Oscar vs. Schmidt 10 ahead one pocket, streaming

I've heard that they will pro-rate the stake if they go too long. That's usual for "ahead" matches in which the players know what they're doing.

jon plays it real fast and furious though, or the one time i seen him play, which i couldnt take much of
 
I wanted to bet this but couldn't pick a side! My first instinct was Schmidt. I do feel he has (or had) a higher gear. On the other hand, Oscar has been out to prove he's a top player the past few years, whereas Schmidt did that 20 years ago and not much recently. I lost betting on Archer over Oscar a couple years ago. I actually couldn't believe Archer lost. I think Oscar is hungrier in this match and might be the betting favorite. I put it as a pick-em!

Not that I'd know but I think John has lost a good bit of the fire he once had.

Is that frank Thomas over there...?!

"Post up pool" check out some of they're past streams on YouTube. They've had some good matches and tournaments from Hard Times and some from Ca. Billiards.

They have shown some good matches, but I can't fade the commentators, so I tend to avoid that channel. Much of the time they tend to be talking about anything except the match, even to the point of ignoring it. When this happens on other streams and the commentators are just on the audio I simply turn the sound down or off, but when they are superimposed on the video as well that is just more than I am willing to tolerate.

Watching pool matches is about enjoyment for me, and this particular format with these particular commentators detracts enough from that enjoyment that I choose to pass on it.
 
Yeah agree, the match was hard to watch, visually. So much crap on the screen, from the chat at the bottom that you can't turn off, to the big commentator boxes. I watched about 15 minutes in the beginning, then switched to Netflix. Both players were playing not that hot also, which was boring to me. Such a difference compared to when the TOP guys play, they keep you interested. PS, what's the count?

If Archer never pays off the loss, did he really lose?
