Larry, Thanks for the repost. Nice to see that Alex is a mere mortal, also.
Might have been the pressure of playing Efren. Did the GOAT get out ?
Larry, there is, I think, an opening in the Memphis Melee tourney. Would be good to see you again. Everyone has a great time.

Uuh Larry...that shot/choice of Alex's was 100% not a mistake or wrong choice whatsoever - and his cueball ended up perfect on the good side of the stack...he was just very unlucky that he wound up with no shot after crashing the stack.

I believe Alex was trying to put a lot of inside reverse english and it pushed on him, thus missing the 6. Whitey

I like shooting here too. Especially if i am alex. Even more especially if i am alex playing efren. I think that may have been what ghost was saying, just that it was not the wrong shot. He can speak for himself though, but i would be shooting here.
I will take my guess on why he whiffed it. A shot like this is tough enough. But he has got to contact that 15 good after one rail to get a shot. It is easy to think cb too much. Hitting that ball a hair thicker or thinner will have a great impact on cb angle, and i find concentrating on that too much throws off your ability to actually pocket the ball.

he probably hit it good. used maybe a little more inside than he planned and slid off some so he missed see how shiny those balls are. you can tell by where the cueball ended up.
and if he had made it the 6 would be gone and the balls would lie a little different and he would have shots to shoot.

Either too many, or not enough meds
It's hard to keep track of how many I'm taking not talking shot choice

Sorry bro...obviously I was talking about Alex's shot choice - which btw, I also would have definitely shot...I slept the fact that he air-balled the 6 :lol
But actually Larry, no, not hitting the six was not really a mistake = missing a shot, does not qualify as a mistake - it correctly defines as just a miss.....just to give 1 of many parallel examples from the world of sports....if a baseball player swings at a good pitch and strikes out - that wasn't a mistake - he did the right thing (as Alex did), but just swung and missed.....conversely, if a baseball player swings at a pitch waay out of the strike zone and strikes out - that could be called a mistake (which is definitely what I would call it :heh) - Javier Baez of the Cubs comes to mind
