I don't gamble on things I have no control on. He didn't finish in the top 50 last time. It all depends on the draw. If he gets a lot of "open players" then he could go deeper in the tournament. If he starts off playing top pros, he won't last long. Unless he has been really working on his 9 ball game, which goes back to my original statement.Would you care to make a bet on this? I'll bet he finishes in the top 50, I'll take 2 to 1 and bet $1,000
He finished tied for 33rd in 2021. I never said he was playing 2022I don't gamble on things I have no control on. He didn't finish in the top 50 last time. It all depends on the draw.

It's getting hard to get thru to some people that Judd Trump is not playing in the US Open - that was last year.I don't gamble on things I have no control on.

You're not helping.It's getting hard to get thru to some people that Judd Trump is not playing in the US Open - that was last year.
....and Ronnie O'Sullivan isn't playing in the Mosconi Cup this year. Of course, by the end of the day, there should be a rumor out there that Ronnie's switching to 9-ball.It's getting hard to get thru to some people that Judd Trump is not playing in the US Open - that was last year.
If that was a recent video -- and it seems to have been posted quite recently -- there is no time for him to get in the practice he was talking about.He is keen to play again.

Yes, I agree.If that was a recent video -- and it seems to have been posted quite recently -- there is no time for him to get in the practice he was talking about.
I didn't look it up and took a guess. That guess was wrong. He also had a nice draw but we all saw what happened when he had to play Shaw.He finished tied for 33rd in 2021. I never said he was playing 2022![]()
He finished tied for 33rd in 2021...
Didn't miss it. Just didn't want to knock your action.What you all are missing is this thread is from LAST year's US open.
This is the wrong place for help, I say you.You're not helping.
Everybody has a good draw at the US Open- ton of dead money.I didn't look it up and took a guess. That guess was wrong. He also had a nice draw but we all saw what happened when he had to play Shaw.
Trump v Shaw at US Open.Everybody has a good draw at the US Open- ton of dead money.
So what, he lost 11 - 1 to Shaw, that could literally happen to anybody. Do you honestly think that would happen every time they played? When Mika gets beat 11 to 0 or whatever do you honestly think Mika sucks and that score proves it? By you saying that I honestly believe that's the way you think.
Just being honest
That is not the way I think at all and I think you are missing the point of what I am saying. Mika can get beat 11-0 by Shaw and then the next match Mika can beat Shaw 11-0. At that level of competition, it really is a coin flip who wins. What I am saying about Trump is that he is not going to come back and beat Shaw like Mika could because Pool is not his game, Snooker is. Anytime you have people who go between disciplines this happens. They can pick off the "dead money" players but have very little chance of beating someone at a high level. Shaw is not beating Trump in Snooker. A world champion Snooker player as zero chance against a world champion 3 cushion player playing 3 cushion. A high level 3 cushion player has zero chance against a high level artistic pool player playing artistic pool etc. That has been my point the entire time some hopefully this helps you understand what you have been missing about my responses.Everybody has a good draw at the US Open- ton of dead money.

Judd Trump is not entered in the 2022 US Open Pool Championship.I think Judd is great to grow the sport. I welcome his return. He should play with a cue with a conical taper this time imo. He will feel more at home. The guy has potential some of the errors he made previous are very common when switching over. Balls/cloth play different etc. If he puts the reps in he can put on a decent show.
