versus Mike

medley

sorry, This is a first round match, you can see a couple of our diamond sponsors bigger products and a bigger shopping network. It's good to see Aaron here at the Derby he missed a few years I mentioned it before, I'm sure these two guys had played several one

pocket

games and Bank Pool, now a frame with opening scratch, of course, everyone, if they play to pool, you know Ephraim went up, but Mike Medley, a lot of people know him as Well, he's owned Michael's Pool in Cincinnati, for a long time, I think I first played there mm-hmm around 1991 or two, you see a double bank shot, maybe here on the eleven ball and the good thing about this shot is that, I mean, there are a little, there are ways to protect the cue ball quite well, that's the difficult thing about this shot.

I think I would look for something a little simpler, especially with the bottom and the rack being so open and the six balls in there having to really control the cue ball well. I'd probably draw him on a wing at the back of the 12, but Mike is a pretty smart guy along with a great banker and player, but he knows he's probably going to have to be aggressive here and some points against Aaron and right away, maybe he gave him a cross corner bench and if not a long rail there on 14, but I think the six has a great camera angle, they are a pretty standard bench for a one

pocket

player and Efraín gets the first ball he scraped . what he owed for scratching himself on the break I think he has a little angle to get into the pile, if he doesn't have much he will go into their mouths Lee, okay, he had a lot of angles, that's why you saw more speed, if you had less angle there, probably you would try to just try to open slowly and try to continue the race from the air, but it's okay, he doesn't want to land on the railing here.

He might slow down unless he goes eight, which he'll shoot, he'll get up on the table for the ball near the side, don't think you're going to take too much care of this one, yeah, like that, so it's pretty open here to just cross. the table and get The next five didn't think he was going to roll and shot, so Mike had an excellent chance, what you might think after losing the delay, but he got the ball in hand after a scraped opening by Afrin and I just hit the ball a little bit and everyone is getting plenty of that cross corner bench that you started with in the six that will play for what I think is the 10 ball just below the ball closest to the cross corner bench of the bottom rail, you may have to kill the cue ball a little. bit here with a sort of low left draw to slow it down and then let it spin through the stack oh it went the opposite direction and pretty good, gotta make sure there are no kiss shots here oh the ball comes in the place Even yes, so I'm not sure if it crossed his mind or maybe the cue ball just got a little too close to him.

He has a one-ball shot and he also has a two-ball shot, thinking about both, I think. he can hit it with a high ball and still take the three ball down. I think you have to shoot both to keep the run going, so now he's pretty good at it, in fact, as good as you'd think he'd be. a ball to save you and gain position, maybe one or two shouts from now on so just a good high medium speed ball and I like to try to get the three down and now here's that ball I was talking about and in which he can play position.

To really maybe do some real damage and get out, he has to be willing to hit the rails with a little inside English. You can see they're a great camera angle where the 12 and the 13 are going. The four of them are actually going from a few places and really. As long as you spin, I don't think you're going to go right in where you're going to have a draw angle to get behind those balls or maybe continue, you know, to the short rail and spin. behind those balls, so he has to hit a really good shot with some internal English.

I left it here, he didn't really get the carrier with the spin, so now he's pretty thin with this ball, so the decisions say he has a kiss shot on the four that can be playable maybe the 13 draws the ten of there he's going to mix up the nine on what's the 12 ooh look at that so that was a double kiss bench combo and now he's still in a fun position here because he's moving. The ten is not easy, you don't take your side much and you can't give up a length on the 12, so what do you do? you slowly move the 10 out and hopefully cover the cue ball with the 13 on the 4, it's very easy to give up a free bank here, okay, not a bad effort, he actually understood that there were many ways to give up an easy shot, so he tried to turn one to his side.

I'd be a little worried. 413 myself, but also the long cushion player is that the ball went through the side pocket. I think he's got a pretty free long rail player here as long as he can get to him and hit him pretty accurately. Jana, this one here could sell the cue ball. I have to be careful and that's what would have worried me from that angle, it just looked like you could sell a scratch or a shot on the ten, that ball near the side is probably still a bit unfortunate, but now here it does. Mike, I mean, I think he's supposed to try to roll this ball from the spot and get behind these two balls.

I understand that you lose the game from here, but it is a very good opportunity, well, excuse me, sorry, I forgot about the ball to the side, you should definitely roll the ball to the side near his corner side and continue towards the bench on the one or if he felt like trying to gain position against the ten, but yes, he has to shoot the ball through the lateral roll down for the bench that was talked about before is that Mike was actually a very good bench player at some point. moment, this would be a great opportunity to steal game one and also game one broken, okay, I got it, like I got a little bit high with the cue ball, let's see if he decides to cut it a little bit and toughen it up, maybe trying to get a position.

I ignored the position a bit, can't blame them, like the 4:13 combination is a bit worrying for Mike. He's going to go ahead and Bank on this, although it looks like he hit quite a um, good line, just a little light cannon was lucky enough to not make it playable where he could cross the corner of this ball. He could cross the corner of it towards those two. balls on the spot or near the spot and I just let the cue ball run, yeah, like that, I really like that shot and it turned out pretty good, now Mike can maybe cross the corner of his dangerous shots and the cue ball to that ball . the nearest reference pocket, so he'll just kick that ball.

I think he's the 15th, maybe the 12th, the one who's going to bother you. play well, play a good game to get back in, you know, a little 6-5 lead and lose the game on a single shot, so Mike's going to have to regroup, he should get these, thank you, kiss this ball here, it's Well, and the camera can certainly fool you sometimes, especially at the pool table, so always, from what it takes to win back the first game and the last ball is awarded. So Mike's going to go to the bottom right pocket on the last two shots, he just hit a little bit of light, you can see him struggling a little bit there and it's all good, little calm, I got a little funny, he can get to nine though, although it probably does. something with the nine could risk putting it on the bottom of that ball near the side rail, which being the tenth and drag the cue ball to the bottom, back up, something like that, can you get it mm-hmm, a good leveling? out a little oh what a shot so I can see a little bit of the five I'm not sure you can really do much with that you might have to go out of the eight trying to get through the round I kicked the can a little bit this is delicate here very difficult no I'm sure what the shot is here it looks like he could kick maybe he'll play some kind of kick and stick shot it's just on both balls no what a shot and what a perfect cue ball I mean he's allowing a corner cross shot on the five and you may see Efraín shoot because the balls go to the middle of the final lane, the balls are quite bent here, there is nothing wrong with this shot, it seems that it is a little delicate anyway the angle the effort won't fail looks like he's hitting rock bottom oh no, he played on the bench.

I think it's the right shot, especially now, so I'm getting really good at the two he could have left. window in the 9 and I think he did, but it was long and straight so he needs a friendly kiss, he'll get it here mmm, he's got a bench in the 9, say yes, yes, that combination seems a little steep, so he I'll have to cross the corner of this bone 9, I think she goes up the 10 or the 6, okay, so keep fighting here if your microphone triggers the 10 to the 9, try to escape like this or she is the 6 to the 9.

Maybe whether you're holding your ball or you're going around the cross corner on the 6 here trying to get some. Don't think the 12 banks of light bulbs are the ball near the 8. You can see Ike Reynolds, another great Chicago player, there on your screen. Yeah, this is funny when you have to shoot from so high on the table, this 10 towards the 9 and get stunned under another ball and you don't know exactly if the 10 will come off the point, come back towards the 8 or something, that's why I say that if he does, go ahead and plate to try to get this play here through the cross corner and the 6.

I don't think it's a bad bad play at all. Oh, he played another good shot with all the balls up there and you can learn something there, the way he played that one forced Ephron's hand to play probably from the 8 here and it's quite conservative, as you can see, Efraín knows that he really doesn't has nothing on his side, so when it's like that and I did very well there, your opponent can get a lot of free throws, a microphone should probably follow through that 14 ball there, the ball near the side pocket, a side pocket front on the left side of the table I think it's okay I mean just keep going down try to get under the eight on the side rail well it'll move it up the table if it's crossed oh it's been a long time winding this ball ten really has to do a lot to get in shape now he's just moving it up and the only The reason I say maybe not is because the ball is very late and it's a good way as Mike Efrain only had a par on your side, could have knocked one out there, yeah, Mike's going to roll forward on this one, he's got to hit it decently, could double up though. and leave a small bench in the cross corner, okay, it got into shape.

Now I would have to be with Ephron in a good spot to shoot the three at 10 and drop to the bottom rail and it could really make things a little difficult for me. coming off this bottom rail with the cue ball frozen if you can get the cue ball frozen here it falls to the middle now this is where you can get a good shot at something on the other side of the corner or a long bouncer or some kind of shot of trap It's the same shot of something from before, but when all the balls were in Mike said and now he has to be careful, he will leave a cross corner in which the effort will definitely see where he can leave the balls bent and in shape. to the floor if he does it definitely a shot he's going to shoot just seeing him probably around the first diamond on the trading bar with the cue ball oh he didn't kill it he went to spin it and that was interesting to me it looked like he could have killed the ball being so close to the one who cut her and killed her behind that 1011.

You know, as you can see, 1011 didn't go, 4 doesn't go, now she left Mike Worm. I could possibly play the 12 probably need to keep some heat in Transcorp efferent maybe put the six into play every kind of look at the kiss shot there in the I think that's the 14-3 arc in the middle of the table where tilt the three and kiss the fourteen towards his pocket it will go towards the one I think so you can even take this ball out a little bit or just play it with a speed like that. I think it's a pretty easy call for Mike, he'll just shoot the one into the clearing on the bottom rail. the one and the three, yes Africa, maybe Bank in this tent here doesn't really go with the one there, but he kisses the 11 and scratches or wants to enter the 11, maybe he runs around the 4 with the white ball like Sin It's hard to know what's going to happen though and so far it's worked unless you've left a good shot on 10.

See a little hand gesture to Mike there and you can definitely escape this somehow. I think maybe cut 11 and run. the cue ball back table, something like that, you could bet on the 11 trying to bring the ball back, but I don't think that's right, you'll send the 10 into your pocket trying to get the cue ball behind something, maybe time duplicating it. Above I did pretty well with the cue ball. I have agood shot. Could Mike Medley thinking if he opened the three in the if he can see them and tickle him. It was that the six balls went down the rail opening those balls.

Yes, I like that choice. I think it left her really unprofitable for the effort, maybe ball three, but I'm going to push this ball a little bit far. I have to be careful. You could push it and run the cue ball. this side rail like this one here is pretty safe and gently removes a ball, a playable ball, you know, from my side, now Mike has a cross corner on the 8, he does it on the bench, he's trying to see if I want to play on this bank, execute the cue. pair of balls slides up where he is standing now and quite tight, my friend should definitely play this 11 back.

I think he's just going to move a few more balls, but I can't leave Mike around the corner on the one, although he's not worried about that, just move the ball back now on the 8. He doesn't really bank and Mike keeps going. always going out and doing the errand you will get the balls where you will get a free throw here in a second when you got one here in the one f ends three to one here in game number two. I don't think that's going to get there, huh, that's pretty decent. I made it a bit difficult, I imagine you can do that sometimes and now it's four to one here in the second game, it's the first round match of the

2020

Derby City

classic

that was Mike. looking around the corner that's how he's been playing I doubt it yeah he's just going to kick and hit good shot they're different he'll probably serve 13 or he'll play 11 he's got to be careful here if he doesn't . lower this ball down his hole send the cue ball behind those balls you know he could be in trouble, it worked but I know Nephron wouldn't doubt that he played it.

I hate to say that on a shot like that, but it's pretty incredible. so he's going to play this combo Mike has to get something going towards his hole trying to sew the cue ball going straight to 12 I think maybe trying to go all the way yeah there's nothing wrong with going all the way that, but usually that's not what the shot is supposed to do much like his, you're forcing the shell a little bit more and also that's where the banks open it up more for your opponent is when you get the cue ball closer, we have a cross corner on the for if he doesn't like the 11 where he can pull the bow to the side, I think that's where he's standing and hold it for a bench on the 11, I think he doesn't have that either. that or just commit to it and try to get something definitely a bank that likes a big favor to make him playing the cue ball think he's safe surprise his friends without looking at the eaten here just take a look at maybe it's a little too thin to be able to place the eight towards your grip and hold it behind those balls maybe that combo on that stripe on the three is playable this is a surprise here OSE didn't turn out well but I was trying to sweep that ball he busts and lets the thirteen get away too, but he's going to allow a chance on the thirteen and then a bank on the eleven and I think six balls up on the table is valid, so if he can get this thirteen down and a good Angle the bank of eleven balls to send the white ball to the table.

Micah does a little bit of damage here a little thin but not bad so you're going to have to turn this a little bit maybe run the cue ball into the heat something like that if you just cut it a lot and done I can't shape it really I wouldn't put this in that ball. He would go ahead and let it play out that way. I have pocket speed on the object ball and I can be rewarded with the way, okay, he has decided to play, spin you. Look, it's very difficult to get in shape playing thin, you're kind of going for those balls.

My friend is like this bank at six. Can he really get something sure with the cue ball? He will have very good speed or he will give way. a cut or a long brother on the 12 hmm okay so Mike has to do a little shot on any of the four of the 11 maybe it will be found naturally I think between the six and the 14 I think I had a big well. the ball is still tilting from a lot of places so it's okay and now he tied the game at four pieces looking to take the lead here in the second game just introduce this a little bit he got stiff now he thinks he has a bank against me.

However, at 7:14, all 15 guys will surely move slightly. Oh, I was a bit risky. I thought that this way it is a little difficult to determine how the ball will come out being so close to the side and also with the ball hanging in the corner I thought it was very dangerous maybe to make one at that moment so that one of them would come to the place, no There's a lot you can do here, just cross it slightly, I mean, you could roll. he put it on the side rail, but think about that shot, you're getting your opponent close.

I mean, you can get away with it, but you're putting it close to whatever ball they want to shoot and you're going to do it. It's very accurate, maybe he got away with it here, but I know that the ball on the left side rail tilts on a reel and I think everyone is supposed to shoot at that just for their chances of making mistakes, so will try to spin this 12. but I don't like that as much, I like, I'm sniffing the 14 or shooting that seven, yeah, so it worked out for Mike. It seemed like everyone got it pretty good and he doubled the pocket that went to Mike's side, so he has a nice routine. shot and he's got a little bit of an angle, he should at least take another long rail bench, he'll get to the real position here Mike playing for two here in game number two, you can see Ephraim Rays won game number one, he surpassed that one a little bit on the safer side, you can see that it usually results in a double kiss when the speed is right, okay, I don't know if he can avoid this one, he has to detour a little towards it, yes, he got the kiss he's going to give.

It gives up a couple of slice shots, maybe a bench, so when I hit this shot, I like to hit it to where I'm just taking the cue ball back to the end lane, maybe underneath to shape it at that speed, you become a bit thin, but like As long as the cue ball gets there, you usually don't leave too much shot and he got it there, so my friend will probably have to play some kind of I don't like this very much. I like to cut the ball near her pocket which is Mike's pocket and let it lean two ways and hit it with a high right ball and let the cue ball run two ways to three.

This is fine, besides, Mike should cut this ball, it can't be seen. It's free but it's worth it, but you get to where you need one, the balls are up here, they're not totally out of play, obviously, but I don't give him a chance to let him tie these balls up and get to where he can do something a little bit. . a little bit more, I like to cut this ball close to his pocket unless he's really worried and it's that thick or maybe you're airing the ball. I guess maybe he's supposed to shoot, yeah, for my bench, this and it pierced the side railing. above the 8 here he hits another bench on the 3 maybe makes it look like he's hitting this with a highball okay he doesn't need that to get this in the top right corner come on spot that would hurt but the difference is kind of having the balls where you can take them off if this ball gets close to Mike's pocket if you want now because you can protect by giving up the banks for the most part yeah I would shoot through the 8 here and push forward if I think if I was going to mess up with these balls trying to put maybe the 8 between those two and put it a little bit on my side and just roll the cue ball on the rail behind that strip, something like that, I think you're missing a good opportunity to give up a shot here if you save all three in his pocket, I mean, he could hit a lot of draws, oh, look at this shot, oh man, that dude, the man, I'll tell you what a shot and he put some heat on it.

Mike here, Mike, and look at this 3 ball, but in case you can't, you need to put this one on the side a little bit to get the cue ball right, here's him crossing this into his corner, okay, yeah, that ball White is going to be too high there and gives up a cross corner kick, eh, he doesn't even look at it, he's playing with both of them again trying to pass a big shot for mine, here it is, you don't have to go all the way down, just a good medium, small turn. in the center of the table, something like that, okay, you shot it and I like to think it still needs one, there's a couple of them in play with that three and eight, if it cuts into bulb seven, yeah, Mike will cut into this one seven.

I think it's the right shot to get to the center of the table with the key ball, so we're tied at one apiece and hello everyone again. I'm Jeremy Jones with Rail Birds TV, this is the Derby City 2020 one pocket classic. matches, this is Round One F, andreas and Mike medley F, from now on, back there, playing in the tournament, your own shelf, you know, jump nice here and that's it, in all the divisions, we'll see you, Efraín, scratch at the break in game number one, let's see if he decides to go to the same square that was at the bottom left of your screen.

Here he will stay with the same square and I am also right-handed and I like the lower left corner if the tables are the same for both. pockets or something now Mike's been playing pretty tight to get a look at this 11. I wouldn't doubt that he just quickly fires this 11, maybe towards the 1 slightly, yeah, you don't want to go crazy with that when I. I'm shooting, let him walk away calmly, calmly, he won't get you into too much trouble. I did really well with the cue ball at that really flat angle, so if I could get a chance to kick this 3 off the rack and going. up on the table with the cue ball here like this, there was a lot of separation between the balls, so you had to hit it with a little bit more speed or really right on the button right at the tip so that one would go towards your hole, maybe a bit of frustration after losing game number 2, very lucky that this 9 1 doubled up, you could actually hear him say nothing so yeah, hmmm, very touchy unless you're sitting really well in that 911 to be able to do something with that.

He is looking at the goal of two and is not sure what to do with the two ball. I mean, you could cut it a little bit towards five and run the cue ball up dangerously to give up a little bit of bench by doing that, you're trying to maintain. the white ball in the pile somehow still with - yes, that was a dangerous shot just because he got into those balls there in the middle without saying I don't understand what he was, he wanted something from his side, he was wanting to slow down the process of effort being able to think I can pretty much do whatever I want, but you see the ten and the three as they were and he got right between them to another ball that was there and hit just the three that they could have made.

He got benched pretty easily, but I wouldn't doubt if Game 3 is a pretty long game and Ephron is going to do this a lot against Mike and against a lot of players, not just someone who feels like he's a favorite over you know, once that this angle on the for looks like you can shoot the striker and let the cue ball go into the 14 there and maybe it's okay to hit the top and slide to a safe position and it's because Mike doesn't mind spinning his ball like a light shot, he'll play the eight, but the c8, maybe he's just playing safe all the way around, playing for a really long game, yeah, that's what he's doing, let's see the right sides get clearer. and when you don't bury that cue ball down here, Ephron is going to look for something like that to ball into the table, so it's very important if you're going to play that closed position knowing that you don't have much to your right. side rail you have to get it, take it, take the cue ball to the lower cushion, maybe the two balls are not good, but Ephron will want to test Mike from the table above.

It seems like now that's exactly what Mike wanted. I think he'll just be in state. -quo keep the status quo here and a nice view, a good cue ball coming back, if we're going to kick this 11 ball here and try to slide to the final rail, it looks like he shoots the three, I guess we'll see. What Mike is thinking he probably just rolls the 10 and falls forward with the cue ball, so you have some kind of bank on the 12, he can play here, well this is a pretty big mistake on Efrain's part, if you will.

It does, yes, it sure does, look what it is. done very well with the key ball he is also giving a shot on 6 but it is not easy everything can fall a lot follows English for a bench on 12 I think Mike thought he was going to hit that ball a little thinner than anyone else and Really I wanted to get into the 7 ball there with the cue ball having a very good chance to make Bank Efrain able to kick for himself that the 12 is delicate. I think he can shoot between the 3 at 11 and get to the side.

Rail trying to just be on top of 12. It's a shot you really have to have playing in a pocket to get you out of a lot of tricky situations, although if you hit it a little you might get scratched, but will this play and hold up? up on the six or he's going to go and play the six how to play this combination just roll down because all those balls are doubled. I think so, oh, he just played this a little bit anyway, well, it was a great shot because I think theeight. may have had a piece of the pocket has a couple of shots can score the 14 cleanly smooth kick the 12 perfect speed now we'll see if Mike wants to come into this upper left corner lower left corner of your screen right now, but in the front, yeah, top left, if you're looking at it now, see if he can get that 12 where it's not profitable, cover it somehow, he's a little worried about that 7 8 combination, okay, just rolling through this 7 ball is what he's doing here trying to get it out behind that 5 - Scott bench on the 10 here if he wants to throw another perfect q ball and I think he's got a playable combination on that side rail so I don't think you'll see Mike do much, but get over that five, maybe get back on top of the four or something like that.

Mike has kept it fairly simple, without challenging the effort too much. I would say he's got one on one, that's pretty good on the bench nine, what does he do? that looks like and he's doubled everything so he can really stun this ball I think and not give up a shot, he doesn't have to play for the real type of cheating, try to make this bank here and get behind the 11 or not the 11, excuse me, the 13 that is near Mike's side pocket, yes, I think the 12 ball closest to Mike's hole is duplicated with 13 and 7 he doesn't like it, in addition to not being able to be cute with a touch of the right.

English maybe because the four are there, it seems to be quite nice to me and I think both balls have been doubled. He will hit with follow through and there is nothing wrong with that. I'll kill it, maybe with a little inside, oh. It came out pretty clear, it stunned him, but there was something there that we couldn't see on a camera so Efrain was more concerned like I'd like to know about that, okay, it'll just cross the four of the eight over one of the two probably the four really good white balls at that point is also very important because you know those balls on the side rail are still bent, so you don't want to make it easy for Aaron to get something going into his pocket and get in that top corner another maybe Efraín in the conversation are you going to play this ball again and I'm just going to hit it lightly I'll probably try to say maybe going to the side not towards his pocket but towards his side a little bit well I don't think he really left much effort maybe a reel of two reels on the seven has a downward tracking nothing wrong with leaving it on a straight on the twelve if it's frozen on the rail but otherwise I don't think you're I'm going to do much here, yeah, I really rearranged it there, that It would be a nephron.

Did he give up a free bank here in the seven? Mike played pretty well. I guess he can't hold out without giving up a cut on the nine he could. go ahead here, that would be nice if he could go through the 11, yeah, I have to see it here and it won't take long for Ephraim to move the 12, kind of like leaving Ephram the 14 there or the 8 in the long lane. I'm a little upset that it happened in the corner, you want to see Mike have to knock over the table with the cue ball and now Michael will be able to roll the ball in the spot that being the 12th is not digging in the cue ball here.

It doesn't really leave much effort, maybe a three ball that I can shake, but the balls a little bent on the side rail, there 12 between seven, okay Maura, look at it, maybe I can kill this too with a little English and really get up. this side rail behind the 13 took some time to shoot that 9 ball before mine has some options here again for the 14 that hadn't gone up to the one and all that went through the opening of the seven, that side a little bit up no really I want to take the ball away, you don't even have to take the seven, so that's the shot I'm throwing, probably maybe the 14 because that's really one of the balls that Efraín can play.

Remove the one, I don't think it's number eight. and four or two playable, yeah, he's going to play very smart with the cue ball again, those balls are doubling, although I bank on that three now or even maybe the 15 ball there, it looks like he's playing something, it will be a little small. tight Mike is going to hit this 3 ball if he doesn't shoot something else, he's watching to see if this 13 goes through, but if it's a little tight and he shouldn't because he's shooting, we'll see how I do. you can play the cue ball, you almost get a little friendly hit on the four that would have opened the eight, okay, it sinks, you can move this 11, if not you can kick it towards the back rail by just hitting it towards the three, we hit it fine , look. outside the side pocket looking at maybe the two balls can you see the 15 in the 11?

I don't believe it. You have to draw this a little. 20 years. I had to hit it with a little more speed. It turned out pretty well considering there was a lot of it. of collisions I'm not sure that the one who leans so easily crossed the corner can play it anyway if he can get the cue ball back like over the 11 if he plays easily although he will only hold on maybe he will get up behind the 3 something like that he got it's pretty long, you don't want it to get up on that side rail, although that will hurt a little, will you ever be able to spin this ball, you should at least position yourself on it to maybe get it there and catch it. a little bit he'll look around knowing there are bent balls oh he can play a ball 2 2 shout into his pocket here look yes speeds are important although you don't want them both to reach the end rail it's a good shot of a friend. he can shoot them both aggressively and just keep going, he has to ignore where the two are going, he just plays with the cue ball behind the tent.

The key to this shot is, no, honey, don't leave it and it doesn't mean you're going to really shoot and shoot with a lot of speed, but make sure you swing through the ball and hit it pretty hard so you can get down to the table. You know three diamonds, so you can imagine you know about half. speed, I don't think the two of them really lean towards this hole and play the cue ball safely, so now you can see that the two are closer and the band then I thought that says it makes a little more susceptible and even more, so don't stop executing the hit.

You can play a 12-7 and that's not good? You actually played it very firm, so he was taking a bit of a risk there, but he also knew that ball was close to the rail and if he slid into it he could catch a double kiss keep the cue ball right there full it could be a combination on the 14 10 or on the other side of the corner of the ball that was in the side row a moment ago I think it was the 11 I think you know, excuse me for trying to put it behind the balls like that, so good with the ball white opening the ball on the side rail, letting you see the ball on the side rail, you can play with the four drawn down, but it has to be real.

He's okay with that because he could easily give up a bench on the 10th and has to deal with still having a bunch of bent balls on the side rail that Efrain can really take advantage of on his next shot. It's very difficult, difficult here. If you shoot through the 4 and put them behind the 3, maybe you'll at least be attacking a little more than trying to escape all the time. You know something like that, banking the 4, yes, if you left him the two balls. bench, although he has all eleven crossed corner balls. A Frenchman really has a lot of options here, I don't think he will mess with the five balls, he has a lot of a couple of cross corners that he can play in the eleven or in the I think.

Is it ball thirteen or not, that's ball six, excuse me, I don't think everyone should shoot this cross corner. I think I know he can do the five. I think he can shoot, but here in the tournament I think the 13 is a bench that can be made. he knows four out of ten but it's safe all the time he's going to play maybe something else here maybe the other guy plays another line there I get it okay, he had a good time so Mike can't really afford to invent the cue ball, but He really can't afford to let him see both of them either.

I think you can see both of them and I think Efraín will tip it and play the cue ball in the middle of the end rail. I don't think he'll play this in his hole so much, yeah, just play it right in the middle of the room, maybe even slide into the y8, something like that. Oh, you went for the mark and the only thing is that if Mike doesn't shoot much from the inside rail, well, everyone will move on. put it there and that's the very difficult problem, continually trying to play it safe and move from the inside rail, you really have to shoot at some point or another, enough to think this was good, very good, sweet head, He got it right enough, hey.

Aaron could play the two on the one, maybe play the cue ball next to the tube on the one, but I'm not sure there's much to that play. Get off the fourteen ball, kiss the cue ball on the one. I'm sure what he's looking at. here hmm, not sure what he was trying, friends, Mike has a big pocket here, he doesn't want to contact him, although actually because you could see at that speed, he hit him, she hit him pretty firmly, the one would have sunk and not. had a chance Jenny has a tying ball here you can see this is game number three it is a race to three it is around one of the Derby City 2020 classic his Efraín went up and Mike Medley they are three to two in the ball count and one to one in interesting games I played this, especially when you raise the cue ball now you kind of don't understand if you're going to play the twelve back to those balls, you really want the cue ball to go up to the table, maybe to the top, already you know, close the 11 balls something like that, so you would hit this with a right upper English.

You don't want to keep the cue ball here near these balls because you can't determine where all of them will be, so I think you want to. go up close to 11 with the cue ball here up on the right, in English, kind of soft speed in the pocket, I think it's okay, oh, he played the stun there to try to get there and when you play that, you hit a lot more strong instead of running. with English and so if you catch one, I'm full, we lose the speed of the object balls, but there was something there that Mike really liked the way it's set up, that's why he played it that way, okay , this is too real a kick. all three, if you like, closed, maybe he can deposit this Kenny Bank.

At first I thought they had both fooled him. No, he played it smoothly and what a perfect shot with the cue ball. I'm up by two. Now, now, here. this is not langa, just go back and put the two and run the cue ball, it seems like he is going with a high ball and maybe he can cheat, okay you didn't do much, maybe the two deflectors are better, but again, really do you want to do it. be able to follow your ball on the table if you're shooting the two riller oh and I think maybe he can try to get a lot of mileage out of that cue ball coming back up to the table and I don't blame him for his effort. play to trust the 11 here and put it on the 8 trying to open up and get something on your side, maybe not all the way to your hole, but it looks like you're cutting this, these tables have definitely broken in if the bank split was first. the first round in the pocket of this Rail Birds TV I'm Jeremy Jones, I'm bringing you about twenty-five tight

derby

games here and you're all going to stick with it when I think I don't think Michael's going to take any chances trying to get it. one out, especially with a 5-2 lead in the ball count, maybe Efraín can bank at three or 11, both didn't look so good, but the player gets a little better perspective, that It's sure, oh you guessed it, a sweet steal came out.

He, though he thought, gave up a chance at 10, now Mike is a little elevated above that, I think he's 11, but without taking too much time, he can get to where he needs one quite easily, maybe go out. I guessed it right, he will get some kind of bank. especially when you get close like that it's a little bit dangerous because you over hit and you don't get any shot but when you get close you can really manufacture the kind of spin you need or throw or maybe hold the bench up high and you can even run the ball white here if you want.

He just played it simple and I don't blame him. He takes him to where he needs one. He has a bank on the 11th, so after losing game number one, I think Mike is now a big favorite. winning two in a row just complaining about some breathing problems there and at the beginning of the match you could see him catching his breath, a little hit gave him the opportunity to direct a nephron to what he has to do and it's always good when you have the advantage, probably He crosses this and returns directly to the table with the white ball, he comes playing the 11 next to him near the 8 and the 13, he played it completely and there was a little miss, I think there you could see the left English that he had, like this that perhaps he simply turned toward the ball a little early, falsely catching it.

Efrain will give this one a good shot, I think he crossed the corner and it's great, he may have held the cue ball long enough to make a long bank on what I think is the 7 ball, he's got a slice, you've got another one here , you can cut it, cut it, bench, I think it's going to harden now that it has a draw through this ball, so I think it beats this kiss, if you go with a high ball, watch out for the scratch, no, it beat the kiss, you have it in a bit of a funny position, soMike will have to move this 11 and let the cue ball escape as well you killed it and that wasn't bad.

I'll probably zoom in on 11 again first since he's close enough anyway, this one is the same thing, just zoomed out a little bit. He played it a different way and he'll be careful and give Mike a good bench and I think this cue ball was in a decent position for Aaron. Michael just crosses the 11 and doesn't want to take any chances on this. wherever you can smooth this out or you can run past the point because you could make a ball into that opposite corner, so he played a lot easier, at a lighter speed. I like that I was that friend, playing 13 on the rail from 11 towards his pocket with a high ball playing either side oh no, he just played light, it's a mistake, they are surprised.

One, two of my nephrons could really go for this, trying to get the 13 to keep the cue ball right there in the pocket. the top side of the pocket you're just going to play the heat maybe the other ones too steep will be a little short okay Mike shoot these three? and Mike will break in the fourth game some pretty impressive stuff from Mike, then Mike came along and broke towards the bottom right corner pocket, most guys who are right handed and the tables are pretty standard for both pockets, will break towards the bottom left, but if for some reason or another you know that there is usually one side that you hit to break better.

You'd like to hit both of them as best you can, but it seems like there's always one side you tend to favor and get a better result from the break, so that's also worth something when making a decision. What if Mike is in the best position he could have asked for to start this game and have a chance to break balls here in game number four? Then when the game starts, maybe tell them that everyone needs to be careful from the gate at any time. The opponent has that ball so close to the pocket, he has a couple different shots here, he can play with the 4 ball, tipping the ball back towards his grip with three rails, trying to get behind the six, shoot through the 12 and you get under the one, but if you don't get behind the one, say you hit the one here or something, you know, this could be a big problem, you're giving up a bank on the 12, a bank on the 4 and a bank on a ball and almost a spin shot on the 6 wanted to get to that rail on that Mike's not going to mess around here, he's going to take his chances on this long rail and he's got a decent sized pocket, maybe the six is ​​helping him recover a hair that fails just slides up, although you know, he turned it back and he has one hanging over his pocket so that friend in a position can do something here playing the four in one and carrying the white ball to the table on which he played. a stack, yeah Mike has options here, I think he would drop below the 11 here, but you gotta want to have this 12 on your side, he'll draw it to the balls, there's nothing wrong with that, there's nothing wrong with That's what my friends do. he has a real loan, yes this is not bad, it is a bad thing at all, he is not taking much time here, so he must be careful, always yes, if I can play with the ball from the top of the pile and get him behind this six here trying to start gently opening the balls so you have to be very careful with that shot over there that goes all the way to the side rail because you're still leaving the kick shot on the 6, but that's not so important as the effort of trying to open the balls and get behind the six, so see how that bowl develops, spotting there may have helped things that for me to actually kick the six, now I doubt it but I'm not sure . what you're looking at, you can see the six ball, yeah, I think that's a good shot, try to hold that position for a moment, you want, you want to keep that six and three where you can, ooh, okay, I almost gave up. but you want to keep that six and three where you had a few more shots to possibly get behind doing some real damage.

I pass the six bowl here the more I look at it, he's a right-hander, so he can reach it, he's cutting. In this ball I don't think that's going to hurt him much. I'm the one I can inspect the stack a little bit, but it doesn't look like much to shoot, so he's just going to drop this and sit there. I would do it. I don't try to get to the three I just stay there with the sixes yeah that's fine so I got here now after your break and the thing is to imagine that the cue ball is in the pocket there instead of going down towards that background.

Well, that angle is a lot harder to deal with coming off that 14 ball and turning behind the 11, now it's a little more possible because you have to be careful here, although it comes from both of them crossing it and maybe trying to run. cue ball easy to give up shots making that type of shot there and everyone will cut this ball and go up and down the table. I think I couldn't see him missing this 11 maybe he can't go up and down maybe he has to try to get to the 8th with the cue ball, it's close, well he went up and down now, will it give him any reward?

We'll see who the 3:10 can be, quite possibly it's close and maybe not, I'm just I'm going to roll over the two balls, not sure what happened there for sure, if you still hit the 12 or if he made a mistake and he didn't hit any balls, I don't think that's really necessary, but I wouldn't doubt that Efrem did it. He hit the ball and just didn't want to argue, so he laughed, I think because he thought he could see both of them, but actually he was stuck on the 12, but maybe not. I love his competitive spirit, all these guys, even though Zevran is playing now. this - ball aggressively double-banks at three maybe I don't think so I think this is a shot I somehow like ball two even if you play it aggressively and softly because it's the only ball on your side and it's not going to be Mike's a player built with a lot of experience, so giving him any kind of look at the four ball here could really be a problem, he always already made one or two types of kissing trick shots.

Bank kissing balls, yeah, right? It looked like examining because there are some options there, but it sure looks like the four is a very playable shot, whether you move the four eights, ladies and gentlemen, it's behind the pile and still with a 2 ball count nothing. lead that being Mike and a 2-1 lead in this three-way race, the 2020 Derby City classic, a pocket split around a match. I'm Jeremy Jones with friends from Rail Bird TV, a bit on the ropes here up to 2-1 in a decent position here the way the balls are, but Mike is definitely trying to see if there's anything he can get on that 12 while still playing the cue ball safely, he can kick behind the 12, which I think that's what he will do. pretty tough, I thought he would play because if you go into this, how he won, I think he might have a good chance to scratch, so I thought he just fell behind the 12th and if he didn't make it, he didn't make it. . hit it but now everyone will try to swing between 13 and 2, yes I think he can hit 13 from there even with some draw.

I think they are about 5 balls away from the point or so, can you? throw this guy, can he get the three under the 2 enough to roll the 14? Maybe if so, the 3 can raise to make up for it as well and open up some balls for him. It must be a scary shot on 13, so why not I don't think this is definitive to add, oh it was good, nice kiss, there's a cut on all three, I may have developed the combination there on 13, it's close, If you shoot all three, you'll probably come into this with a little. inside English unless there is a three ball combination in the 6510 that you like, okay you will play something like that or maybe the ball and the place goes now it is on the nine which is just below the six three combination balls, okay, maybe the bulk nine places Efraín. ease three no, he can get a lot of that ball, he hit it with a straight draw, we'll probably keep it here this ball should tickle ball five too I think so, a little, it got up enough for six, I'm not sure if nine goes, but maybe seven goes too, no, it opened, so everyone will come out here to tie this match at two games each.

I got a lot out of that. I'm going to be very happy with that. I see a little smile there for Efrain just let it float this isn't even sold out I don't think that's where it goes Efrain Reyes ties our game at two games apiece and we'll split in game number five this is real TV I'm Jeremy Jones, this is the first round of the 2020 Derby City classic of a pocket division. Efraín Reyes and Mike combine F and Rey, of course, is known for everything in the game around the world. Mike, a pretty well-known guy in the Midwest. and in many areas of the country Michael's beards in Cincinnati my friend didn't put much speed on the brake sometimes he was really just trying to play the cue ball which turned out well he has a doesn't have much at the top of the pile to work with everything to stay behind the five I can't soft kick the five so easily without giving up a shot on the one or 12 possibly such a delicate bank here for Mike I can't really roll behind the five, I'm there so you have to be very careful here, you can kick the bank, the five, not bad, actually, go up to the seven with the cue ball, not really, it's not going to spin.

I like to be a little more aggressive in trying. Hit the seven myself and only because when the five is the one I have on top it is very difficult to find it, get it away from Ephron's hole enough so that Efraín can't shoot and to be able to hold the cue ball under the seven. So I like the shot, although I think I just hit this nine ball here trying to open up the four, it doesn't want to get too high, yeah, it's pretty good, maybe two in a row, we'll see. I'm throwing this between those balls, yeah.

Well, that will lengthen our game of cases here in this match, sure if he had gotten that ball out cleanly, he could have gotten that one and dropped another one, opened the balls and got out, but now he has to be very careful I think. killed a real kick under the one that wasn't, we worry a lot unless this 14 has it where he can't reach the side rail, okay he'll have a three row kick behind the one that drops him that way and that's a good safe play. I thought that's what I was looking at anyway, the single row kick in one, although it seems very difficult to scratch, but this is also quite safe, so it will hit a little before the side, it will spend this with a lot of left.

English caught the fourth rail on the right long rail just before the 1 and fell under it really playing safe and I think that's actually the right shot, especially if it's going to be a tournament type tournament format, he gave a good kick. on the nine here it's really hard for me to get past this one because of the way the stack is putting the worm at the bottom of the 1212 at ten they go towards the hole that way really the cue ball goes straight to the thirteen and the five and I think that's the 15 ball that's also there and you have to judge kick and hit the nine that you can hit, you know, anywhere in the top half, anywhere that goes up on the nine really sends the cue ball into the pile. in which it can be. nice and aggressive he really put a lot of emphasis on it from there and the kick on the nine here was definitely the shot in my opinion oh he tried though he was.

Wow, I didn't see that, I didn't see that, now you have a touch, it was two, one, can you reach it, will you reach it further, bridge, but this will require a firm hand on those balls, at least it has a little angle, maybe can go straight to nine and not worry about selling out, it's no big deal. a cut there could almost go past nine, but he'll go ahead and play until nine. I don't blame him with the bridge. I hit him sweet he hit his sweet so Mike medley now in the case game and a little chip shot where he has a cross corner Bank on the nine if you don't want to take the ball out to shape it but you'd think he'd pulled the ball out to shape it here stay off the rail with the cue ball It could come all the way to the center of the table here I was just looking at that shot that if he goes in he lets the shot out.

I think the six goes, the 13 goes, the 11 certainly goes, but it's got enough angle here to go right between it. I jammed it, that's going to hurt, so Mike took the lead for a moment here in game number five, it's two to two and a run to three, well, I carried that ball and he also has a shot on 6 and by be up, this is one you should still do, you are very close to achieving it, well now for two or three. Efraín, that's going to hit four. Okay, with just that, he'll get pretty straight on the four, even the angle will move away from where he needs to position himself on that one. thirteen balls in the middle of the table maybe the eleven so you can play that line instead of trying to stand behind the two and kick them maybe where you are aiming there are many options here you could shoot all four and fall towards the bank Me I missed it and he opened up those balls on the side rail, so Mike Medley now only needs five in a great position here with a bit of a fine, sliced ​​shot on 11, when I keep running too far towards him, he's going to have to. take a long shot on the three or a long shot on the parado other things if I wanted to, but I'm sure this shot is moving the 12 all the way to position, it's changed levels now that I hit it. a little thick, probably as much as it did, the ball grips a little more when you're close to the ball, it doesn't have a lot of room to spin, the cue ball likes to spin, you know, it really gains some revs and so, acts like In my opinion a bit of a major slip if I'm trying to clear his head after a big mistake, they really have a stranglehold on this game of cases and now he's in a battle.

I hit him so well that he'll get a long As for that, he won't pass up the cue ball draw. The back thing here is that he won't make the cue ball go back quickly, like a slow draw. In my own way, I'm going to be really precise with the four ball. Okay, Mike has decisions. I don't love all four at all, alright, maybe it will stack up. I thought the twelve had it covered up tightly. If he comes out, it's hard to let it go. Sorry, I thought the twelve were in the way. Now there are two ways to play this: you play the twelve against the four trying to get more on your side or you run into this by slightly leaning the twelve towards the thirteen so it doesn't want to do it, although I mean it doesn't. the worst in the world, but hey, the four is not very profitable here for Efraín, so I could shoot through the 14 here I have fourteen, suicide on two rails, he will return with the buckyball, it is very good speed with the q-ball , everyone has to cut this ball.

Back, this is dangerous here I think I could level myself here I don't know, this is difficult, it's just delicate, it's going to rise, you have to be very careful not to give up a shot here, okay, he did very well in terms of trying to hold the ball. that side rail is okay, shoot, that looks like a bench combination. I don't think he goes clean, yeah, it's just hard to shoot, I mean, especially because I felt like the balls were sitting pretty well for Mike. Mike is a very good banker and he moves very well in general and I just don't think he does.

I think he has a good fighting chance with how the balls would land, but this is a touchy subject here, like he has a pop and he relies on the awesome key ball while you're. Still hitting with a bit of speed, you can't really hit him lightly and control as much as you want, you just have to trust that he hits the bench a little firmer on the floor. I think this is a good move when trying to remove both screws. I'm going to play a light again, so we'll see if Mike decides to play that Bank combination, but now the 12 has gotten to where Bank did and that's why if I was ever that close to it, I would have banked it on all four trying to get the cue ball in a decently safe position and putting the ball on my side, okay you cut it too short again, the cue ball actually ran at him there so Aaron has a banker on the 4 if he wants to try and win . the match with it you could slide the cue ball up is close enough to it you can play it with a lighter speed to have all four floating over the pocket if you miss it looks short and you didn't pass it over the pocket and you can It has surrendered, definitely surrendered, a 13 that is thrown long, real, maybe a 12 that crosses the corner, it's that easy to get out of the kiss here with a high ball.

I hit the perforated robe very well. I think he's just going to take this down. four balls, I don't think I'll play it into this pocket, maybe so, I like it better, my ball went a long way, it almost went into that top corner, it wouldn't have been a good thing for Mike, okay, this is going to give up a bank cross corner long and real, excuse me, and it's pretty good. I think it may have gotten a little funny, but I think I can handle it here with a little twist. I'm going to turn towards him with a little left.

He follows it with his right, yes. You went with the left watch in the side pocket, yes, and he had to fake the kiss there every time you do it, it seems like the white balls don't always go straight into the pocket, but either way, that way or that way. top corner, two rails. Coming out in another corner, okay, looks like everyone is going to pull this bone. Surprising, I thought he would get the cue ball a little closer and go one row behind the 13 with the cue ball, maybe he's still doing that with a high ball, no. he's drawing it or stunning it, maybe yes, so he's gotten to where he needs one.

He has two brothers here who want to shoot him, probably not, but he can do something with the key ball for sure. I believe it, yes. It looked like it was playable, he doesn't want that to go to the side, so now Mike has his hands full. I'm trying to get three balls before Efraín gets one. Think about that situation. Now all four are out of the game, but many. A lot of times every time you develop the first shot you're playing some kind of form for the second ball so you're not as much of a loser as people think okay now that the ball is coming to the spot we'll see what happens there and Well.

Mike ran the cue ball past that point or it could be straight to the four ball, Ephram would win the match, so you're going for a rail, this with a lot of inside English, it's a little steep, he could run away. You, Ephram, don't like to pass up shots that can be taken in this position. Oh, he played three and managed to escape the ball. Wow, and this is one that you know you can sniff, but when it comes down to it, you know the precise timing to even the plate and you have to come in with this one a little bit harder and it looks like Mike is going to play, let's say, oh, he tried to harden it, he will get a kiss here with the white ball, he was going to give up a bank anyway and this can stiff when taking out the kiss harden it or he can cross it with a small high ball maybe a little high to the left it's up to him I like the high ball myself I seem to at least hang the ball most of the time and always Ray, ladies and gentlemen, wins in round number one, three, two, two, over Mike Medley and a great match for Mike, and I'm sure both boys will be keen to continue playing in a pocket and improve for the Rail Birds.

TV I'm Jeremy Jones and thank you for tuning in from the good night of Derby City Classic 2020.
