices, and people are standing in line to play $100 sets with Efren. Everyone walks away satisfied.

Lesson #2 don't rush your shots. You take to many quick pokes on close and easy shots!

Why does the Master even bother playing a second set with this super noob? Don't tell me it's because of that $100...... It's like watching Perfect Cell vs Mr. Satan, only that Satan is funny, and Colin is downright lame, lol

Maybe he was just nervous, but this Colin dude looks average at best.

Colin needs to practice hard for a year or two and then quit,

Rich Kind cant play Pool paid to play efren

what a player. this guy don't even know how to hold a cue and a proper shot still go for competition playing with the master Efren Reyes....he should dig a hole and hide under the table

Watching Efren play is no longer exciting and his shots is also lack of vitality. When he ages his shots, his playing style is no longer exciting like when he was in his 30s and 40s. The aggressiveness and the fineness that were part of him once are all vanished as time progress. I guess this could say to all sportsmen. Certainly, age robs you of vitality and aggressiveness. I try to look for Efren's and Bustamante's videos when they were in their 30s and 40s. They are classics. Oh, yes, those were the days, my friends. :)
