Justin Bergman vs Tom Cousins

If you believe that it means that you have not watched much of the UPUSA play. Dry breaks are pretty common. Scratching on the break is not uncommon as is being hooked after the break and sometimes pro's miss, even on a barbox. I know its hard to believe because all barbox haters make every single ball on the "kiddie table" and cant be bothered to even acknowledge they exist because the game is just so damn easy on a barbox.
I don't know if I would say Cousin's patterns are better but he does have a way of getting around the table with minimal cue ball movement. That seems to be a common trait for most Brits.
who is putting up the 100 thousand dollars they are playing for. is it winner take all.
or are the players putting up the money or a big part of it. otherwise in the middle is bullshit.
how come after the win you never see the winner getting a 100k check in his name. guess why?

That's how I'd define pattern play. If you can run out with minimal cue ball movement and all easy shots, your patterns are real good. I can't remember which event it was, but I seem to remember watching Tom Cousins carry his ~450 fargo partner deep in the mixed doubles tournament a few months back.
I'm with you, the $ amount in the middle doesn't mean much to me. It's promoted that way to make it seem like the players have a ton of pressure on them, in reality they're often free-rolling or close to it
is this on barbox or 9ft?
Yes, thank you. I looked up his picture that's the guy I remember watching one match. I thought he was in the finals and won. Maybe it was a match just before the finals I remember.

If they are using UP rules (alternate break, 8 racked on the spot) I don't think Bergman stands a chance.
