corey duel vs svb in action now live

Did SVB play in the 1P?

Apparently, Shane played scary good. Even more scary, Shane recently said that he doesn't practice much anymore. Must be quality practice, if any.

Were the flip-flops and tattered jeans his ice fishing outfit? Bet that ice time helps his mental toughness...'Cold?...what cold?..hadn't noticed.'

One earlier match with Shane, Corey commented that if it had been a fight..they would have stopped it. Sounds like about same result.

Among these big boys, 5 nd 6 probably not much a factor.

Shane's playing mighty strong.
 
Corey does not seem to be in stroke nor does his speed on safties or kicks seem right. Seems to be playing nonchalant while Shane is in dead punch also playing a great saftey game when he has nothing.
 
Shane outran the nuts! How I don't know, I didn't see it. Getting the five and six ball in Ten Ball is HUGE! On another note, Dennis O. will be in Reno and they have 9' tables there. There could be fireworks! :eek:

I say Shane cannot and will not play the same game against Dennis. The fear factor kicks in for all players. Doesn't mean Shane can't win, just that he won't be free wheelin' it like he was against Corey. Dennis is not afraid of ANYONE, not even Shane God! You never know what can happen when two Alpha pool players get in the same room. There will be woofin', that's for sure! :rolleyes:

By the same game, I hope you don't mean give Dennis O. the 5,6. :eek:. I agree that giving the 5,6 to top players is huge. Have no idea why some on here say it's not. Johnnyt

It would be great to see a big money match not many players on the planet can fade Shanes monster break but Dennis O might be the guy to do it

No spot required, just play Ten Ball even up.
 
because it's not.

With top level pool how many games in a race to 21 do you think players will get to the five or six or have a combo on the 5 or 6 where they wouldn't get out???

The answer is two or three at the most.

People act like it's 7 or 8 games on the wire going to 21 when it's no where near that.

I actually did a test with another A+ player friend of mine where we would alternate who would get the six out and it didn't really make a difference, we won as often when not getting the spot as when we got it.

The only thing that kind of spot gives the player is a psychological advantage; however at the same time to take advantage of the spot requires focus on other things, i.e. when the opportunity to take advantage of the spot presents itself, so in some ways it's a disadvantage because it can be distracting of your focus.

Does that weight even come close to 6 games on the wire for a top pro? if not, no way corey should have taken the match.
 
the bet was the key.

They bet 1400.....not a lot of money compared to what most of SVB's sets are played for. He probably thought he was the dog in the game but felt like gambling. I highly doubt he would have given the same weight for 20k. Jmo
 
I keep sayin' Shane is the greatest ever and everybody on AZ keeps bashing me for it.... But Shane keeps proving me right!!!
 
i like shane too, but he needs to play players that are relevant, and play them outside of TAR. Corey isn't even a top 10 player in 10b today.
 
I agree but 5/6 is huge and Shane showed why Corey is the Prince of pool and Shane is the King of pool:D
 
With that spot corey never has to run more than 4 or 5 balls ever to win a game you would think it would have been at least close not 21-10

I agree, $1400 is probably a sweat bet for Shane and it gave him the chance to see if he could out run a big spot against a great player. I think it's pretty impressive myself.

Like you said, if it had been for $20,000 I don't think Cory would get this much weight. I could be wrong, but I see it the same way you do.

One thing is for certain, very few players on the planet have any kind of shot at beating Shane even. SVB is just a phenomenal player, period.
 
I am not saying that the 5,6 is not a big spot but at the higher level the spot becomes less relevant then for B and C players. If Shane is breaking and has control then it is tough for someone to take that away from him. Giving these ball spots is a way of getting the guy to play but if Corey can make the 5 or the 6 he is more times then not going to win outright anyway.

What Shane was betting on was that Corey would not break and run out consistently to the 5 or 6 on that tight table. You could take Shane and Dennis and have them each playing a set giving the other guy the 5 or something and one of them might beat the other giving up the 5. It is not often that these guys do not get out when they are on the 5 or 6 ball, it is really rare.
 
Would a fair spot for Corey vs. SVB be alternating breaks and everything else straight up? Would SVB agree to such a spot?
 
This wasn't just a (who broke better) match. Shane is way, way, way outta Corey's league. With alt breaks Shane wins 75 to 80 % off his breaks & 60 to 70 % off Corey's breaks. It's like watching somebody beat their kid.... you just wanna call the cops.
