First up table game of the match that I can remember ... Tony's experience is showing, he is playing a very disciplined game, as is Dennis .. This is one hole at it's finest !!

We now have a race to 9 for one hundred dimes.

Lou,

I usually agree with your posts but think you are a bit off base here.
Do you feel the commentators should play/think the game better than the best pool players on the planet?
If so, they would be playing, not commenting....
Commentators are simply there to give a little insight, not know everything.
JMHO....


No, I don't think commentators should necessarily play better. But Jay is a mediocre 1pocket player trying to tell the audience what champions are thinking and trying to do.

I think commentators should be knowledgable enough to speak with some amount of insight -- based upon experience and knowledge about the game -- and accurately address what's going on on the table if they're going to step up and attempt commentary at this level. This is not mid-level hackers going at it in the early rounds of the DCC.

Jay's is always calling:

The wrong shot

The wrong strategy.

The wrong thinking.

That's why guys who know 1pocket are railing against his clueless commentary on the chat.

Now OK -- if you're new at 1pocket and totally clueless, maybe Jay's "insights" are of some value. But if you know jack about 1pocket you are rolling your eyes and muting him (I am)... probably right after you throw something at your screen :)

I sense a match for cash between Jay and Lou. No other way to settle who knows more about one-pocket.

Looks like a trend has been established .. Second up table game in a row and I think we will be seeing a lot more.

Tony might be figuring that since Dennis hardly ever misses a shot he is not going to give him an opportunity to make more than one at a time.

So far Tony is out moving and out thinking Dennis.

Tony reminds me of Billy Johnson playing one pocket....
....banks 'me good when he drills them...and doesn't move his head.

Sounds to me like you didn't even have to watch the match to come up with these comments, because I called the correct shot and strategy the.majority of the time. By now everyone knows you are.my personal stalker\knocker. Good luck with your crusade against me. You are truly a pitiful person.

I see why that little pussy cat Barton got all riled up.

I didn't see it back then.

traffic on the 880 is brutal. Tough to get anywhere at 6. It will be pretty full in about an hour.
