Shane Playing for $500 a Game, Getting the Last 2, Giving Up the Break

he is certainly better than a 500 to 600. and stalls at the right time. and for sure is better even up against that serrano guy.

and these on this channel are the least experienced players to be commentators.

he will certainly get future action and win a bunch if he is a smart gambler. but didn't look that way by the way he acted.
hard to tell how good he plays by that.

I know him personally and have played him in several tournaments.

He's a "good" 600.

I recall Shane playing Dennis in one of those races to 100 marathons. I believe Shane won about 48% of the games when Dennis broke. Shocking statistic to me and is a testament to how strong Shane can play. Frankie ain't no Dennis so all the breaks ain't gonna get it done for him under any circumstance.

The break is a deceiving predictor for the pros. In last year's Reyes Cup, overall, the breaker only won 48% of those racks. The losing team only won 37% of the games they broke.

Apparently (my theory), losing control over a rack when you break dry or foul, outweighs the times you take control over the rack and/or runout.
 
a table breaking well for you takes all that into consideration.

and some tables just dont take ball in on the break.

ive seen tables that if you made one 30% you had it down. and some you made a ball almost 100% on.

having experience on a table that hasn't been moved is a big advantage for a run out player.

and players that cant run out or those that cant keep the one ball and cue ball close after the break, then the break is a disadvantage.

not talking about tournaments where racking can make dead balls.
