Busti-LeeVann.....Day2

[BuddyWing]

I didn't think Busty played that well. When he played at the Riv in Vegas
I think he played a lot better , but that was 15 years ago .

 

[Nick B]

That would be Biblical

DAMB! you spell checker.

 

[straightline]

50-46 Busti

I thought Corteza had the advantage. Django's too wise I guess.

I didn't listen to the stream but they did show a "flyer" for Chua and Shane towards the end of the stream, during one of their breaks between games. Maybe, Chua is unavailable now and Busti is stepping up.

They announced just a few minutes ago that it will be Chua vs. Van Boening starting later today.

Corteza plays real good and Bataman and Django have been looking pretty geriatric in their "local" action matches. FB is pretty clever though. I like that one pushout where the one was on the bottomrail and he rolled to a hittable safety which Corteza declined. Django then shot a perfect banked billiard on the 10. Guy knows his pool.

He certainly used to play better, but he is probably the best player in the world over 50

even if he didn't see the shot, the ten's right there- you gotta do something with the one in that sitch, nah?

Well there's this dry attitude among the dry (lol) that the other guy can always screw up. That might be the motivation for declining pushouts even when shooting something might favor the shooter.

Beautiful shot. Putting the one ball safe was his main goal, which he accomplished. The 10 ball was a low percentage free shot. I'm thinking he makes that 10 ball about 5% of the time.

Funny that call rule. You need only say "ten ball". They were doing it on the final ten too.

It is call pocket. He taps the corner when he is walking back to the table. It was part of his plan when he pushed out.
