2008 U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship: Match 2 = Gabe Owen v Ramil Gallego

[LCChiefer]

pffff on 2:33

[chi22chi22]

If you like Gabe Owen then THUMBS UP!

[danceoutnow]

Patterns and stroke are all well and good, but creativity and natural talent are sometimes enough to overcome a lack of "fundamental" approaches. Just look at Corey Deuel. Very sound stroke, but sometimes he has to be creative to escape traps. This game isn't all about tactics. But it's a good bet few of us commenting have ever played on that stage or won the US Open. Dissect em if you want, but there is a reason they are there, and you are at home

should i use a bigger tip for pool and a smaller one for snooker? or the other way around? does it matter at all?

[lenmarchant]

hey pigdisposal,,i see that youve about watched all of these matches on youtube. and ill just bet money by reading your comments you play on some damn pool league. cause you seem to be a know it all. but probably cant play a lick. your probably one of those guys who carry a 3000 dollar cue and cant play dead.ill play anybody in the whole damn country that has a frickin apa card.

[BClub]

@lenmarchant

Okay, looks like we have an open challenge. Any takers?

Set it up, tape it and we'll post it right here on BCn.

Let's Get It On!

[dvnrrs]

That would be hilarious. I'll support that match by buying chalk off and/or accustats videos. Good luck lenmarchant!

[isinox]

@BClub got 50 bucks on lenmarchant!

[njv1573]

league players cant play dead in a western

[elementskateboardsyo]

Awesome match. Ramil Gallego is a great player and a really nice guy also.

[vipertsub7]

lol easy to watch hard to play

[lemonite1]

I agree, but how do these guys feel? Their first round matches are supposed to be easy, instead they draw each other. They're both saying to themselves,"I gotta that guy in my first match?"

[MrBolless]

Boring to watch easy to play

[pigdisposal]

when you have a smooth stroke, a good break, and you know patterns, the game looks easy, if you dont have those, you make the game look real haaaaaarrrddddd!!!!!

[phixxwutwut]

you should play pro then, if the games so easy why arent you on this video winning the u.s. open?

[regoConker]

i said its very easy compared to snooker and cushion (and thats true)

y im actually playing 8ball but with 16yrs i dont have the experience which these pros have and theres no pool club in my area :P

[phixxwutwut]

when a professional pool player strikes a ball , hes still hitting it as accurately as a snooker player. the ball is still travelling on the exact path he intended, regardless of the size of the pockets. the larger pockets allow him to strike the ball on a variety of different paths and still pocket the ball, which gives more positional advantage. if you think these guys are just out there banging away and are being saved by larger pockets youre completely mistaken.

[regoConker]

if you think that ive meant that, u are an idiot...completely logic that there are only the besrt players playing :P

[phixxwutwut]

sorry, i couldnt detect your internet sarcasm.

[pigdisposal]

play one of them and definetly the joke is on you rego. Unless your on the top 30 list(doubt it)

[demonbre]

Then why isn't a snooker player world champ?

Douchebag.

[mike117343]

the announcers are retarded

[mikemassey123]

Okay! 38:03

[Poolplayer54]

is it me or did Owen double hit on 4:52? just wondering

[mike117343]

i saw that too

[LeonFleisherFan]

The 6? Looks like a tiny video hiccup to me, nothing else.

[radtownboy]

The game is nice, but the videoquality stinks. Unwatchable. Buu...

[dand100]

I wouldn't go as far as to say "unwatchable",thats a little much.

[radtownboy]

Ok, that was a little to hard. Not very confortable to watch, is better.

;-o

[uchihay2g]

Thanks Bclub. This year, I hope that Taipei/Taiwan sends players to the U.S. Open I think it'll make it more competitive

[FuzzyWalther]

That swing arm of Gabe Owen just looks so wrong. But hey, it works. ^^

[cfcues]

I wonder why all the seats are empty.

[machismonation]

BClub, do you have ronnie alcano's matches? can you post it up here? thanks before

[lemonite1]

Gallego made the big shots.

[jwon01]

[craziestpool]

thanx. BClub, Please upload Mika Immonen's match!?

[wwwPro9CoUk]

I saw Nick Varner's picture in the promo part of this video at the start, and I saw he was the captain of the US team at the Mosconi Cup too... Does he still play competitively?

[BClub]

Yes, you will see him play Mika Immonen in a feature match in this series.

[lnd3005]

That Gallego makes some impressive opening position shots.

[mitosinuca]
