Here are some stats from the Lou Figueroa vs. John Barton One-Pocket match played March 18 and 19, 2014 in the Accu-Stats Arena at Sandcastle Billiards in Edison, NJ.

The conditions for this match included: 9-foot Brunswick Gold Crown III table with 4½" corner pockets and Simonis 860 HR cloth, Super Aramith Pro balls with a red-circle cue ball, triangle rack, rack your own, and rules as posted on OnePocket.org.

• Score in games -- Lou defeated John 9-6 (the first day ended a bit after 1 AM at 8-6)

• Games won on own break -- 6 of 8 (75%) by Lou, 4 of 7 (57%) by John

• Sum of scores for 15 games -- 104 Lou - 68 John

• Total balls pocketed for Lou -- 118 (includes 9 by John)

• Total balls pocketed for John -- 86 (includes 10 by Lou)

• Fouls -- 14 by Lou, 18 by John

• Lou had 8 runs of more than 3 balls, and he won all 7 games in which those runs occurred. John had just 1 run of more than 3 balls (a run of 5), and he won that game.

.......... Lou had runs of 7 balls (2 times), 6 balls (1), 5 balls (3), 4 balls (2), 3 balls (6), 2 balls (6), and 1 ball (45, including 9 by John)

.......... John had runs of 5 balls (1), 3 balls (7), 2 balls (11), and 1 ball (38, including 10 by Lou)

• Total elapsed time for the match (including racking, breaks, and discussions) was a few minutes over 9 hours, for an average of 36 minutes per game. John won 5 of the 6 games that lasted longer than 36 minutes; Lou won 8 of the 9 games that lasted less than 36 minutes.
 
Looks like this shows that lou has better firepower once the rack is open,
and is able to do a lot of damage once John sells out a partially opened rack.
This kind of fits his straight pool background.

John blows his opportunities to run several balls, but once he makes it a slower moving game
and gets balls uptable, he apparently becomes a favorite and can chip away a ball at a time.
 
I hope JB comes back and continues to sell cases. He was embarrassed and most people wouldn't show up here after that.

This has to be crushing on him.

Lou looked a lot smoother and it almost looked embarrassing for John cause he
was missing basic shots and looked outright horrid.
The upside for John was at I think 5-2 then 6-3 he slowly didn't exaggerate as
bad when shooting and was strategically wearing Lou out.
I thought for a moment as bad as John was playing, he might pull this
out with his brain.
I think the commentators were on acid but all in all was a interesting match.
Like I said on another thread, winning or losing 10 grand doesn't solve
there differences. That has to be solved off the table.

Looks like the match score was closer than the underlying level of play. Thanks for collecting these!

LMAO! I didn't think I was the only one thinking that! They reminded me of a Cheech and Chong movie...they were talking about everything but the game most of the time. I LOVED IT!
 
Thanks for the stats. Lou was shooting pretty good there. Good to see people getting together for some sweet sweet 1P. Good show to JB and Lou.
 
JB needs to keep his follow through straight. So many times I saw him twist his cue one way or the other, depending on the english or direction he wants the cue to go.

Just shoot nice and straight through.

I noticed that too and to JB's credit he a very smart player. He is a little crazy but he is also an intelligent individual and it showed in his game.

The longer the matches went on the better JB was. The commentators also mentioned this. JB kept wedging the ball down the opposite corner and Lou wasn't smart enough to counter.

JB has knowledge of the game but he loss due to choking and gambling on shots. Taking shots that he should not have. Otherwise, Lou is a dumber player than him.
 
Btw, the final game was impressive on Lou's part. The first run, I didn't see the combo he played shape for. Making two balls at once was sick. He dogged the eight ball run then totally made up for it with his combo with out shape.

Entertaining to say the least

John had a good run in the middle of the first day but couldn't sustain

Congrats to both players for the showing

… and again for the entertainment value, excellent :smile:

Thank you fellas, Billy

You're welcome, John; it was fun watching. Here are a few more:

• Number of scratches on the break -- zero

• Number of balls made on the break -- zero

• Number of balls made by non-breaker in his first inning -- one (by John for Lou on a carom, accidentally I think)

So both players broke pretty well. Lou did pass up high-risk open shots three times after John's break.
 
Was a good match up. I had the date in my calendar, and happened to be in a position to watch about half of it. I'm not a one pocket player at all, but this inspired me to learn some more and maybe play a little, having a reason to watch a match made it more fun and I learned a lot by watching the moves and listening to some of the commentary.

I think John got off to a slow start, and shot some shots too hard and fast and loose, or it easily could have been the other way around. Overall great match and great quality, thanks to everyone who had a part in putting it together and streaming it for us to watch.

I just watched the first several parts. Can you point out where the commentators weren't talking about the match and sounded like Cheech and Chong?

By saying this, you guys are in danger of sounding like The Thaiger, who clearly doesn't understand pool. I'm sure that's not your intention.
