My Fargorate progression

My match yesterday vs the 576, we have played a few times before in the last couple of years and went back and forth. Yesterday we played races to 7 for $200 on the 7' Diamond, 10 ball. He beat me 7-0! haha. I don't think I played bad, it's just I'd run the wrong group of balls before missing, and leave him a 3 or 4 ball out almost every rack. I told him after the set "Lucky for me I didn't say shutout pays double (I often do)".

The second set he was up 1-0, and I put my stick on the table to get involved in a side shit show side betting on the ghost vs a straight ticket. We left it at that. I had too much side bet that no way I could play anymore until the ghost set was over. That's a story for another time.

Now, I'm heading back to the pool hall to play a 517, 10 ball on the 7'. I'll be giving him a spot. We are going to try to stream it. If we do, I'll have a link in about an hour.

In split-bracket events, the ‘500’ range tends to draw more entrants, while the higher bracket seems to win a lot of the mixed-bracket endings with four (or more) competitors. Makes sense for the rooms especially, because they have a background inclination to […]
