Did SVB Cheat Earl on the Break in TAR 22?

Wow!

Man, some of you guys must have never spent much time gambling in your pool playing careers I swear. Shane wasn't breaking the rack wide open anymore because he found on on day 1, all that hard breaking he was doing was just helping Earl beat him, by not making a ball on the break and being able to run out from there. Think about it, if Shane broke wide open but didn't make a ball, all he was doing was turning over the table to Earl, like he broke and made a ball...so, run out from there Earl. Day 2 Shane figured out how to STOP helping Earl, but not breaking the rack so wide open, giving Earl the chance to run...then playing clean up after Earl failed to finish for the win...SMART POOL PLAYING if you want my opinion, Earl just didn't catch on because he didn't expect Shane to switch up on his break after day 1, he had him and he knew it...if Shane would have just continued down that same path...but he didn't, and it cost Earl in the long run...because he then fell victim to his own game....bait and switch gears. It's who ever makes the most 9's that wins, not who ever runs the most racks!!!!!!

WOW!!! Of "ALL" the things I've seen you post, about tables, rails, you name it, that's the wisest observation yet! (IMHO)
"Right On the MONEY!!!"

There was no rule regarding break speed.

Regardless, SVBs break was medium speed, not soft. Earl's cheating comment was just one of a myriad of BS complaints he made during the match.

If someone uses the word "cheat" so casually and disrespectfully, they deserve to be knocked flat on their ass.

Kind of what I thought, but he was a little adamant about it and SVB didn't appear to be disputing it so I couldnt figure out how to take it. After all the posts pretty clear Earl was making excuses for himself at that point.

Wrong answer, and Earl did get knocked flat on his ass, by a score of 75-67;) then paying him back in full for all the BS by asking him..."want to play again" with a smile on his face....that in itself was like giving Earl two black eyes AND a broken nose.....LMFAO

That was hallarious! And i think i even heard Earl say, "A couple more rule changes and I'll have you beat." LOL.

Earl i is the worlds greatest question mark.
 
I agree with RKC perfection is hurting the game the breaks are the same all the time so its like its just another shot. I would love to see a match where the conditions arent the best maybe cheap slow felt thats wore out or maybe a small roll in the table or even a bad rail just to see which pro can adjust first. Earl wanted all new cloth warm dry conditions everything had to be perfect for his game, If Earl was a pro golfer he would want a dome built over the course incase there was a little wind or rain. If Earl was smart enough to know all about how the dampness and used cloth affect the balls he should have been smart enough to change his game to play on that table but thats my opionion
 
haha, love you internet tough guys :thumbup: and how was the game tougher in the 80's than now, retard?

Coming from the guy that "sucks at pool" i think i will stick with my own edjucated opinion than run off at the mouth. it is clear to every one on this web site that the 2 push out rules, or this format played by shane and Earl is more difficult. The game isn't harder but the compitition and level of talent has deffinately improved. Earl is STILL one of the greatest players out there. He has done just as well as anyone has against SVB, and still win's and places well in tournaments.

You have been E'thuged now so be happy and go some where else to troll.

No, they were using the Delta 13 rack, Earl didn't want the magic rack used because it creates a repeatable perfect rack, with a predictable break, so rack your own was used, increasing the chance for human error on the rack, so no chance of repeatable perfect break & runs.

Mistake on Earl's part.

Any device used to create a perfect repeatable rack, is the MAJOR key to creating the perfect break...as a shot, not just the break. When human error started being removed from racking the balls, we all started hearing about how the game was no longer that hard, starting with Cory and the Sardo rack, and his soft break...always making the 1 in the side and running out from there. We ARE our own worst enemies when we search for the perfection in this game, because that "Perfection" is what's killing pool today...when the break shot is more IMPORTANT than any other shot on the table...except the LAST ball for the win.

You know, that makes so much sense.

The thing about Corey Deuel that I admired was his ability to conquer the break on any rack and any equipment. That is skill, IMO. Heck, Corey could run a rack with the mechanical bridge. The kid's so talented.

What always bothered me, though, was the rack riggers. To me, when they rig a rack, that is no different than playing cards with a marked deck.

Big difference between perfecting the break and rigging a rack.

In this regard, the perfect rack would cure rack rigging, and now it seems some players are reverting back to wanting a crooked rack or a rack with imperfections. Go figure! :grin-square:
 
A good example from the match to show that the break comment was also just sour-grapes, was the fact that before the match Earl was explaining how the pockets should be cut. Earl said that the pockets should be cut and that the facing of the pockets should be made out of a material that if the shot is not hit just right, the cue-ball should rattle back and forth and hang-up in the pocket.

Earl ended-up rattling the cue ball in one of the same corner pockets numerous times and leaving Shane with hangers. But instead of realizing that the pocket was apparently playing exactly the way that he previous said that he wanted them to play -- he ends up doing a fake and insincere clapping of his hands as Shane would make the hanger and run out -- like somehow it was Shane's fault that Earl missed the shot and left him with a hanger and an easy out.

Just poor sportmanship and sour grapes IMO. Share was NOT soft breaking. He was doing a medium speed cut break.

I didn't see the match, but Earl made a comeback to tie it at 65-65, before, for whatever reason he decide to quit trying(from what I read on here). So I don't see that as getting knocked flat on his ass. It's just Earl beating Earl, like he has done all too frequently of late.

Pick apart my mis-types on my smart phone and don't answere my statement.... Sounds like troll to me.

Typical POS that's lets his mouth write checks his stroke can't cash. You don't understand the game and pry won't ever. You keep talking shit, but the talk bad about Earl for the same thing... You are oooooooooooooo so cool Mr. Master of the key board.

Spend some more time on the table instead of your computer and come up with something constructive to add to this forum.

Regards,

Justin.

you agreed with me the game is harder now? earl was great in his era with lesser competition and lesser technical play where he could win with just his pocketing skills alone. Now you need the total package to win against the top 10 players in the world now.
