That's one thing that always surprises me about watching top bankers.. sometimes there are a lot of misses. Of course, we also don't get to see as much running out, as they can do it.

My question is.. what's the set-up they're playing on? The first shot by Jarvis looked like it was going to roll in off of that side rail, but it hung up.
 
The first 30 minutes were more or less safety type banks.

I didn't realize they were playing full racks.

+1 to this....

I have played some banks (barbox) and there are times where I may be doing a lot of 2 way shots playing it safe while banking. I probably miss more than doing what I consider selling out banks, but the risk/reward wins me more games playing somewhat smart. It depends on who I am playing as well (no different then regular pool).
 
After the first 6-7 missed banks in a row....I couldn't watch it anymore:thumbup:

Any bank pool player knows how it goes..people that don't bank don't know.
The same guy that can bank 5 in a row can miss over & over then bank
lites out.Iis a streaky game.
Stick to fixin tables
