I'm a small-time bettor...........the T.Rex cleaned my clock. :sorry:I don't think anybody thought he played under Scott. Most of us just didn't realize what a monster he was. I can't think of a time I was more thoroughly impressed with someone's play. He never gave an inch and never backed down. He played his aggressive style all the way to victory.
Plus the guy probably has the only nickname in pool that's not annoying. Way to go T-Rex!!!

I never thought that there could be a player more aggressive than Frost, but Tony is the man.
ATM I think the best 1-pocket player is the world is clearly Tony, Alex or Dennis.
Frost is not "that" aggressive, he is actually fairly controlled and his aggressive shots almost always have a strong component of cueball safety position. There is no way Frost shoots the banks Tony did at the same speed, he pocket weights almost every bank if/when he can while Tony even at 7-7 just fires at them.
What Tony actually has on Scott is way more accuracy on the long key pots. Tony missed very few table length pots that "could" sell out the game if he missed. Every time he needed to stroke in a long tough shot and risk leaving Dennis something he made the ball. Scott misses some of those due to flat out not hitting the ball as straight as Tony does.
In a huge money match of Frost vs Tony I gotta give Tony the edge. Scott would probably outplay him to the outs a little more, but he is going to give back a larger percentage of those games due to simply missing a key ball every few games.
Alex actually misses more balls under the pressure as well, I think Tony vs Alex would be a tough match for both players. Alex is going to make Tony shoot more tough shots than Dennis did as he moves balls and hides his cueball way better than Dennis does. But Alex does miss more than Dennis.
ATM I think the best 1-pocket player is the world is clearly Tony, Alex or Dennis. I think any one of them on a given day/week can beat the other.
A step down and you have Shane, Frost, and maybe Hall and Danny. I am not putting in Daulton because he has been semi-retired for a couple decades and it shows in his inconsistency.
No Efren?

When I saw Alex pooch that cinch 9-Ball for all the win in that match against Shaw previously, that was the moment I decided to never bet on him again.Alex actually misses more balls under the pressure as well, I think Tony vs Alex would be a tough match for both players. Alex is going to make Tony shoot more tough shots than Dennis did as he moves balls and hides his cueball way better than Dennis does. But Alex does miss more than Dennis.
