I must say........I did not expect such a lop sided beat down here. Maybe it’s the pace of play effecting Morra but I thought the slower pace would actually be to his advantage here. Guessing Bergman is just better?
Yes. He is. Much.

I think Bergman would win with this pace of play. Shaw would implode.
Bergman might play if they are in Vegas at the same time. I don't think he would go out of his way again though.
Thanks. I like it that way better myself.Yep.....................
This performance is drastically different from the predicted result of a match between players with 791 and 781 ratings.
Each game is predicted to be 51.7% for Bergman and 48.3% for Morra. A 70-46 total match result is technically within a two-sided 95% confidence interval, though just barely. A 71-45 result would be outside the 95% CI.
I've known Justin since he was 9 years old. He is an incredible player that can play both at a very deliberate pace like he is in this match, as well at a very quick pace under shot clock conditions. If he is playing at that pace without a mandated shot clock, you might as well just quit, because he knows he has the nuts and not going to lose. I bought this stream for 2 reasons. 1) I wanted to watch very tactical high level pool, and 2) all the stream money is going directly to the players and will try my best to support Justin any time he is in a match. I have read pretty much all of comments on this thread and don't recall seeing one person blame Morra for the speed of this match. Yes, Justin is being very deliberate! But he is also giving up 15 games to very capable player. I know he's playing left handed now, but has been doing so for just over a year I believe and playing well and beating other top level players. I believe Mike Page did a study recently showing very little difference of his Fargo over the past year or so. Morra isn't exactly tearing up the carpet when he is at the table. As mentioned before, the balls are just not breaking very well for Justin, so there are a ton of safeties, followed by a bunch of good kick safes by both players. I think Morra's pace and the level of difficulty of the table with the poor breaks are just as much a factor of the pace of the match and not just solely on Justin.

When I first saw him, it was at Magoos/Tulsa OK when he was 14 in competition.
John Lewis and I ran the Jr. Nationals during that time, when the BCA moved from IA to CO.
He of all players ''stuck out'' in his youth. He had a swing that was quite different than that of todayand all other players, kinda like mini Efren with allot of outside spin/fearless.
Night 2 over.
Justin Bergman 70 - John Morra 61
Justin stealing this money. Daily totals so far.
Day 0: Morra 15 game spot.
Day 1: JB 34 - JM 25
Day 2: JB 36 - JM 21
Total of games played: JB 70 - JM 46

Can't quibble with any of the above, though I would point out that you have used the results of other long matches as a proof point for FargoRate's accuracy.
It is certainly true that a single long race between two players is the prototypical situation for non-independent trials in the pool context.
The purpose of my post was not to contest the ratings, just to point out that for whatever reason - and there are many possible reasons - the match is not turning out as the ratings would suggest.

Bergman might play if they are in Vegas at the same time. I don't think he would go out of his way again though.
