Did SVB and Scott play heads up in the match that I missed?

I've heard it referred to as a short set tournament win, which I take to mean, heads up.

I think you missed more than that.....

They placed a race to 15 EVEN, which wound up a race to 30 as it kept going hill-hill. What was Scott thinking playing SVB EVEN? It doesn't matter what the race - money is money - Scott should never play SVB even or Efren even one pocket for that matter. Man, this Scott Frost sure does match up bad. :grin:

Yep,every time two players match up they should also play a race to 100 so they can be sure that the best player by public opinion wins.

And you are right, what was that stakehorse thinking - he should have realized that this kid, every time he plays pool, breaks and runs out to the 7 all night long. Funny, the kid must have lost his mojo because he didn't do this when he played Duff a short time later.

Short set? I wouldnt bet my money on any short sets....I would put up my money to see who would come out on top in the long run....I would want to see who could outlast who....not playing a short set...I may gamble something small on short sets, but if i was putting up 5k it would definately be to see who could outlast who for the money....reason for me to be this way is....I backed a local 9speed player once, playing a 7speed...long story short....the 7speed beat the 9speed by a few lucky shots...if it had been a race to 21, it would have definately turned out differently. The 7speed kid didnt have the mental game to come out on top on a race to 21..

Id still say SVB could outrun Scott in the long run if they were playing heads up.

you must not get out much.

Chris,

1. Why don't you post up your list?

2. I have a question if you can answer my PM to you.

I agree..luck is luck....there isnt anyone that can always be on top...all the time...your going to eventually lose...and dont think i was speaking bad of Scott....he is a great player...

 

[macneilb]

i'm glad someone remembered him but me

:yeah: :yeah: BB 8 ball, with the big cueball, Weldon was almost unbeatable.

amen to that. he's one darkhorse on a barbox that i would bet on against anyone today, shane, corey, frost...you name it. the man was just a hitman on the box. does anyone here have any good Junior stories?

 

[ftgokie]

All I can say is that I seen Scott get beat on a live stream from Olathe...I have no clue as to what happened after that broadcast..I just seen him get beat is all.

 

[Klink]

I will second Scotty Townsend. He is the best night in night out on a bar box for the money that I have ever seen. One night no matter how many sets or what the race is to doesn't prove anything.

 

[gotgame]

U must not either i noticed you were not in OLATHE? j/k Chris i did forget you on that list by the way like i said that was a short list IM SURE I MISSED A COUPLE HUNDRED AROUND THE US THAT WOULD FIT IN:thumbup:

 

[donny mills]

Guess you missed Scott beating SVB on a bar table a few days later??

And IF you watched this match, you also heard Scott say that he did not match up the game with the kid AND it was not his money. He was told to play by the person staking him. AND that kid would have beaten ANYONE at that game for that hour the way he was breaking. As Scott stated, the kid was beating the 7 ball ghost without ball in hand.

The general public is scarey.

I'll go out on a limb and play the 9ball ghost with out ball in hand on the bartable.

OK guys David Matlock has been in oletha ks for the better part of 20 years and is in the pool room everyday. No one has heard of anyone walking in and asking to play David one the small track with any Q-Ball muchless the big ball witch he is probley the best ever with it. (no offence Keith you guys are probley 1a and 1b) So if you want to brag about anyone being the best small track player go to kansas and try your luck with the best. He has big $$$$$ behind him up there you can win a mansion if you beat him up there.

Bobby Baldwin who was David's father-in-law at the time said " we went on the road for a month and David never missed a ball practicing or gambling i mean not one ball." That's as good as i've ever heard by anyone.

Im not trying to offend anyone just stating the facts just ask nasty, no one comes to play dave ever an he's not in retirement.

No thanks, I saw Whitey Walker rob that game.

 

[liljacksdad]

Bergman has it in his head that nobody can beat him.Sure level of confidence. I'll take him over the world with the right stakes

I agree another thing about Matlock is although some may argue, he has been widely thought of as the best bar box player for not just a few years but a lifetime.
