What was I supposed to learn from that drubbing?

I think it could depend. Back in the 80s I gambled with Ray Martin even in one pocket. I knew who he was but thought he was an old man and couldn't play anymore. Turns out he wasn't that old and could still play just fine. I lost every rack but we had good battles and long games. He played very, very conservative. In that session, I did learn a lot. A real lot.

Another time I gambled with a teenage Dennis Hatch even in one pocket. I knew who he was but thought he was too young and inexperienced to be a good one pocket player. Turns out he wasn't that inexperienced and played great one pocket. I lost every rack but the difference was he was very aggressive, hardly ever missed, and every tiny opening I gave him cost me 6, 7 or 8 balls. No games were close. In that session, I didn't learn anything.

I'm guessing if that old Ray Martin would match up against that young Dennis Hatch, it would be a battle, and Ray might even have the better of it. In this case, I learned more from the better player because of his style and strategy choice to out move me instead of out shooting me.

On a side note, Ray never used the same break twice. I only knew one break and had no idea there are several. Going by memory, splitting the first two balls is the most aggressive. All the other breaks spread the balls less with less risk. Those breaks drug out every game into defensive / maneuvering battles. I lost a lot that day...should have pulled up much sooner.

New Cory Barnhart Radial Roasted Maple Shafts With and Without Fine Dots Ringset

Bavafongoul
Thank you Martin…….the shaft arrived 10 mins ago. It was packaged so well you could have dropped the carton from a rooftop and the shaft wouldn’t suffer any damage. Appearance wise, it’s the Mona Lisa of cue KW cue shafts. I’ll probably switch the tip to match my other cues but right now I want test drive this beauty. I’ll take photos to post on a separate thread.

Folks, Cory builds a great KW shaft he has to refer to as roasted maple for legal reasons. Well, I now have 4 KW shafts and I wish ever maple shaft I owned was KW. If you’re playing wood shafts, it may be time to test drive a heavier version KW shaft.

I've never watched a Reyito match but I believe you. Not sure why Raulito wanted to play OD either, especially after seeing him beat Guama for $80K. I think he's like a 740, but people in the chat were saying him and Oscar play at about the same level, which I find hard to believe based on what I saw last night. I guess being the best player from your country gives you a different type of confidence.

I watched the whole match and people kept coming up to the table at random times, it was very annoying.
At the end, Oscar was on the hill and shooting the 7ball I believe, some random guy came up to Jeff (OD's stakehorse) and started talking to him, Jeff had to tell him to go sit down lmfao.

no way he's playing 50 points above his fargo, people saying that are probably paisanos with a lot of hope
