Yeah I just checked one of my friend's videos and it's gone. I actually suggested that she download it to have it in case it disappeared, but she said she didn't need to because the commentators told her it would be there forever.

Oh, I didn't realize the video was deleted. Probably not so bad considering my poor performance. Fun times for an average amateur player like myself. :thumbup:
8-4 Shane.
Two odd rack openings by Shane, and a scratch on the final break did him in, but that makes it sound too sterile. It was about as amazing as it gets.

That's what the commentator told her, word for word....

It's like they always say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. :thumbup:
I would like to see you (or anyone else) shoot on a live stream and see if you think you shoot up to your potential. Of course none of the amateurs (on their best day in dead stroke) play like SVB or Alex (on their worst days), but I don't think it is fair to discount the pressure of playing in an event like that and being on the stream. I'm pretty sure I couldn't even hit the end rail on a live stream (whereas I can sometimes do so off-stream).
They're back up on YouTube and nicely titled now.
You have to wait. Not asking.
I have crumbled on the stream.:sad:
But it is most often pressure, nerves, etc...
Did you ever see some of the dumb answers on quiz shows.....
....many of them have the same reason....they aren't professional entertainers.
Yes that is a good stock answer "see if you can do it". I've played in tournament finals with a lot of people watching, including people that specifically walked over to sit near us, and on live stream during the Joss tour and some other matches. So yes, I know what it's like to be watched while playing. And yes I played the same I usually do. In the Joss event, the only reason I lost was the guy broke in three 9 balls in the match while using the magic rack (2 kicked in the side pocket and one down table), I was the only player to break and run a rack.
There are some shots you can miss because of nerves, but when it takes 2-3-4 shots on each ball, that goes beyond that. Nice political correct answer, but some players are just bad, and I find it amusing to listen to the commentary during those matches. There is missing, and then there is missing by a diamond and hardly ever getting position for the next ball.

Careful, bud. Michele Jiang also looked at times like crap in her streamed match with Thorsten. Streamed matches under those lights with cameras and stands affected all the players, including at least one poster on this thread.
Three time 2017 National Champion Joey T from Australia, she looked terrible at times and admitted feeling the nerves. and she's a hell of a player!
