Yeah talk about earning it!

well said, man

His a Hong Kong pride..

He is Hong Kong proud. Not fillipino. Stop.

@@toziassmitt he's full blooded filipino. He practices a lot in the Philippines. He represents HK. Both can be true.

@@t_t8661 you are incorrect. You are wrong. He is Hong Kong proud

@@toziassmitt speak proper english first then we talk.

Wdym? They aren’t alt break so how are you complaining? It’s just the game is so hard now for even the best which is how it should be.

Particularly with breaks every 3 racks that cut your rythm to 0

​@@9BallBory I don't agree. The tightness has changed the percentages: players avoiding the long shots, power strokes and spin shots that make the game attractive and choosing more safety instead, slower racks, skillful players made to look average and clearly getting stressed by it. It's intense but kind of miserable and this has been the least entertaining wnt major so far. So many empty seats in the final too. We don't want buckets but they're getting it wrong and pros starting to call them out on it now.

​​@@JC-md7lg They're still experimenting what pocket size is best for the tournaments. Yes, we all know 4" pockets has worked well for the last 2 years but some 'fans' complained that the diamond table pockets are 'way bigger' than rasson table's. Therefore matchroom are trying out the 3.8" pockets but I doubt they'll use these 3.8" pockets any longer and will return to 4" pockets. Also, don't ask me why some people say the pockets on the diamond table are bigger. Idk why too and I strongly disagree. I think the pockets on rasson table play bigger and they're the ones that should try out the 3.8" pockets.

​@anferneeleung694 Yes I think some fan boys think that constantly demanding tighter and tighter pockets makes then some kind of expert but it actually shows they don't understand the game. In 9 ball, unlike 8 ball, there's no jeopardy in choosing safety, you can do it anytime and will if the percentages for an attacking game have been made too poor. So you just end up with a really boring game: snooker without the depth of break building. Also, having players able to run a few racks in a row adds to the excitement. You can be on the hill, a few games ahead and still in danger if the opponent has the break. There's a great accustats match where Ko runs the last 5 against SVB to do this, full of great shots of course. Not gonna happen on these 3.8 nightmares

For yall that don't know Robbie, he is a super humble and genuinely great guy.

Hong Kong blood 🩸

​@@bledzone231 He don't have Hong Kong blood . He is only live in Hong Kong. And represent hongkong . If you can't beat Filipino player . You can have our Filipino player to play to your country to get a chance win a throphy

True and the pockets are little smaller.

What's to like? Matchroom is poorly managed.

Pinoy can't win with grace and dignity like EFREN. You win and accept your award. Not like this disgraceful unsportsmanlike conduct jumping on top of a pool table then walking up and down the table shouting. That's so low rent and unprofessional.

yes they are 3.9 inches now.

You should join the Styers team, Jeez!

@@txtmodcarlo im genuinely asking questions unless youre guilty that it was a foul

@@mchammer8806 I asked you a genuinely question too. Did the ref called it a foul???

@@txtmodcarlo where did you asked that you asked that just now delusional kid 😂 Im sure the ball is still moving and the ref got carried away like you are now

It’s only a foul if you let go of your cue whilst measuring a shot. You can put whatever you like on the table as long as it doesn’t hit anything in live play.

Beef pares

Fred Gork is not the number one or number two player.

​@@PostUp_Timethat may be true. But the last major tournament it was Fedor and Filler at the Finals. So maybe that's why he thought of that

@@PostUp_Time Yes they are not coz those top two ranking players loss their respective matches. And Fedor and Filler are the ones left in the tourney and favored to win it even on betting sites and people who follow Pool and have half a brain would put Filler and Fedor to win it.

I stand corrected: What I really meant is that as of May 12, 2024, Fedor Gorst and Joshua Filler are the top two in the Money Leaderboard rankings, with recorded earnings of: (1) Fedor Gorst $126,513; (2) Joshua Filler $119,463; (3) Carlo Biado $105,550; (4) Van Boening $93,388; (5) Sanchez-Ruiz $55,377; (6) Corteza; (7) Oi; (8) Shaw; (9) Ouschan; (10) Capito....Capito is a full blooded Filipino born in Hongkong, and so he learned billiards and excelled there because he has practically lived his entire life in Hongkong, so he earned the right to represent Hongkong, not the Philippines.

Well all those players you named got beat by these two finalists lmao

​@@drewmartin6240This the results of an asshat not actually watching or following the tournament....lol

@@drewmartin6240lol yeah so true. OP doesn’t know what he’s talking about

@@shortydancerhis statement has merit. The finals have tons of added pressure that these guys aren’t used to. I’d put money on SVB or Filler in the finals against either of these guys, even on these overly small pockets.

Well that's true but the less pressure made Filler very complacent. Watched this tournament whole, he was overly confident and taking risks on his shots rather than his standard safety style of play.

Nah. The Pearl started the trend. And i’m all for it to stay.

@SaltyDingleberry3000 ‘Saltydingleberry3000’

it's a tradition

But when white people do it, it’s ok right?

I saw SVB jumping on the table too...

Pretty sure Fortunski means lucky or similar in Polish

I’m sure you could play better on those size pockets

Or the most narrow pockets;-) Haven't you noticed that?

@@mazz1288 No dude. Sit down.

G boy.. 😂
