Derby City Banks and One Pocket

Not a bank pool player, but when Justin pocketed the 8 that was hanging. Wouldn't it have been better to make it and scratch? Now you're down 4-3, but there's 2 balls spotted and Fedor doesn't have anything easy.

Seems like if you just pocket the 8 like he did, it's going to be real tough to leave Fedor safe.

i guess he "cherishes" the scored ball higher than in a similar situation in one pocket. but yea i was thinking the same

I'm just average at banks, but it's my favorite game. I don't think I've ever seen anyone follow the ball in like in one-hole, either locally or at DCC. I guess its just not done?
 
svb should be considered a decent favorite over roland imo, he's played great one pocket this week. the 9b feels like a foregone conclusion, needless to say
