The best players are the ones that can do both at a high level, but at the end of the day, I'd still rate being a great tournament player as a better level of success.

Any pool player that says they'd take being known as a great money player over a world champion is lying.
Completely agree.

I dunno, I don't think this proves Dodong's not a top money player,
or is a good example of how Fargo can get it wrong.

The final score in games was 65-67.
Dodong ran a 7 pack, it's not like he was shaking.
And it's not like he's rarely in action, or rarely wins.

Fargo has them within 2 points of each other, and after 132 racks there's only a 2 game difference.
So I'd say Fargo nailed it.

Sure, Dodong's lost some high profile money matches, but those are to very strong players like Biado,
and he doesn't lose by much. Fargo was pretty close on that one too.

I think if they played many sets, we'd see Dodong win about half of them.

Dodong is also constantly improving. I've been following his progress for at least 3 years now and he's always getting better. The Dodong that lost in money matches to Biado and Ignacio a year ago is not the same Dodong as today. Meanwhile, I haven't noticed any improvement out of Biado and Ignacio.
