Justin Bergman vs Tom Cousins

just speaking out my butt, but im guessing 5k winner 3k loser.

or if the ppv is bigger 10 and say 6k.

there is a bigger game down at the local bar, i think i will go watch that instead.

If I had known about this earlier I would have put money on Tom Cousins. I like Bergman but those UK players are on a whole different level of playing 8 ball on smaller tables. Like others have said, it's mainly because they see patterns better and Tom Cousins moves around the table without a care in the world. Seriously, it looked like nothing ever bothers that guy.

On a side note, and I'm sure it's because of the KC open and the UP promoters did not want this to be any longer, but a race to 30 barbox 8 ball for $100k? I do not care for these dopey long set matches, but does anyone else think it should have been a race to 50?

Im
I'm a donkey....broke and ran a 12 pack in barbox 8 ball. It isn't anywhere as hard as running a 5 pack in 9 ball on a 9 footer.

For pros bartable 8 ball is just too easy of a game.

But that’s what makes the game hard. Because the other guy can do that too. Pressure matters. I don’t know you and I try not to generalize too much or disparage so pardon this…but that 12pack likely wasn’t in the heat. When the other guy can keep you sitting for a half hour it’s different. There’s a reason why it doesn’t happen even in pro events with the best in the world with extremely rare exceptions.

I’ve got a couple double digit ones myself but they don’t really count cuz it was for nothing. My largest pack of BB8 that matters is 5 and you better believe I’ve had many chances to beat that lol. *woof woof

well that's not my argument.
8ball is a different game and it's just as hard if not harder. the difficulties are in different aspects of the games so really hard to compare and should not be compared.

My argument is that 8ball on a barbox with big pockets is not as hard as 8ball on a tight 9ft table. in fact it's much easier and having pros play in such conditions is nothing more that a joke, cheap

30-25. He made a nice comeback at the end, but too late. Both played really well for most of it. Justin's break let him down, but when Tom made a mistake, he really capitalized on it. I think a rematch would be much closer.

Not making excuses for Justin, but coul his new cue maybe have been a factor in the loss?

Did you do a break stat on one of the Ultimate Pool events? I thought I saw one but I can't find it.

I'm thinking he was still getting used to it, but his problem seemed to be with his break, either scratching or coming up dry. He started having success with it after changing it up, then missed once and switched it again. I believe Johnny went to him and relayed some advice from Appleton to go back to the break that was working. He did that and things started coming together. His position play and shot making seemed pretty typical of him.
