In Efren's first ever professional straight pool [he said straight pool, not 8 ball] Efren ran over 100 in pretty much ever match, and looked like a long time pro, despite have never played it competitively before, and having only had the duration of the tournament to learn the patterns. If anything, he is a BETTER straight pool player than he is a 9 ball player.

And in that match (its on youtube somewhere) he played amazing.

I gotta give credit where credit is due, back about 6 months from the time of this match, Efren just owned Mike Sigel in the King of the Hill final.... and what I really appreciate about Mike is the way he talked about Efren here. There was ZERO sour grapes about HIS lost and only admiration and respect from Mike. I know he's known as "the mouth" but even while he does talk a lot during his play, he always remains respectful of his opponent. Something Earl could've learned a little while playing. I still love Earl.... Earl is Earl and he's his own worst enemy at times but there's no denying his brilliance at 9 ball. As for Mike, I hope people realized when he got whooped by Reyes in 2005 .... he'd been retired for over 10 years.... and clearly not in his Prime stroke. But I appreciate his attitude and to me, that's what makes a real Legend of the sport.👏👏👏
