Speaking of the Accu-Stats Luat vs Dickson one-pocket match ,Cole was responsible for Luat having that final match winning shot. Even if you never heard of Cole Dickson, just from watching that video, you know Cole had excellent cue ball control and consistently placed it with impeccable forethought. I believe Cole left Luat that shot intentionally to tempt him. Cole knew that to make that bank would take a world-class effort. Cole was gambling so as to get another chance to win the match.
On the other hand, now, you may be thinking, what about those two terrible blunders Cole made earlier in the match: missing one shot badly and scratching on the other?
Were they really mistakes? Pretty flagrant, possibly. But I wonder if Cole got any action outside of tournament competition. You know: hay, I'm a senior, losing my game, I'm dogging it regularly, I like to bet high, you can win... A gunslinger hustler like Cole... Who knows? I'd like to find out.
