is jayson shaw overrated?

Jayson may be the best shot maker in Pool today. That counts for something. He is also a favorite over most good players and a threat to beat anyone. Why don't you ask the other top players in the world how they feel about playing Jayson? I suspect you will find out he's not a good draw (not someone they want to play). IMO he is in the top fifty players in the world today and rising fast.

Jayson is probably in the top 10 in the world.
 
Unless you play really, really good you have no chance of beating Jayson even with the 5 out... much less just the 5.


There's a pretty significant difference between the two. I'd take my chances with the 5 and out, but I wouldn't put a second Mortgage on my home to find out. lol

I think Shaw's game is just fine....for Shaw.
If he tried to play like Souquet, he probably couldn't beat anybody.
He wins fast and furious...he loses fast and furious....
....you gotta dance with the one you came with.

Shaw is just a younger version of Tony Drago.

Against an A or B player, yes, there's a significant difference. Against a top pro, barely a difference at all.
 
It's funny how a spot starts with the 5 ball, then changes to the 5 out...pretty soon we will see X games on the wire followed by getting the breaks and then for the grand finale comes where Shaw must shoot left handed with one foot in the air. So many internet world beaters in this forum I swear.

My original comment was that Jayson could probably give him the 5 out, and rob him. Key word - "probably". The "Butch Harmon" of pool took it upon himself to say he'd take the 5 from Jayson, and bet $100k. Good for him. He also said that once Jayson heard who he was, the spot would shrink considerably.

Like I have said, if he has $100k to gamble with, and he thinks Jayson is overrated, he should go bark up the right tree - Jayson's. He's on Facebook. I'm sure someone on here knows Jayson. If this guy is that good, and has something to prove, pull a JB and push the money into the middle of the table. Otherwise, you're just another internet troll calling out players much better than you between reruns of Matlock.

5 and out is a massive spot, but you'd need to be pretty strong to outrun it against a top pro, I agree.
It's impossible to take people seriously on here who bark using a anonymous name.

My post wasn't directed to you. He very well knows where he could go to call out and get a game, but it is much more fun (for him) to talk shit and stir it on here. Congrats to the good ol high school days.

Said all I wanted to say.
 
If it counts on the break I'd bet on any good player versus a pro with the 5 out...

Usually, if a guy gives you that kind of weight, you don't get to break...the 5 out AND the break....you may as well just take out a gun and ask for his wallet.

Yep, the break is huge. I'm a C to C+ player and I would stake myself with the wild 5 and the break on a barbox vs any pro.

On the flip side I definitely don't like my side of it with just the 5 ball vs any pro. I might as well just take them to Red Lobster, pay for dinner and listen to them tell a story or two :D
 
3 peating turning stone and tearing up every other event? You guys make me laugh how you pick and pry at anything you can to rip a dude down. It's absolutely hilarious to ready this dribble and complete tripe. A main reason I barely post here anymore. Bunch of loonies :groucho::wave::joyful::withstupid::speechless:

Might depend on who breaks. Winner breaks makes the spot dry up really fast (can't make your wild balls from the chair).

Also, didn't SVB barbecue Scooter giving him the wild 6, 7, 8 and 9 and the breaks and the balls counted on the break?
