Well GO can take long as he wants , it's his shot and he is playing a champion ... I'm wondering if you and I play some One Pocket how long it would take you to shoot !!!!???!!!??? I'm off work for the winter and like playing strangers . Especially good players like yourself that know all the shots and shoot fast / know what to do in tough situations playing One Pocket ! Must be nice ! Anyway , I gotta go practice so I know all the shots !
You got the wrong guy here, Gypsy....Gideon was asking what "rubberize" meant...
...Lou introduced the term "rubberize"...and I would like to know, also.
I like how this is "Gabe's shot" at playing a champion. I understand that Gabe was out of pool for a few years but I would wager that he has more big tournament wins than his opponent in this match. I have massive respect for them both as they have displayed a lot of heart and persistence.
I remember when Gabe played Tony a race to 25 for 10k in 2008 and many thought Tony was stealing. It was a beautiful thing getting 2 to 1 on the money betting on Gabe. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Thanks to all involved in this production (stake horses, players, Big Truck, Terry...) Great value here for those who enjoy one pocket at a very high level.

8 days 10 hours each= 80
Pot 10k with 50/50 split = 5k
5000/80=62.5 an hour!
A lot of work for very little return.

I don't know, but presume by "rubberize" he just means miss the pocket, hit the rail; i.e., the rubber. Never heard the term, maybe it's novel - but I kinda like it.
That's $120,000 a year job. Not too shabby by me.
tough to find a job that pays $62.50 an hour
just sayin
That '08 match was epic. Tony was ahead after day1 but Gabe came back and schooled his a^* on day2. Gabe's methodical, tactical game got Tony out of his normal super offensive set. Good to see him playing again.
Well, of course he can take as long as he wants. And if I were playing the match I wouldn't care how long my opponent took to shoot.
But as an innocent bystander doesn't mean I have to watch it.

I'm kinda surprised. I thought that term was relatively common.

Great Post Don!
If Gabe gets back to playing full time like in the late 2000s, that 9-8 spot goes away. They are both champion and Gabe proved it a long time ago. Can't forget this guy won the US open.
He seems to be showing glimpses of his old self in this match but he has yet to knock all the rust off.

I felt the same way about "adhered to the Kotex'.
I thought it might be rude to suggest that you stick that term where it belongs...
...so I did it for you...

In the early days of the DCC, Gabe had about an 80% win rate in the action room. My buddy bet on him every time and made a killing. Gabe somehow gives the illusion of not being all that great while being great. He was a real good horse in days gone by-Not sure if he still has all that in him but he still has most of it!
Once again I'll say this match is one of the greatest action matches of all time. Danny smith is a warrior and is extremely well suited for a match of this caliber especially as far as the length. As for Gabe Owen he's a former US Open 9 ball champion n made over 250,000$ in documented azb tournament winnings between 04-08 which just gives an idea of how strong he was playing at the time and also how strong he can potentially play if he gets back in top form. If heard many times over the last few years people wishing Gabe would get back into pool full force especially one pocket because he was one of the best.
Lastly I really hope big truck can find a way to rent this match in its entirety after completion because I truly would LOVE to sit down and watch this match from game one to the last ball is pocketed. I think the term "epic" is wildly overused but if ever it was needed to describe a pool match this is that time. EPIC!!!

You are going to need 'outside help' if you want to watch in one sitting -What is it 72+ hours so far?
