I thought about something with this match.
Is this the one they played in Phoenix where they were both paid to play (exhibition match) and no one got extra for winning?
I'm not trying to take away anything from either player but I was told that neither player was super serious in shot selections, that they were (Scott always is anyway) being mainly offensive minded first.
If you were going to watch or pay to watch these two play you'd want to see them trying to run out such as Scott did after Efrens' well thought out safe, not strangle each other like Artie would do.
That would help explain a little in why some shots weren't taken (such as safety's and intenionals) as to drag the game and match out long.
So that got me thinking:
It would be interesting to set up something at DCC or Tunica or Vegas and have it taped where there's a table lay-out such as this one (do one pocket and banks) and a few players (such as Freddie, Artie, Dr. Bill, Efren, Scott, Brumback etc.) come in, one at a time to look over the situation then choose and explain their shot. Like on here but it's better in real time at a real table with real players.
Not to see who's right or wrong but to show the different options that players could have.
I think that would be a decent instructional tool for people, looking into the thinking of alot of great players.
