bad judgement
I played JH 5 years ago when I was playing well at Diamonds. Hagar plays a strong game of one pocket, he has a style that is conducive to playing on a tight pocket table. When I say tight pocket table i'm speaking of tables with 4 inch pockerts. There's a certain pocket size that favors the better player giving substantial weight, and it's certainly not 4 inch pockets. Hagar probably felt very comfortable playing on the table, where Frost had to feel the opposite. Frost was playing against two opponents, Hagar and the super tight table, AND HE HAD TO FEEL LIKE A FISH OUT OF THE WATER. Where Hagar was enjoying the ride.
If they ever play again on 4-1/2 inch pockets either player could win, but it would be a lot more contested, by both players.
