What kind of "toll" do you think Scott having to fade Alex in an 8 ahead will put on Scott?
...Listen, more often than NOT a players game will be "off" by 2 and a half balls and they won't even know it. 8 to 7 is nothing, it's quite possible that Pagula ya could give him 10 to 8 and win , not saying that Frost needs it. There r so many variables in spotting. 10 to 8 is nothing 8/7 does not weigh heavy on anyone and 9/8 is surely meaningless. Yes, even at this level. People get too hung up on spots. Chicago Bugs and Allen Hopkins would offer "a ball to everybody, it meant nothing, it was to get them to gamble.Dont get hung up on a spot.
If Alex beats him in the 8 ahead ; and for argument sake Alex collects the money, why wouldn't he give him 10 to 8 to get him back to the table for 5 , 10 or 20K more?*
Alex beat him at the US Open(I think 2013 , he beat him down in Arizona or Texas in another tourney OnTheRail put this up. He then *beat him for the 10K they each put up.*
How many more examples are necessary to site? There is a phenomena that exists in pool (many have heard of it) player A beats player B regularly and player B beats player C with ease, AND player C beats player A consistently. Lastly player C cannot defeat player B and player A for whatever reason cannot win against player C.
I have seen it a hundred times.
I don't care who wins, but Alex seems to have his number.*
