Wu lost earlier in the tournament...did he choke too?
Your comment was made in reaction to a match and therefore is not very astute.
Now if you came on this thread and made this post while Shane was going undefeated to the 16, you would have more credibility.
Also, to treat the last 5 US opens as "bar tournaments" is kind of ridiculous.
They were anything but that
Bar comment was tongue in cheek but I’m saying Vegas is a long way from Virginia. It was considered a small venue due to prize money. Heck they were going to cancel it one year and international players refused to play there.
Vegas makes the open much more credible and will attract young talented players. It’s worth going to than Virginia. So it’s a bigger venue and I’ve seen how svb fair against legitimate international talents in much more bigger international venues. I believe the best players in the world are from Asia and other parts of Europe.
Looks like the stands have cleared out after SVB match.
Yea. The people there don’t know how lucky they are to be able to watch other talents play. This opportunity doesn’t come often.
Shane has finished runner up in the World Championship twice in a row, and the player he lost to today has the second best Fargo rate in the world.
You're making it sound like Shane lost to an International unknown. Deep fields or not, it's the same 15 players every tourney usually in the hunt.
Weren't you the same guy saying Shane chokes on the big stage before the last Mosconi Cup until Shane won the final match, taking down the trophy...and then you disappeared from here for a while?
Lunch buffet ends at 2 pm. :grin-square:
Does it come with a lot of alcohol?
Ya they are filling back up now!
The commentator mentioned that Appleton said Filler was going to be a great player. I watched when Filler won WPS in NY and Applton said Filler might go on to be the best player in the history of the game. Strong endorsement!
“once again, i am right.”
wow, you must be a joy at parties. any room for us in the forum, or has your ego filled it up?
The "deep international" field criticism is probably the dumbest thing I've read on here regarding SVB. He has no problem fighting his way through to the final rounds of those WPA events, where he'll lose to a Ko, Ouschan, or some other tier 1 player. Players he also beats all the time in other tournies.
The World Title eludes him, but it's eluded many.
There was no way he was going to beat Wu. Wu is the better player in the match. SVB is actually known for bad shot selection and once again it haunted him when he decided to jump and not kick. The momentum changed after that point and Wu’s killer instinct came out. Also mentioned by the commentators.
I know people don’t like it when I criticize pool players but if you want pool to be legitimate then people have to accept criticism of their idols. Just like I think Lebron sucks or the Lakers suck. Westbrook is a choke artist with empty stats. Or when we criticize golfers. We’re allowed to make an evaluation.
Like what I’ve seen from SVB in these big tournaments is that his weakness, shot selection, has hurt him once again. That miss on the 2 and also the 9 hurt him. It’s a trend if his.

LOL this is like major troll shit. Yeah, when I think of Shane I think "man he could be pretty good if his shot selection was a little better"
I'll let you do the homework...but look up Wu's career record at the US Open....you will be surprised.
Or how about Ko Pin Yi's career record at the US Open....he lost to Karen Corr there once.
That said, I would never say they are "chokers on US Soil". That's crazy to say that.
You really don't know 9 ball with the comments you are making.
