Biado has had an impressive, while still a bit perplexing career. I don't think he has ever been the top Filipino player, but yet he has become one of the top Filipino tourney performers. His technique is a little wonky, with his shoulder over the shot line, but he makes it work. In my mind, he's among the elite when it comes to imaginative pattern play. Still -- few mention Biado when discussing the best in the world. He really has figured out how to perform his best when the camera is on. Maybe we all need to give him a little more credit.

i heard 2-3 years ago, raga and biado were considered top dogs and equal in money games. neither one wanted to play the other one. i think he gets his respect. but he's not flashy, he's kinda boring in a way? maybe a bit like darren appleton was. not slow, not fast, very gritty/determined and super solid in percentage play. those kind of players, while feared and respected, don't get the same attention

Agreed that the other choice was also reasonable, but not better. Finding the gap that Kledio found was pretty unlikely. Passively accepting the eight would have required a challenging shot from the eight to the nine.

Not terribly important to decide which was the better choice, but Kledio made a very reasonable choice here, made a solid stroke, and got really unlucky.
I think playing short-side position on the 8-ball was a better choice…..the safety choices still leave a lot of winning options.

Waxing the cue ball? WTF is Kaci talking about now?

Always wondered about this.

Are you misting the cloth with a spray or applying with a cloth?

Any particular product? A dry silicone spray?

only seen it done, not done it myself. silicone spray on a microfiber cloth then gentle uniform wipe on the table (including rails). all this after vacuuming and cleaning table ofc. i think it was a pure silicone spray for automotive purposes

Well, do I have egg on my face. I know you don’t suffer fools. I knew this guy lacked any substance behind his words, but I just want to share some tunes.

Speaking of… damn!
I like heavy music. That was next level. I don’t like to bask in misery, but have a couple tunes for when I need an attitude adjustment:

I really love the optimism of Killswitch Engage. This is the family tune:
Nothing will ever tear us apart
So we stand up. Stand up against the odds.
Our spirit is never ending
I’ll be your protection when you fall
Our spirit is never ending
Tell them it’s us, us against the world
