TX Open

glad to see shuff win. and glad to see deluna not win..

10% of profit.

Doubt he went for a lot in this field but just saying always get your money back first. I also believe 10% is pretty much what I do every time unless I just hate the guy I bought lol.

i can't be paid to watch an auction but i know it was livestreamed on youtube. i would think shuff wasn't very expensive, maybe around top 10 in this field
 
🥳Awesome win for Shuff!!🥳

Shuff only got $500 from the guy that bought him in the auction.
That stinks. IMO, if he won 8,000, he could have been a little more generous. I don't know what Brandon went for in the auction, but I'm thinking it might not have been a big number compared to some of the others, e.g., Tony Chohan, Alex Pagulayan, et cetera.
 
$300. One of my friends asked him afterwards.

Here's the bracket for 9 ball. https://digitalpool.com/tournaments/2026-texas-open-9-ball-championshipstm/bracket

At his level not buying all of yourself for $300 is the crime here. That was what I went for in a tournament a few weeks ago, and got all myself, I'm a banger, he's one of the best in the US.
 
One thing was crystal clear watching the main table. The balls are SO MUCH easier to identify using the traditional colors! It's not even close. This is one thing about the WNT that still troubles me. A VERY bad decision that should be corrected!

Deal or no deal. Show some respect for an American game and don't try to turn it into a derivative of snooker!
 
Customary is 10%. The guy was greedy.
Over the years, I’ve heard different sides of this. The other side of this I’ve heard of the player does not buy any part of himself that you don’t owe him anything. Then there’s other people that say you know you should give him a little something. I personally would give them a little something.
