I know it’s difficult to see this and it needs some critical thinking but making the condition very difficult will make it more likely that a real good player miss a ball (maybe the 8ball) and if he is unlucky it wobbles the pocket and stays near it giving the weaker player an easy 8 near the pocket then the nine ball. Making these two will give him the rack.

Now with these pocket if a player is slightly off his game he will rattle a ball at the end of the rack maybe the 7 or the 8. then it’s all about the pool gods of where this ball and the cue ball lands on the table giving the opponent either a very easy out or a safe.

I know it’s hard to see my vision but if I ever play SVB I’ll ask for a short race and a very tight pocket this would give me higher percentage of beating him. Think about it deeply SVB could rattle the last two balls more often with tight pockets versus his comfortable table which will give me a chance of pocketing the last two balls or three and win. You could literally see this happening in the masters.

I'm not really sure where to begin here, but your reasoning is just not correct. Making the pockets tighter makes it more likely that balls will be missed. But the likelihood of missing isn't the same for both players: the stronger player is less likely to miss than the weaker player. This gives the stronger player an advantage over the weaker player. If the pockets were so loose that no one misses any balls, then the stronger player has no advantage over the weaker player, and the game literally becomes a game of chance. Making the pockets tighter reduces the role of luck, it doesn't increase it.

Your argument seems to be based on only thinking about the scenario where a strong player misses the 7 or 8 ball and leaves his opponent an easy shot for a simple runout. But (as we have seen this tournament) this isn't the only way in which balls are missed. Balls can be missed at any point in the rack, and missed balls don't have to leave an easy shot.

I'm in a "chat" with DAZN to find out what is happening, but since I'm #27 in line, the event will likely be over!

If you get through to them, please ask whether the entire final match will be available from them at some point.

Make an experiment with weaker player than you that never beaten you. Or a better player than you’ve never beaten. Play 10 times on tight pocket and 10 times with large pockets. Come back to me with the results. Cause I did this experiment myself.

Otherwise here we’ll be just talking and I know it’s hard for people to vision this but results will show you exactly what I said. Go ahead I’ll be waiting and record all results with scores.

Make it short races. I’ll be waiting if you’re willing to see how crazy this is. Make sure to write down everything.
 
I was trying to find more information about Lo Ho Sum online, but there's not much available: "Lo Ho Sum has not stated much regarding his family to the general public or media yet when it comes down to family. Lo seems to be a private persona as the poo player has not shared much about his personal life. In addition to that, Lo Ho has also kept his Instagram account confidential, which we respect." :)

I noticed in addition to his diamond stud earring and Apple watch with a sports band, he's wearing a wedding band. :love:

Commentators said Kelly Fisher last year was in Alex Kazakis' corner, giving him advice and encouragement to win, which he did, and they said she was also doing the same with Lo Ho this year.
:cool:
