Great interview. Svb talking about the how the ass beating he took against fedor in that race to 50 making him self analyze and get back to putting the work in. The goats always never get tired of winning no matter how much success they have. It’s never enough.

I recall reading I believe it was Johnny archer when he was in his prime (could be wrong it was a while ago) showed up for a straight pool tournament and won it playing super aggressive.. blowing racks wide open. It was a different form of straight pool then they were used too. Again I could be...

Good lord.. that needs bleachers for sure. Why even be there. This reminds me of when the pga got a new ceo and he went to his first even and was like why the hell is anyone coming to these touraments.. you can’t see anything. Lol so he started building up areas at the courses where the...

Yeah my friend who is mid 600 Fargo and has played in plenty of predator and matchroom events because he has a high 6 figure job and can lol got invited by matchroom to come to London and play in the uk open. He knew why he was being invited. He looks like a pro. He carry’s him self and acts...

I think mid 600s .. actually Bergman lost to a mid 600 player in this last tournament. I’m on the fence about this. It’s really cool that an average guy can go play in a pro tournament in pool. One of the only sports you can pay an entry fee and play with the pro’s in a major event.. on the...

They are.. they make what they now call league cut pockets. They are 4.75 inch. Still tougher then a valley because of the depth of the pockets but they are buckets

Ughhh I’m not sure. The table is mint green . not only do I not like the cloth color the orange pockets are terrible. You can’t see it from the score but where it says diamond is black with orange letters which doesn’t make sense either lol not for me

You could say the same thing in virtually every sport.. that’s why it’s hard to compare past champions with current ones. To me even though I love tiger woods Bobby jones is the greatest to ever play the game. Who knows what he could have done with today’s equipment.

Fillers 2nd miss when it was 7-7 was bad.. you would never expect him not to get out from there. He didn’t have to do anything with the cue ball. He could play that shot any way he liked. I’m sure svb was stunned when he was back at the table.

Just goto their web site. I think the live scoring and brackets are free. You have to pay if you want to watch the matches. But it’s pretty cheap imo and the production is good and they always have at least 4 matches available to watch.

You need to be born with certain genetics and then put the work in to get greatness. We all can’t be Michael Jordan or tiger woods etc. etc. no matter how much work we put in. Natural ability + intense love for a game + incredible drive to win = goat

Yeah Fargo doesn’t matter much.. what’s he playing on at home? Is that a lot of barbox? Is it big pockets? Fargo doesn’t take a lot of things into effect and it’s why I give it very little thought to how a player plays. There are players with higher Fargo then me but all they play is 8 ball and...

I’ve learned as I’m older to take a break for 10 mins. Or so when I feel I’m not focused.

Exactly.. that being said I always blame myself when it happens because after 30 years of playing I know I should stand up and reset. Absolutely not the same .. this is referee standing right by your table. He should know better as a referee to stand still when a player is down on the ball and...

His wife just had it a couple months ago and he took time off. I think this is his first big tournament since taking time off. I didn’t know he didn’t like to practice which is wild. The sold the clothing company..
