Shane just got 7balls off a 10 ball break in Bangkok

You are missing the point. My post was in response to your post wherein you questioned the veracity of the report from the OP. In support of this, you stated that you found it "fishy" that the first 7 balls were made, leaving the final three balls 8, 9, and 10 in perfect sequence.

What I was trying to communicate, but I guess I didn't in the first post, is that the 8,9, and 10 are almost always left when a smart pro is racking.

Under this scenario, it is not hard to believe that the 8,9, and 10 are left on the table.

Why you keep pushing the theory that the 8/9 left on the table preceding the 10 is somehow better than any 2 other balls?

I don't get it, they're all round and about get downed.

6 on the break in 9b is def uncommon but happens. I made 5 last week on a break (and maybe once all of last year).

7 balls on the break in 10b, as pt suggested, this may well be a world record or ties one. My poor math skills won't let me tell you exactly by how much but I feel confident to say say this feat by SVB is WAY, WAY harder. :wink:

Shit, I am math handicapped and I say:
66.667% for 6 in 9b
70% for 7 in 10b.
:backpat:

i assume he lost the rack-Alex made 6 in 9 Ball btw

Yes, that was at the Riviera in the semifinal of the 2003 BCA Open 9-ball event vs. Santos Sambajon.

Alex got seriously hooked in Vegas on that break.

seems a lot of champions are taking side-trips before going to Doha. Mika is here in the Philippines. he had a race to 21 with Jeffrey Ignacio 2 days ago. here's a clip, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfTqrq6Xjmk

Since kollegedave is not responding, anybody care to take a shot at summarizing his theory about 8/9/10 being more difficult to run than x/x/10? I am still confustigated.

I dont think he said or implied that-to me he implied that the 8-9-10 being left on the tabel is a by product of a 'smart racking pattern' He implied that they might be easier to make in fact as in his opinion they often land next to each other

Quote Kollegedave "Not to me, as a smart pattern racking of 10 ball leaves the 8, 9, and 10 in the third row, and if you break this rack from where shane typically breaks, the 8,9, 10 are RARELY made, and are often next to each other, so if you get on the 8, you are a heavy favorite to get out.

Yes, that's exactly how I interpreted it as well.
