Do what works for YOU!
Obviously Shane is burnt/tired out. Probably would rather be fishing.
Shaw needs this win way more than Shane does lol.
Shane has absolutely nothing to prove, having done well in tournament play and the Philippines over the past year, he's probably bored at this point of the Fall--- played a lot of competitive pool.
Shaw, on the other hand, not much competitive success lately other than the "pro/am" Turning Stone.
IMO, Shaw may even not be picked for Mosconi Cup.
He's playing really solid pool now
I think the stream went down early, but Shane can’t break the 20 odd game lead. He’ll get within 20 and then make some bad error. Hard to see the path to victory unless Jayson totally goes off the rails and Shane catches some monster gear tomorrow.
Jayson is also playing well. He’s made some crazy shots and his jumping in particular has been good.

I call that bad place....'home'
That is a load of crap. Shane has been playing a lot better than Shaw and he has always played better than Shaw. SVB may be getting older but he is the World Champion. Shaw has not won many big tournaments anywhere (1 US Open), he is the king of Turning Stone. Big whoop. As far as high gear goes think back a couple months at the world 9 ball, under pressure, Shane comes back from 10-1 down to beat Mika in a race to 11. That my friend is a high gear that Shaw has never owned. He is good at the fun stuff, rarely gets it done under pressure.

Pools a funny game sometimes, svb can definitely catch a gear and shaws rolls start getting funny and bam it'll be even. If it gets even the match is over and svb wins
Mika is a cream puff.
SVB has won his share of Turning Stones too, when he isn't quitting early like this past one....
I’ve seen SVB have a bad session, we all have. He needs some rest and he will be back 100%. I’m not guessing-I know him, and what his goals are. He just pushed it too hard(I can’t fault that) he’s exhausted and it caught up with him. There’s years of SVB left and nobody wants to draw him.
Dropping a session to Shaw is no embarrassment either.
I remember one night SVB beat Alex 40-20 at Cue Club in Vegas with around $75,000 in the middle. Alex looked like a ghost. SVB and I went to the Riv and cut up the $ it was a big corporation bet. So we counted everyone’s $ out for them.
I think the next time they played Alex won or it was close. It happens everybody. Can’t win them all. That Alex SVB match was in 2010 as I recall. I’d like to watch them play again.

Some of Hawaiian Brian's biggest scores were from a prior loss, to the same player.
