Tyler trying to claw his way back in it. 4-2 now. He’s playing flawlessly with the chances he’s had
I think you're kidding yourself if you think Earl Strickland has no celebrity status in the pool world, but thanks for sharing your opinion.
When people grow old, they cannot play as well as they did in their prime, but they are still respected as a legend, just like Jimmy White and Stephen Hendry. They can't play well today, but they're still respected by their peers and by the sports world, including the fans and current pros.
Unbelievable the opinions shared in this thread about a 61-year-old Hall of Famer and world champion giving it his all. It's a privilege for some of us to see him compete at this level. For others, Earl has a target on his back for know-it-alls who sit behind a computer and spew their words of wisdom.
I can’t watch the matches. Did Alcaide break and run again in rack 7?Alcaide wins 5-2 / 5-5 now
Yup
I think Shaw is playing to audience, he is playing the role of 'bad guy' nicely and I don't think his gesture was meant to disrespect Earl. Although Earl himself is known to be quite disrespectful towards his opponents so even if someone does that to him, I call it being even.

Thanks for the response. Not much Styer can do when he’s getting dry breaks and Alcaide is lights out.
Reminded me of Kazakis' win over Shane in the finals of one of the world championships last year was it? Broke the best set of his life and steamroller Shane. Styer could not make a ball on the break so it was like winner breaks in this match as well.
Reminds me of this quote from dark knight ..“You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain”
should be good pace in this match; earl, sky, filler, fsr

I think both players shot 1.000 in that last match. I can’t think of a single mistake. Maybe Styer running out of shape on the 2-ball? But he followed it with a great safety
That’s very impressive. You can’t feel too bad about losing when your opponent plays a flawless set.
earl misses a fairly easy 8-ball, smacks his cue on the table/floor

And proceeds to tell Skyler he didn’t like the position. Not great
100%
not sure of difference, but sure lets go with that
