Most "pros" do not bet their own. That is a dynamic that fascinates me. It must be great to just play for jelly if you win with no risk if you lose. Imagine being good enough to have backers that will put you in, even when you may not have the best of it. I have had plenty of times with people...

No matter the tournament....a bunch of kids playing in a schoolyard. Only 3 people are supposed to win. Always been that way and always will be.

It's the indian....not the arrow.

Bet....this ain't ever gonna happen.

Asian tomato stake.

Have Lukas play Styer for some big money and a Mosconi spot....

She plays very strong....the American females are barely B+ players. Against the best Asian players, she is not in the top 5. Rankings are based on attending and getting points.

I'm a 650-670 player. 4", 4.25" don't change the game much. Both players are on the same table regardless.

Yawn....

Your stats prove it is averaging over 25%....

There are levels to everything. Among the elites the percetages are much higher. Gorst has had break and run percentages of 39 and 41% in long races. SVB has crested 40% in many of his long races. Orcullo, Filler, Bergman.... I know short stops who break 25% routinely. Even with break...

World class percentages at 30 to 35%. I think it was Bustamante who said he never broke and ran more than a 7 pack in competition.... I did, on a big pocket Gold Crown 9 footer for a $10 set. It took being able to shoot PLUS a lot of work on my break.

Correct... You are either a run out threat or not. If not...you better work on not selling out when you miss, playing strong safeties and managing racks until you have a that you can get all the way out. It can take a couple years of actual work to move someone from his level to a guy I might...

Work on the break. Also practice throwing 4 , 5 or 6 balls and try to run out from ball in hand. If you can run out 5 or 6 balls 80% or more....paired with a good break...you will be a threat to run out when needed to win.

Give them time.....
