Filler’s 3-Rail Kick in the Reyes Cup … Was it the Right Choice?

When i play tournaments and want test table in warm up I shoot couple times 3 rail "opposite system shot" 3 rails. It is fast way to get read of rails and cloth.
It is close what Filler had, and i am sure he know that too so that shot. Use slightly less english than natural 3 rail kick and faster speed.
Here you can see me test it on last tournament before match.
Yes, good idea, but ...

In truth, the chance to warm on a stream table at a major championship is usually minimal, typically, but not always, restricted to one rack each for you and your opponent. Over the years, I've heard more than a few players complain about this, noting that the table in the practice room may or may not play like the one on which they must compete, but their complaints have, too often, fallen on deaf ears.

You can watch all the shots in the video to judge for yourself. The 3-railer gave a bad result much more than I thought it would (especially at the slow-ish speed Filler used).
Ditto. I do not agree that, at the speed Filler, chose, he survives anything less than a make of the seven ball more than occasionally. He'll almost never get separation at that speed, and the nearly-always-fatal double kiss is an undeniable danger. I feel strongly that he bet the rack on kicking it in, and his choice was certainly reasonable.

Poolmanis wisely notes that the slick conditions were a problem associated with both the one railer and the three railer,

Is it true that more than 25% of the people on earth have Ghengis Khan's DNA??
That guy got around!!
I'm envious.
Reminds me of an old joke:

Q. Why were there so many Mormon grandmothers in the 19th century?
A. Because so many of them married young.

Note: For those that don't know, Brigham Young, among the founding members of the Mormon religion, was a polygamist and had numerous wives.
