How does Bergman Woodward Olson avoid getting caught in the US trap?

Oscar is playing Bergman later this month in Vegas. 10 ball in the pit at Good Timez. Race to 80 for 20k. This should be a good indication of where Oscar is standing in the US rankings. He got outplayed last time they matched up. Oscar will turn around the next day and run it again against Skyler in a race to 100 9 ball for 10k on the same table. One thing is for sure, say what you want about Oscar but no one can ever question his heart.

He's the underdog in both those match ups

I'm with you here. Oscar deserves praise, less for having the guts to match up, but more for putting himself in so many pressure situations. This will have its benefits in both the short and long term and I'm glad for Oscar, a classy, likable guy who is pushing himself to the limit.

Oscar vs. Bergman should be a nice match.

You really think that Oscar is an underdog to Sky on a 9 ft table? I think its even at best for Skyler and more than likely Oscar has the best of it.

The match with Justin is a coin flip depending on how well Justin breaks. Justin probably plays a little better, but his break being weaker than Oscar's makes the game about even.

Your saying he will race to 80 10 ball-complete it in one day and then the next day race to 100 and do the same? I got 50 that don't happen

Each match is a 2-day event. He's playing 4 days back to back.

The first match is scheduled for two days, then the second match is scheduled for the next two days.

Edit -- oops, Baxter beat me with the response.
 
That is still pretty crazy but im so old i forget what it feels like to be that age.. I'll take Sky the second match though just on the stamina factor

Those are on 9 footers right?

The ultimate test of 9-ball in America is the US Open 9-ball. In 2014, Dechaine came 4th, Oscar didn't cash.

Mike's 9-ball (with breakbox) advantage is just as big as in 10-ball.

I don't think you can use tournament finishes from almost a year ago as an indicator of how a long race between them gambling would turn out.

Can I use the fact that Mike won his last three nine ball hookups against Van Boening?

Can I use the fact that Mike beat Earl Strickland 25-11 in their long-race matchup?

Can I use the fact that Archer ran from Dechaine (and, yes, I was there) at the 2015 Derby City Classic after they had agreed to a race to 25 for 10,000 the week before the Derby?

The more they bet, the more I like Dechaine and, in my opinion, Oscar's best shot would be a short race, not a long race.
 
If Justin breaks well then he has edge but I think oscar breaks better ten ball so might win nine ball nine foot I like Oscar against Sky

Therefore I like Oscar in both these matches
