how i felt about your initial post
Bergman ran a 19-pack, I think it's the highest package on video.
- Thread starter CreeDo
- Start date
I'd actually pay if you did go ahead and leave

how much?
may have been the opponent's terms though
i don't like bb pool but one has to acknowledge that this is super strong!

I'm fine with people believing they need a mask but what's the point if it's under your nose, advertising endorsements

I don’t know about that. In barbox world, in my mind a template rack on a modern Diamond table is about a wash with old Valley table bucket pockets & a triangle.
Super fun to watch such smooth & loose playing. Someone should host a barbox hi rack run challenge event, similar to the 14.1 hi run stuff… Same “ideal” conditions for all, let it rip.

I play here all the time and the owner is a good friend and fellow poster. The table is a standard, worn in, Diamond bar table. No gaff, not new cloth, no changes to the pocket angles. The run was 18 break and runs starting at 13-26 score. The run ended with Justin playing a safety on the 1 ball after the break.
The players were gambling with Justin spotting another good player 25 games going to 50 for at least $1k. This was not an exhibition. The players agreed to template rack with the 2 in the back. There was no pattern racking beyond the 2 at the rear. During the run, Justin banked a couple balls and made one long combo. His opponent conceded the nine ball at least twice during the run.

I think SVB did over 20. Issue with a high run is that if you are in a tournament none of them would require a run over 11 or something to win.
I guess you can keep counting what happens the next match.
Someone once asked Parica what his high straight pool run was, and he said 125. Why that? Because once you do that you win the match, and he stops shooting LOL

It’s the new bandit style look. Haven’t you heard?
j/k Hope your well, have a great weekend

Don't robbers wear masks? (edit) To be honest, I wondered why...since even the CDC admitted it was all a big screw-up.

Doesn't the rear ball typically go uptable, just the 1 does when it misses the side pocket? Is the idea to give the breaker the best chance to get a run started? My break isn't consistent enough to study and exploit this but there should be a pattern that sends consecutive balls to opposite ends of the table at least somewhat reliably.

it would be nice to apply a little factual analysis to the difficulty / probability of this run
can someone provide an accurate B&R probability on a single rack under these conditions?
all things being equal,
at 60%.....that's a probability of 0.006% to run 19 racks
Shaw likely has easier odds trying to run another 700-800

I feel like I should take a road trip to watch Dave play. He is such an icon.
See the "scoliosis" ? That's most of the consistency right there. Gorst has it too. I had a chest x-ray 10, 20 years ago and was shocked to discover my lab posture traced out an S curve lol. Bet you all got it as well.
I agree with your premise. But to get a little finer tuned.
At the Asian Open in the finals Aranas broke and ran 9 of 12 of his breaks (and lost) and Ko won the event with 6 of his 12 racks being table runs. I recall that was also 9-ball on a 9 foot table with a template rack, no break box, and the 3 point rule in place. So that was 75% for Aranas and 63% between them.
Take that down to a bar box without a 3 point rule, I’m thinking the break and run likelihood could be closer to 80% under those conditions for a 800 Fargo. That would be 1.4% chance of occurring.
While I could not run this amount as I am into my early 70's now. I do find it somewhat underwhelming.. One, because I am not a fan of bar boxes and never have been.. Two, because it is nine ball on a bar box. Nonetheless it is quite an accomplishment on his part; but I would be far more impressed if it had been on a standard nine foot Diamond..
