My name is Stephan, and I've been playing real pool billiards since 1985. The photo shows me at my 9-foot pool table.

I compete against players ranked between 600 and 950, sometimes finding that my skills outshine my rank, especially in 9-ball. Generally, I'm unfazed by this, but sometimes, rank chasers get a bit worked up when they lose to me.

On funkypool, I might not be the most consistent potter, but my position play more than makes up for it. If you can come close to my 8-ball US runouts or seven ballings, you can rightfully call yourself a skilled position player. My goal is to surpass the mark of 250 runnouts. However, these days, hardly anyone plays this game anymore, so I doubt I'll ever reach that goal.

Unlike real Straight Pool, funkypool doesn't allow potting more than one ball at once. This rule feels unnecessarily restrictive and drives me mad. Because of this, I usually cap my Straight Pool runs at 35, completely avoiding the pursuit of high runs.

The Corona pandemic brought me back in 2020 after a five-year break - so I say: Hey, I'm back! :-)
