Can the first post be edited to include a well organized list of all the runs? Its difficult to follow along to see how he's doing, both here and on the FB page. Thanks.
SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

Oh, I realize that personal issues are at play here though I only know what I read on here. But whatever the reasoning for initially leaving John out, I just think they could take advantage of it as a strategy.
I had about ½ the money in my pocket bet on a guy one night (I was just a rail bird that night), they played a long race of 9B for $500 to $700 a side in the late 80’s was probably 10-12 guys betting on each side in Stockton Ca. When pool was a “pool” of money bet on each side plus what ever the 2 players were betting. There was no dump.
Anyways the guy I bet on Purse Snatcher his real name was Al, can’t recall his last name was way behind. I was sure I lost my money, somehow Snatch made a come back to hill/hill. He said “hill/hill my speciality”. I remember this like it was last week. He breaks and is running out from nowhere. This is B+ player pool, in action every night, but far from shortstops or pro’s.
Snatch gets perfect on the 9 after a brutal break and run, I can’t remember who he was playing but to everyone’s surprise he didn’t conceded the 9B which was 2” off the short rail 8” from the CB and 8” from the pocket. Impossible to miss. Snatch looked at him, he said “shoot”, it was a tap in.
“Ok I see, I get it” Snatch said as he was pissed off and he walked to the bathroom for 5 minutes or longer. He walked away to stall the guy, anyways I’m certain everyone who has read this has figured it out. Snatch gets back from the bathroom shoots the 9B and hangs it in a 4.75” shallow shelf Rebco table. It’s almost impossible to hang a ball like that.
Fatboy lost ½ his bankroll
Was 1-130 am so no more action there that night.
Moral of the story, shoot the important shot THEN go take a break. At least that night maybe in 14.1 it’s different. “Case game my specialty” my ass…..
The chronicles will continue
Best
Fatboy
Yes 100% they would be printing 100’s
Here's a list of the time for each rack. The time is from break shot to break shot, so any comfort breaks are included in the rack before the break shot.

Shane seems to be done for the night. Ended with a 112 (and a scratch on the break).
That would be phenomenal!
john schmidt pool player arrives (not mr. 626, for now) and just calls the games as usual giving advice and predictions on the game at hand. some stories, whatever.
and then with him arguing with shane on facebook later about his choice of draw on the breakshot on rack 38, and john’s advice to young ruslan about his many mistakes that all novices make- it would be great for watching and learning.

Great post except for the Billie Holliday. Maybe it’s a generational thing, but when I need something laid back to keep me even keeled I listen to Melody Gardot, “my soul is weary,”:
Shane needs to get a handle on his CB on the break
In all fairness when a guy (BC, and others involved with this operation such as yourself) have gone out of their way and clearly and publicly intimated that they feel you (JS) would lie and commit fraud of this nature and magnitude, and very well could have or even likely did lie and commit that level of fraud regarding his world record high run, you really expect that John is going to be all cordial after that and want to put BC on his Christmas card list? I mean come on let's get real here, you don't get to spit on somebody and then get upset about it when they yell at you.
Considering the accusations that have been hurled at him, John has been shockingly mellow in the way he has reacted in my opinion, far more mellow I suspect than you or I or most others would be if faced with a similar smear campaign on our character.

She was in a bad accident riding her bike when she was a teenager. That’s why she wears the sunglasses all the time, “some lessons we learn the hard way.”
Why is this jackass linking chick songs on a pool thread?
It’s all about the pace of play and finding the groove. I’m an excitable boy, but if I can simmer down and focus the rack will unfold.
Plus it’s a distraction from the pissing match. “My dick’s bigger than your dick, my dick’s bigger than yours!”
There are three Day 3 SVB videos today, and I copied them and did a software scan.
There was one chopped video where it started mid-rack. There was another scorekeeper error today.
(If today's scorekeeper can make errors I bet the ones 70 years ago did as well? Babe Cranfield didn't talk about that.).
Day 3
SVB 3.1 , duration 3:35:35 (55 minutes of dead space)
A lighter pace today with 14% less balls sunk today compared to yesterday. I'm sure the end of that 308 must have hurt.
Balls made:
Day 1: 1585
Day 2: 1408
Day 3: 1210

When I was a kid, the road players knew there wasn’t much big action in NYC....but you could go there to up your game.....there were a lot of players nobody had heard might run 200 on you for $5 a game.
Yes Freddie I 100% did say my opinion in the current is Shane is the best American player in all games including straight with the exception of 1 pocket. Im entitled to my opinion. Just to let you know Shane said he would play any American a race to 2000 points for big money and he offered that to someone about 4 years ago and the offer was declined.
