race to 25 2 out of 3 sets
- Thread starter real bartram
- Start date
i said this format is fine.
but its not a good format to see who is the best player
thats all i was saying in this thread.
im not a big enough name to be in this tar thing.
they need to keep the top guys in there to sell ppv.
Sorry about including you in that line up Donny...being old kind of makes it hard to remember everything ya know:thumbup:...as I recall now...you did put up one hell of a fight with Shane...and now that I think about it...you were the only player that would have escaped the knockout...LOL
Glen
How cool would it be cleary....if we did lunch together someday...I'm in your area right now, how about tomorrow?...I'm sure we could find something to talk about:grin:
Cool, sounds good. I'm free for lunch tomorrow.
Just meet me in Brooklyn. Johnny's pizza, 436 New Lots Avenue. It's a beautiful part of brooklyn called East New York. I'll be there at 1pm, see ya then bud!
While you're in town, could you convert my dinning room table into a 5 pocket diamond? Pro cut, of course.
If anything, Donny was ahead for the first two days.
Shane's big turnaround came when he switched his break to a hard break, on day 3.

Donny, question for you buddy. If a 20 game lead would have given you an automatic win early in the match...knowing now what you didn't know back then...would you have tried to play even harder to go for the knockout as quick as you could have over Shane...rather than go the distance to 100? I know from my playing years that sometimes you just get on a roll and can't seem to miss anything and can really string some racks together....but even then, sooner or later you fall out of that Zone. So my question is just that...while in that "zone"...would you have given the option...focused all efforts to gain that lead to win the match?

If you want a real pool table, instead of trying to make a dinning room table into one....I can help you get a real DIAMOND pool table, it's only about $6,000 delivered and set up....which would cost less than what you'd have to pay to fix that dinning room table up
PS. I have a Diamond with just the two foot corner pockets....will that do?

No, I was hoping to get this
to play like a diamond.
No, I was hoping to get this

For $4,995 I can make that play just like a Diamond 7ft ProAm, and not only play like one, it'll even LOOK just like one...and you can still eat off of it if you'd like
...what color of cloth do you want?
You really have no idea what in the hell you are talking about do you?
You are the guy who doesnt know who 90% of the pros are and now you know how their minds work? How long have you known Shane and Johnny personally? What basis do you have to say they would do anything like what you suggest ?
Here is a clue dipshit....both of these guys HATE to lose. This was a big deal for Johnny because he knew lots of people are watching. Its not a race to 9 where if he gets smoked its just a bad day at the office. This was his chance to show everyone he still has it and he did. Same goes for Shane. He wanted to prove he is the best American. Its called pride jackwagon.
Simple answer is you dont know anything and are talking straight out of your ass.
I'd pay to watch you play and so would many others. Even if your top gear isn't quite as high as some other guys, you're a just as good a gambler - and sometimes better.
I just want to extend a big thank you to Justin, Mark and everyone behind the scenes that make these matches possible.
TAR 26 was exciting and fun start to finish. I couldn't ask for anything more
Both players gave their all EVERY game and it was obvious Shane and Johnny both wanted the win.
(Makes me wonder if these conspiracy theorists even watched the match.)
I find it insulting to read accusations to the contrary.
Also unlike some of the other matches I've watched the participants were professionals throughout. I want to thank Shane and Johnny for that.
Oh, and thanks for the great podcasts. I enjoyed them also.
Very nice to hear Johnny talk about all that's been going on from his personal standpoint.

The main problem (which is what started this thread) is that 3 sets of 25 is effectively a shorter race than the old format, and it increases the chances of an underdog winning. Luck evens out over long races, but plays a big role in short races.
Sets to 25 are reasonable, but if you shorten the race much further, then it starts to look more and more like a coin flip. We still want the best player to come out on top.
