SS Classic Tournament observations...

[One Pocket Ghost]

Billy vs. Casey...

Billy: Moving well, as to be expected........missing some very makeable balls, including, uncharacteristically, a couple, with cueball and object ball 1 foot from his pocket.....conclusion: Billy not lying lately about not being able to make a ball anymore or, he is stalling

to either trap somebody down there at the tournament, or to trap the hacker (who he believes is clocking him here) into giving him that 11-7 for $5,000 at the DCC...:heh...

Casey: Don't need no shot clock for his games .......shoots/banks pretty straight.......can't move a lick :sorry.......will shoot at a white flag, with a machine gun and a flamethrower - shoots at his hole more and squeezes less than a 20yr.old 9ball player playing One Pocket...:heh

Conclusion: Billy should be loving this match-up...:heh

Billy doesn't get to play much anymore does he? He stopped playing locally in Dallas from what I heard. Pool rooms in Dallas are sub-par, and that's a compliment.

Gotta have Billy and John on the streaming table for the next winners-side round, or we'll all be... :frus

 

[straightback]

Billy, stuck like hell, played a great 4-cushion carom shot off of the 3 to get John back in front of his own pocket. The shot allowed him to escape a runout from John and ultimately helped him win that game. Very pretty shot, reminded me of an Efren Reyes escape.

I agree. Great shot.

In other news, Billy does love to fire at his hole!

 

[One Pocket Ghost]

John S. and Frank a combined 3 games to 0 over the Texas guys, so far...:heh...

 

[NH Steve]

Henderson just knocked Dr. Bill into the one loss side. I believe JohninNH (John Smith) has a slight lead in the game count vs James Christopher in the other winner side match.

would like to hear more on the other players you have watched

You can be sure Ghosty is taking notes on playing style, strengths and weaknesses. Mitch prolly ain't too far behind.

Nah...cuz I already know how everybody plays...

 

[NH Steve]

Well the stream seems to have dried up for the night, with John Smith and James Christopher in the middle of the hill-hill game. It was James's break and he had the better of the layout when the screen went dead

Thought it was just me. Maybe it will come back on.

 

[stevelomako]

We can just wait for the next issue of the "Billiard News" to come out and we can get results then.

Like pulling teeth to get any info.

With Bill being sick, it seems they are shutting down early to protect the gear... hopefully he will be feeling better tomorrow!!

Only enough to learn a couple things. 1)Hendy plays real well. He fired an almost straight in shot from the back rail while forcing whitey across table for position that made me stand and walk to the screen without planning it lol.
Strong stuff.

2) Keone was right. Billy was laying down when we played in nj a few months ago. I been lemonned lol.

Stream is up

Kinda early in the afternoon though. Must be a pretty rough joint.

 

[Cary]

Went 7-7 until John corner hooked him at the head of the table with the game ball near John's pocket. Tried a two rail kick, fouled & left John with an easy (?) bank for the win.

Hendy has a match coming up tomorrow.

Took him back to the hospital tonight. Was not getting any better. Trying to get him well enough to fly home.

Storm causing some electrical problems at the pool room.

There is no action to speak of to stream, so we lock it up.

 

[Cory in dc]

I'm watching Billy and Buddy play right now (9:00 pm EST). Some strong shots from both. Not sure if it's action or tournament.

Update: Buddy still banks really well!
