Bergman-Lil John Match

[krelldog]

I bought the stream. XPool did a fantastic job. Perfect stream, and a great job by Scott Frost doing the commentary.

I couldn't watch every night till the end, so I missed on day 2 why they decided to extend the match a third day ?

Who initiated this ? I can't imagine it was Lil John, but why would he agree to this when it was stipulated to be a 2 day match ?

All in all a fantastic match. Its very interesting to see a spot this big, especially against a very competent opponent

BTW- I'll take Scott Frost and Jason Sword doing one pocket commentary till the end of time. They compliment each other well and do a fantastic job.

My other half spoke to LilJon several times before, during, and after the match. LilJon said he and Justin agreed they would not play more than 8 hours a day, which is why Day 2 ended at 14-14.

When Keith McCready came in third at the 2003 U.S. Open, it was during Tropical Storm Isabel, and there was a power outage for a day or two, resulting in games Saturday night until 3 a.m. The next morning's match began at 11 a.m., and it was a compound fracture why he did not play well. Getting sick on spoiled lunch meat in the fridge was the main cultprit, though. If they had played the U.S. Open through on Saturday night at 3 a.m., Billy Incardona said Keith would have won, hands down. He was in the zone. Next morning, he was flat.

I appreciate both players' stepping up to the plate and giving it their all. There can only be one winner, and Justin rose to the top first. LilJon hasn't been in combat as much as Justin, which I think contributed to the defeat. His cueball control was sketchy compared to Justin.

Justin Bergman reminds me of the Fonz. He's an independent contractor and is the captain of his own ship. I like that. Let him be the American's secret weapon. I don't care if he does not fly and will not go overseas to compete in Matchroom events. I like him just the way he is.

What do you mean by hasn't been in combat as much as Justin? Everytime I've seen Lil John he's in the grease. I don't get out much and it sounds like you and Keith know him well.
He did look more nervous than I've seen him before. I assumed it was the big money.

He's been 'in combat' his entire pool career. I agree with you here.

Pool is a choose your own adventure for sure. Great, great player who chooses to stay local. Why not? We've all got one life to live and if that's his jam, then have at it. He has the ability to compete anywhere on the globe and have a chance to win. I get it, I travel, but airports suck, and frankly so do hotels. All IMHO obviously.
