Shaw/ Bergman- OFF

When you get in stroke, everything looks like a run-out on a bar table playing Eight Ball. I have vague memories of feeling that way. Once upon a time I never looked for a safety (that was a great way to kill your action), and always played for a run-out. When you're playing good you can break balls out when necessary to complete the run.

One thing I noticed back then was that by playing my best, a lot of guys would keep putting their quarters up because they wanted to be the guy to beat me. If I started playing safe (dirty pool they used to call it), everybody would quit and there would be hard feelings. So the best strategy was to get up there and run out whenever you could. :wink:

LOL!

I did the same thing.

I didn't take mercy on anybody who put a quarter up. Especially if we were playing for drinks or money. I played "balls to the wall" on everybody...men, women, blind, cripple, or crazy. I can't count the number of nights I stayed on the table for HOURS, and HOURS, and HOURS before I ever lost a game.

I had people put a quarter up who couldn't run two balls. They just kept putting quarters up to see if they could ever make a ball or two before I ran out on them.
 
Can someone please ask on the stream chat if there is gonna be a replay loop, and relay that info back here?

Thanks,

Old school 8-ball. Take what you make!

No. It's open table if at least one of each is made. Otherwise, take what you make.

[Stated differently, if you make balls from just one group, you must play that. Otherwise, open.]

Ray said he is going to try.

He tried to loop the Busty/Alex match last night but had some technical issues with software and it didn't want work properly.

He was super tired after having to move all the equipment and set it back up in the back room and it was like 4am and he gave up on it fast when it didn't work.

So hopefully he's got it worked out now, we will see lol

Great match, Corey has mounted a big comeback and has now tied the match up
