But the best of all was the commentary combo of our Jerry "Baby Huey" Matchin and Bernie Pettipiece.
J Henderson did some nice commentating as well.
Not quite correct. Bernie and John Henderson are excellent in the booth, but Jerry is not.
The huge problem with Jerry's commentating arises from his being way too 'in your face' opinionated. That strong opinionating of his wouldn't be as bad if he was always correct with what he is saying, but he is not. He is constantly saying "that was a bad shot", or "I don't like that shot" when in fact at least half of the times that he says that he is mistaken, and the shot that Shane, Alex, Dennis, etc. shot was not a bad choice at all. This is very annoying.
And yes, I know the game of one pocket quite well. I've been playing the game and watching champions play it since the Rack in Detroit was gambling central 50 years ago.
Bernie and John Henderson on the other hand, keep their ego's in check, and do a more realistic job of commentating on the shot situations and what the player has chosen.
If Jerry happens to read this, hopefully he will take it as constructive criticism.

Jerry however, is not.
Hope you're right, ole buddy!...I dont know Doc. SVB always finds a way to get into the mix.
I'm just happy to be watching some 1P. I crashed on my bicycle and have to take some time off from playing. I'm hoping to recover enough to drive to Houston for the TopWater tournament. I appreciate all the commentary.
I'm also still recovering from my loss in the finals in Chicago. I have so many mistakes still rolling around in my head. I know I'm human and not a pro, it's a little comforting to know even the top guys sometimes lose when they had their chance. I do love one pocket and continue striving to learn more and apply that knowledge to improve my consistency.
Hope you're right, ole buddy!...
