I didn't know what pool was at 14. This kid can flat dab it. Cool as ice in that shoot-out with Sky.The event is held in the conference center/ballroom portion of the property. Minors are certainly allowed since there is no gaming in that area.

Did you watch the match dude? It looked to me like he really didn't care. That other kid dogged his brains out and still got there.Irrespective of how you get there, it sucks dinkey docks to win more games and be loser.
Bad Boys are streaming the amateur tables.If anyone interested in the BCA events it looks like Bad Boys is streaming a table:
Anyone come across any other streamers?
I did see it but none of the shootout.Did you watch the match dude? It looked to me like he really didn't care. That other kid dogged his brains out and still got there.
It's a joke for me too. Super funny that I can't run out!I did see it but none of the shootout.
I don't think Shane has looked like he cares for a couple years, but I always thought he had a bit of a nonchalant demeanor at the table anyway.
9 and 10 b with template rack is a joke for these guys, imo. I can see why it bores a man after a while.
But for this event, they are not using a template. And the B&R percentage through 75 games on the main streaming table so far is 8% (a total of 6 B&Rs in 7 matches).... 9 and 10 b with template rack is a joke for these guys, imo. I can see why it bores a man after a while.
He was up one set and 3-1 in the second set and then missed a 10 ball down the rail. I haven’t spent a ton of time watching him But he looks beat down to me.I entered spectating the match prepared for a similar mindset. But watching the it I saw Shane win 4-1 then lose 4-3. So he was put in a shootout when he would have been up 7-5. And he missed his first shot and they both held serve from there on out to lose true shootout 4-3.
He didn’t play like it’s 2012. He missed some shots and shapes that we would have taken for granted a decade ago. But I wouldn’t have said he looked checked out. He simply is a legend past his apex still playing top level pool and the format didn’t do him any favors.
But looking at his eyes… He seemed in it to win it. He looked hungry.
??? The only 10-ball SVB missed against Souto was in the first game of the second set. He later trailed 1-3 in that set before losing it at hill/hill.He was up one set and 3-1 in the second set and then missed a 10 ball down the rail.

Also worth noting he missed it into the rail, toward the corner where balls were rolling off toward the rail. But to be fair, he did hit it hard enough that roll off probably wasn’t a factor on that shot. It was a tough cut that I would’ve called him a favorite for 10 years ago.???

Right...didn't mean to imply my comments were solely regarding the alfalfa tournament.But for this event, they are not using a template. And the B&R percentage through 75 games on the main streaming table so far is 8% (a total of 6 B&Rs in 7 matches).
I'm sure the B&R% will improve later. In the first two events in this series this year, it was 16% and 21% in the streamed matches.
I feel ya, doll.It's a joke for me too. Super funny that I can't run out!
IMO, it is the fact that these 800+ Fargos can all win a big event and unless you have the kind of fire one sees in the early years- currently gorst/ filler, past svb/ Appleton/ Mika, etc...- players quickly realize the mental and financial resources might not be worth it.He was up one set and 3-1 in the second set and then missed a 10 ball down the rail.

It is play, but it is a tough row to hoe.to be a pool pro, you know?
That sponsorship might cool the fire a good bit too.most at that level (800+) have good sponsorship and they often finish in the money. i'm more worried for those a bit lower on the ranking who don't have that but still have the ambition
I've got a hunch that data from your basement would be pretty good.Right...didn't mean to imply my comments were solely regarding the alfalfa tournament.
They were referring to what I've seen in pro pool over the last couple of years, coupled with data collected in my basement.
Volume, for sure.I've got a hunch that data from your basement would be pretty good.![]()
I don't know about sponsored pros making all that much. They don't demand that much until they are successful, then even being a 5x us open champ isnt a guarantee of a paycheck.most at that level (800+) have good sponsorship and they often finish in the money. i'm more worried for those a bit lower on the ranking who don't have that but still have the ambition
