Its very hard when you cant make a ball and on top off that its even harder when you cant control the cue ball.iusedtoberich said:I'm going to take the opposite stance and say that Dippy's one free scratch per game is worth almost nothing, maybe a 1/4 ball at best.
I'm a weak player (C+/B-) and I've played the free scratch game a couple times. When I played it, I had a free scratch every time I had a shot, for the entire game. I played this against a much stronger opponent, who normally gave me 12-7 or so.
The scratches didn't help me. They got me out of trouble temporarily, but they didn't take balls away from his side, etc. They were passive moves to just delay the inevitable, when one opponent is much stronger than the other.
In Dippy's case, he is clearly overpowered by a mile. His scratch is just going to buy one inning of time. I don't think that means anything considering the vast difference in skill of his current choice of opponents.
And fight for every ball you make. Nowing the game is one thing but not executing is another.
Its a big spot they are talking about. So I see the game is tough for both players. If dave shoots goog he should win.
If Dave shoots poor he ahould loose. And thats what it will come down too. Who will win because the game is very close. Dave is a seasond money player. And the amount off money wont affect him.
Because he is use too those figures. And too him its just another game. I her what Dave is saying not being able to make balls and execute is very hard on him. And he might even be too hard on himself.
But he loves action. And no matter howe good they play. He sticks with it. Hoping that his shooting will improve.And he loves the chalange off playing champions. I give him a lot off credit for not giving up.
He is also good for pool. And probably bet more money in two months then the champions bet all year. And what I like about him he bets his own money on himself.
I dont no him and I have never seen him play. I no one thing he will gamble and it showes. He does not pick his spots. And If a player beats him. They can win a nice score.
Wright now I make Dave the best action in the country. And he is enjoying himself playing. THats why he has played all these people.
And he comes back for more beacuse he loves one pocket and gambling. It could be his whole life. But no matter what he has woken one pocket up.
And put some interest and life into the game. Dave loves action. And he plays the games he asks for.
And I herd he plays like a gentelmen and never says a word. He is a great man too play with as far as I can See.
And he has money. And whats better then playing a guy with money. Thats a week player. Even if it is a hard game.
Ronnie would have flown too Russia too play a player like that. Even Bugs Corn Bread Red.Thats a pool players dream too play someone like that.
Even with the tough spot. Nobody said it was easy. And he has won and lost with the game.
And the players get backet and get a good chance to win some real money. And without the money. THe game would be nothing nobody would even talk about it.
I hope the action countinues and more money people get involved.
