I had asked previously about short rack BNRs and was quite surprised to hear that it isn't very often that it happens.
I was looking at the list of players in the DCC banks division, many of which could probably rob me with the 4-out in 9b, and was thinking that it would seem odd that these players could run racks in 8 and 9, but couldn't put together a BNR very often with short rack banks.
I know it is still very early, but could anyone please give me some stats as far as BNRs go? ie - maybe 5 the entire tournament? 10? 3? 20?
The following are names that would make me piss myself otherwise, but if they aren't consistently able to run a single rack of banks, it really surprises me..
Alcano, Appleton, Atwell, Beard(no offense, Freddy, I'm just curious!), Brumback(same thing!), Bustamante, Chau, Corteza, Cotton, Daulton(again!), Dechaine, Deuel, Eberle, Feijen, Frost, Hogue, Hopkins, Immomen, Joyner, Kiamco, Kirkwood, Louie, Martinez, Miller, Moore, Murphy, Nevel, Ochoa, Owen, Pagulayan, Parica, Platis, Putnam, Runnels, Saez, Schmidt, Souquet, Strickland, SVB..
I mean, those are people that would beat me all day long.. is it just that the race to 3 doesn't lend itself very well to serving up many chances for runouts? Brumback's explanation of the differences between short and long rack banks makes sense, short being a shootout and long being more strategy. That would make me think there is more of a shooter's mentallity in short rack. And the way that those players can control the rock, I'd think there would be a lot of breakouts and good setups.
I know Beard and Brumback can provide the info, but I think they're kind of busy at the moment. Give 'em hell, guys! And the same to everyone else from here.
I'm sure there are plenty of 3 and 4 ball outs, though, I don't doubt that at all. Or how about 5-and-outs?
Thanks in advance!
