SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

Just a quick editorial comment: some, who have been around long enough, should know they cannot believe everything posted here and should look before they leap.

Udder than that, some of you are giving me a good laugh with the inanity of your posts. And, someday, I hope I get the chance to post up all the stuff I know is going on and being said behind the scenes concerning 14.1 high runs. I know some of you, heck, maybe all of you, would be shocked at what is being said in certain quarters by many people with industry connections. I know I’ve gotten a kick out of many of the comments. Maybe some day I can share.

So back to our regularly scheduled programming.

One of the things that has to happen if you’re going to do what I’m doing here is to be read in on as much as possible about what is going on behind the scenes.

That allows you to do two things (more actually but let’s start with two). First, it lets you represent what is going on accurately. And second, it keeps you from accidentally stepping into doo-doo.

One other thing is that it allows you a good laugh when you see people say things they have no clue about.

I laugh a lot reading your posts.

If there’s a record run that will eclipse the 21 Mcup (just that year) overall yes Mcup of course is bigger.

Excited for both

Ah the old "I am a pro at this" technique........ also a classic. The intrigue and behind-the-scenes mystery is a good way to gin up interest.....always keep them hanging.... my posts contain no useful information, just my opinions about actions I have seen you and your boss taking concerning John Schmidt.

I think its funny coming from someone claiming the honestly of others should be closely looked upon, when someone behind the curtains of this event made the decision to make the pocket miter angles parallel therefore making it harder for the pockets to reject badly hit balls so they would have a better chance of being pocketed, that's gaffing the pockets on purpose, or cheating the viewers of truthful high runs being earned on the merit of the players skills alone.

But what so funny about that, is that it shows the lack of knowledge of how 14.1 is truly played. Keep track of the shots that end a players run, and you'll find out that almost no runs end on a pocket rejecting a ball being pocketed, instead, .out runs are going to end because the ball being pocketed completely missed the pocket, or because no ball could be pocketed, or because if a scratched cue ball. This event has tarnished its own reputation pulling shit like that with the pockets, I guess you don't feel players can post high enough runs on their own, so there was a decision made to help them out without them knowing it😅🤣🤣
 
Nah.
U lose agin kochernut.
Are we supposed to be as impressed as you are that you have figured out who I am? Did you have to leave azb to do it?

Youre all mad coz this fake persona you created to spout unbelievable amounts of bs has returned reactions that you don't like?
I bet it's not the first time you've been around that circle. Hint for you.. It ain't us.
 
1. The promoter and his pr guy denigrated the current world record holder and all but outright said it was fake. When pressed they said well maybe not fake but the table was gaffed to make high runs easier. Then they gaffed the table they are using to make high runs easier.

2. Watching top players run big numbers is highly educational. That's a benefit for all of us fans.

3. The only point is that he irony of knocking John Schmidt for allegedly having a "forgiving" table and then doing the very thing they knocked him for. Another word is hypocrisy.

4. We all hope for some 500+ runs, no one more hopeful than the guy spending his money trying to get anyone else to beat John Schmidt's 626.

5. Don't tell the promoter. He has not and likely will never acknowledge that John is the current record holder or that 626 is the official record. Given the way they have knocked John over the years, long before John set the current record, it is clear to most of us that this is a jealously project more than anything else.

So that's where some of the comments are from. One of those wish anyone else was behind it type of deals.....
Thanks for the background. I've not been paying attention and did not know of this.

Happy to amuse you -- we'll press on.

Nope, I am shakily middle class. Bobby is the millionaire who told me that he buys........ Can't say it here but it was quite an interesting comment about my Asian wife.

I wouldn't allow my logo anywhere near anything he does.

But I will give a JB Case to player with the highest run overall. Up to $1500 to spend on a case.

And, just to be fair I will give John Schmidt a custom case as well for breaking Willie's record and setting the new one at 626.

So here's just a tiny example of inside info that I can let loose: according to what I have been told, JB and another associated account were preemptively banned from the LoPB FB page -- IOWs, despite what he says in this post, he could not have been a sponsor had he wanted to, lol.

Lol, and yet I can watch it no problem. I guess your boss wouldn't want what I have to say about him said. Good move on his part because I would have challenged since of his nonsense for sure when I heard it. RIght now he is whining about people knocking by saying "it's a free stream what do you want?". So sad to be unappreciated...........

Of course, if I were really malicious I would use a team to jack with him. That's a technique I learned about from a "team" of people who were assigned to mess with one of my events.

That's not my intention though. I wish for the players to enjoy themselves and enjoy Bobby's hospitality. I hope he spends hundreds of thousands and gets his fill of 14.1 for as long as he wants to do it.

Despite what I say? I never said that I wanted to be a sponsor, nor that I could have been IF I had wanted to. OF COURSE your boss wouldn't ask me to be associated with anything he does. So save the "spin" for the gullible. I can think of many ways to use this "project" and associate my brand with it and your boss can do nothing about it. But like I said, I want nothing to do with it.

lmao, that's your paranoia whispering to you again, John -- there was no "team."

too funny

Maybe there was and maybe there wasn't. One thing is CERTAIN, you would never admit if there was. Doesn't matter at all though. IF I want to comment on the stream I will do so. But I don't because there is NO CONTENT I want to add. It's enough to say what I want to say here.
 
I did the stats for Schmidt's runs. I had almost all of his runs over 100 thanks to Doug Desmond who kept track of all of them. From each number you can tell which ball in the rack he missed on since all of the runs started with a full rack. 421 means that John missed on the shot after a break shot.

John was about 1/22 to fail on a break shot, whether by missing or scratching. He was about 1/22 to fail on the shot after the break shot. Missing at other times in the rack appeared to be uniform and about 1/134 or 0.75% per ball. From an open position, he was 50% to run 50 and 25% (more or less) to run 100.

I watched parts of each of John's sessions in person. One thing that I noticed is that at first he had two or three difficult shots in each rack. But he made them. In his final attempts he had far fewer hard shots. I think his patterns got better. I don't know whether that was by conscious planning or just by osmosis, but I suspect the latter.

In his attempts so far, Shane has had too many hard shots.
That's interesting, and the kind of data i was hoping to get.

25% to run 100 from an open position. Less than 5% failure on both break shots and on the shot after the break.

Very cool!

Thanks Bob.
 
Regarding the video library on the Facebook page for the Legends of Pocket Billiards Not Named Schmidt event.

1. One of the items you need to fix is the naming convention. What you have now is confusing and has gaps.
On the Facebook page, the listed videos are:somewhat haphazardly named.​
Live: SVB Day 2 High Run CHallenge​
Day 2 - SVB - the lengends of pocket bnilliards 14.1 High run ..2.54.45​
SVB - the legends of pocket billiards 14.1 high run ...1.55.49​
SVB - the lengends of pocket billiards 14.1 high run ...0:01.48​
SVB Night session 14.1 High Run attempt ...0.56.43​
SVB Day 1 High run attempts ...2:57.09​
SVB Day 1 The Legneds of pocket billiards 14.1 high run challenge ...2.27.13​
SVB - 14.1 High Run Challenge Begins tonight ... 1.41.34​
You should probably use a naming convention something like​
SVB 1.1,​
SVB 1.2,​
SVB 1.3,​
then​
SVB 2.1,​
SVB 2.2,​
SVB 2.3 etc.​

You could even add more info to the name, like SVB 1.1 (47) (112) (32) (147+) etc., to show the size of the runs in that particular video.

2. It would be better as well to end a video every time SVB takes a break, instead of these abrupt endings where the video ends before the last shot has come to a stop.

I have no reason to lie.

All of that “team” stuff was in your head.
