- Start date
9-5 Alex leading
Thank you buddy!
2 of the early games came down to one ball
Alex made 2 beautiful severe back cut spot shots to win those games
Those games tony had a chance to win but the games would have been over without the spot as alex got to 8 first

I have seen many people lose even and get 9-8 and dominate. It might be more mental than actually how many times it comes down to a single ball.I guess we can all agree that its better than 8-8 and not as good as 10-7
I think 9-8 is an excuse to play. Like the call 8 in 9B.
It’s funny how that works, 9-8 has always been an interesting spot. 8-7 is a totally different animal than 9-8.

Fatboy<——-needs 10-6.
It is when the actual balls needed per game average out to closer to 27/11
There really has been some great one pocket played by both players so far.
Alex played great the first couple of hours last night and got a 4-0 lead.
After that, they played even the rest of the night and Alex ended up 9-5 to finish off day one.
Long way to go to win the cheese.
Day two live play begins at 4pm central time today.
Double J Jeremy Jones will be breaking down the shots and strategies with EXPERT One Pocket commentary.
Tune in and sweat some great High Stakes World Class One Pocket Action.

Really great commentary from three One Pocket Hall of Fame players Jeremy Jones, Billy Incardona and Scott Frost.
Listing to these three is like taking a master class at learning high level One Pocket.

I need a much bigger spot than that to make a difference.
HI. I'm trying to learn about spots. Why is those two spots so different? Thank you

With an 8-7 spot there will always be a ball left on the table, either 8-6 or 7-7 game scores. With a 9-8 spot both players will need to play the same ball if the game goes to the hill.
Holding someone to a lower number is the more important aspect of a spot, what the ball count is for the stronger player isn’t as important.
It’s much harder to hold someone to a lower number as the stronger player. The extreme case would be 2-1. It’s still a one ball difference but favors the weaker player. If they play 100-99 the stronger player has the best of it by a mile.
So 8-7 is more weight than 9-8
That help?

Fatboy<———needs 10-6 but would rather have 10-5. Which is what makes handicapping 1P a beautiful thing.
14-7 Alex. Current game is a long uptable game score (ball count) 6-5 Alex.
I don’t know 1p well enough to know if Tony is off his game or Alex just isn’t giving him any air. So far it’s been a clinic by Alex.
Billy just left the booth.
It's great to be able to hear commentary
by both these guys together.
I'm very fortunate.
(BTW, I bet on Tony), either way, I'm enjoying this!
