LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the banter in the booth, so much fun creative aggression being discussed. The game of One Pocket has progressively became more aggressive since 2011 thanks to Corey and Scott's mentality and influence on the game.
I`m a snooker player and i sometimes play 9-ball or 14.1, so i also know a bit about playing pool, but it would take me ages to figure out the shots and tactics for this game. Very interesting to watch! Thx for uploading.
Thank you TheActionReport for posting this video. Give Efren an opening and you're done. He's a predator for sure. Lots of ideas in the commentary. But they should've also had a little more commentary on Efren's options, just to compare how they think and how Efren thinks.
The game is missing a great money making opportunity... having three great analyses that are entertaining to listen to, two excellent one pocket players matching up and accurate up to the second score keeping for the spectator is how your improve this games popularity.... in my opinion
Billy Incardona is a top expert on one pocket. To listen to him talk strategy is a real education. If you are a serious one pocket player you will recognize it. If you do not comprehend his logic or you are not an A player then I understand that you are bored. "It takes two to speak the truth. One to speak it and another to recognize it as truth"!
Yes Billy is one of the Classic Best at what he does. Your Insight is great. If you played the game long enough, it's easy to catch on what the commentators think or what are the plans of the players. Great Insight
it does not take 2 to speak truth and that doesnt even make sense whe n you claim the other one is only listening....jeez.....but for the rest......speaking truth..does not have to be recognized to be truth...how many people you heard say.."if i only knew then what i know now?"
they're just jokin around... corey doesn't always catch up with billy and frost but that's how some people with extraordinary intelligence works, in my eyes corey is almost the john f. nash of pool, very very smart player. i bet that if he went wholeheartedly for one pocket he would soon be one of the top 5 players, with his creativity and all. i like these commentators but put rodney morris there instead of frost and it'll be a real laugh, that guy's very funny
Gentile seemed way too passive/conservative in the first game. If you're playing Efren Reyes and you get a decent shot, you'd better take it. You can't just keep trying to duck him forever, because he's better at moving than you are.
it's the finals . if you were there for 6 days you'd be punch drunk too. funny commentary, all of the guys have a lot of gambling history with each other.
Can someone explain the shot at 41:26. If I were shooting that spot shot I would bank it into or near my pocket but I've seen this come up several times, in videos of people that actually play well, where the player just banks it up table to their side.
If you don't know what to do chess you do not move a pawn. At the very least, you move a piece that can move back to its original square. There called waiting moves.
These days there are more cameras and multiple angles on the better live streams. And Frost would lose 7days a week and twice on Sunday to Efren in Reyes' prime in one pocket or any cue sport Scott would like to play. The fact that all 3 commentators are trying to peer into the mind of a genius is amusing quite frankly... Deuel is a witch in his own right, very creative.
There is an old, but still pettinent, rule in commentating: tell the viewer/fan something that he can't see with his own eyes. For example, when the match starts, I can see that the cue ball is between the two ball and the six ball. Tell me something else.
If the score were reversed, Reyes may have chosen your shot, but being up 7-4, there's no need to shoot at your hole, which the only good result would be to make it.. Missing it leaves it in play for your opponent to make, and shooting the offensive shot can lead to letting the cue ball go, which is never good.. One pocket isn't just a collection of shots.. It's decision making, and understanding how and when to apply pressure.. Understanding when to back off is important, as well..
Scott says "I understand", "yes", "you're right" about fifty times because he knows that, otherwise, Billy's ego will explode again. It doesn't matter how smart Billy is, his ego makes him an awful commentator.
He can't see it !! Yes he can !! No he can't !! Yes he can !! Pretty sure he can't !! Pretty sure he can !! Yes he can !! Yes maybe he can !!! Told you he could !! Really I need some Tylenol :(
@socaliguyhb yes almost like an old tom cat he wont chase you much, just lay and wait for you to get tired of running around and then make his move. he waited for cory to seal his fate but yet let him taste what he thought to be victory for just a rack. lol that is the ULTIMATE predator
One of these talking heads says: I don't agree with what Efren's doin' here. That's like a grade schooler saying: I don't agree with what this Rhodes scholar is doing here.
I like all three of these guys but there is a reason Corey is a much more decorated player. Scott and Billy need to get their money up and get up there and play Corey for the cash and then they will see just how "realistic" some of his shots are. Don't think for one second that Corey can't play one pocket!!
I disagree, one pocket is simple mathematics.. Or, if it is, it's much deeper than that.. You'd never win a single game if you waited around for 4:1 the best of it, before you shoot at your hole.. Sure, it's about odds, but it's about implied odds, too.. Sometimes you shoot at your hole cause it's free, sometimes cause you can run out behind it, if you make it, and sometimes you're flat out forced to shoot at your hole..
Keep it to two commentators in the booth. With three, it gets chaotic, egoistic (No Corey it doesn't go, no Corey he doesn't see it.) I hate these pro who thinks that their way of seeing shots is the only way.
I like Scott frost hes a great player but always always a negative commentator. He complains what happened to him and always says what right or wrong instead of positive comments
Scott Frost is such an arrogant dude, maybe Corey was just very eager to learn more about One Pocket, but regardless Frost's comments are utterly disrespectful.
Corey was making some jokes about shots as a form of self-deprecation. He's a funny guy. I earnestly think this is one of the most insightful and funny matches ever. It's EXCELLENT. No one said ANYTHING arrogant or egotistical. They're talking about their level of confidences...which is to say, how they map their model of reality in to decision theory.
This style of commentary with 3 talking about all shot options is best I have ever heard. More like this please!
Funniest commentary ever captured on tape. These guys are great!
This commentary is actually hilarious. They banter about shot selection and then each other 😭😭

Watch Efren and learn

@11:30 Ken Lee--a Chicago Legend, love that guy
I'm playin checkers. You're all playin Chess. (efrin the goat)
Great game, but it bothers me so many camera angles in the middle of a shot.
Corey Deuel is a hilarious commentator!
they're just jokin around... corey doesn't always catch up with billy and frost but that's how some people with extraordinary intelligence works, in my eyes corey is almost the john f. nash of pool, very very smart player. i bet that if he went wholeheartedly for one pocket he would soon be one of the top 5 players, with his creativity and all.

are they playing the soundtrack to Goodfellas in the background???
Gentile seemed way too passive/conservative in the first game. If you're playing Efren Reyes and you get a decent shot, you'd better take it. You can't just keep trying to duck him forever, because he's better at moving than you are.
how to play this game??
thx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
JESUS GOD! And I thought the NASCAR announcers over-talked the event...
camera angles are annoying
The commentary made this match very unpleasant
it's the finals . if you were there for 6 days you'd be punch drunk too. funny commentary, all of the guys have a lot of gambling history with each other.
What do you mean by a wedge?
Can someone explain the shot at 41:26. If I were shooting that spot shot I would bank it into or near my pocket but I've seen this come up several times, in videos of people that actually play well, where the player just banks it up table to their side.
Incardona, the biggest reason for a volume off button/switch
i usually can't stand Incardona's commentary (well, really, his huge ego) but this group of three commentators works really well.
3 brilliant players discussing shot by shot. They are egotistic. So what? Learn.
No, I want all my carbon fiber cake and stroke it for me too.
I'm a railbird! Weeee! I'm know everting.
The 3 commentators are talking their own stories which is irritating
...good ole fashioned inane commentary -- they never seem to get tired of being wrong.
Wedge vs tiers, which one is more gooder?
What's a wedge?
@@rupertwh : balls bunched up at far end one side or the other.
I watched
I'd like to be a little closer to the table.. seems a bit far away.
Oh, The envy for Efren is ridiculous... Lol
20:00 they start talking about wedgies.
Billy wouldn't have gone up-table with that shot.
If you don't know what to do chess you do not move a pawn. At the very least, you move a piece that can move back to its original square. There called waiting moves.
lobsterfork i believe you meant, "They're called waiting moves."
One of these commentators was pretty bad, kinda ruining this match for me
These days there are more cameras and multiple angles on the better live streams. And Frost would lose 7days a week and twice on Sunday to Efren in Reyes' prime in one pocket or any cue sport Scott would like to play. The fact that all 3 commentators are trying to peer into the mind of a genius is amusing quite frankly... Deuel is a witch in his own right, very creative.
Efren loves the Gentiles too
There is an old, but still pettinent, rule in commentating: tell the viewer/fan something that he can't see with his own eyes. For example, when the match starts, I can see that the cue ball is between the two ball and the six ball. Tell me something else.

@FleshFlake Sorry, I mean 41:15.
I know, I was just making fun of Corey :)
i want the guys shirt in the background at 29:26 - 29:29 lol! YAMAN
Scott says "I understand", "yes", "you're right" about fifty times because he knows that, otherwise, Billy's ego will explode again. It doesn't matter how smart Billy is, his ego makes him an awful commentator.
@FleshFlake because if you bank it to your pocket and miss, your opponent will have a bank to his pocket
He can't see it !! Yes he can !! No he can't !! Yes he can !! Pretty sure he can't !! Pretty sure he can !! Yes he can !! Yes maybe he can !!! Told you he could !! Really I need some Tylenol :(
too many announcers
oooooo ok. lol i like Coreys term better anyway. just a clutter
a wedge in one pocket is when the balls on the table end up downtable and all in one corner...they're "wedged" in there
a zig zag is what you roll ur stuff with lol
1:08... Wow, He sold out. oh wow he made it !!!
@socaliguyhb yes almost like an old tom cat he wont chase you much, just lay and wait for you to get tired of running around and then make his move. he waited for cory to seal his fate but yet let him taste what he thought to be victory for just a rack. lol that is the ULTIMATE predator
Can you hit any ball you want in one pocket?
+lobsterfork yes . !
One of these talking heads says: I don't agree with what Efren's doin' here. That's like a grade schooler saying: I don't agree with what this Rhodes scholar is doing here.
you can learn from anyone bro...a simple lesson you dont seem to have the capacity to understand....
These fucking commentators are the worst. it would be an excellent use of surgery to remove their vocal cords.
I like all three of these guys but there is a reason Corey is a much more decorated player. Scott and Billy need to get their money up and get up there and play Corey for the cash and then they will see just how "realistic" some of his shots are.

that old aphorism about 2's company, 3's a crowd rings so true here !!
Billy is lost in the old days!
My buddy beat gentile at redshoes billiards for like 1100 in one pocket. You dont see alot of these players anymore due to poker
It’s crazy to hear these commentators.... Criticize the World Best Player....
Can someone please explain this game to me. I only know 9 ball and 8 ball lol
Each player has his own pocket (only bottom left or right). Player who pockets eight balls in his pocket, wins.
23:33 they all guess it wrong then he says that's a curry duel shot. GTFO.... it was a magician shot. The commentary is atrocious
this Billy guy needs to shut up.. I had to turn off the volume
I like Scott frost hes a great player but always always a negative commentator. He complains what happened to him and always says what right or wrong instead of positive comments
Scott Frost is such an arrogant dude, maybe Corey was just very eager to learn more about One Pocket, but regardless Frost's comments are utterly disrespectful.

No one said ANYTHING arrogant or egotistical. They're talking about their level of confidences...which is to say, how they map their model of reality in to decision theory.
I agree. He seems pretty cool.
Corey's been around a while...Some of his comments seem almost disingenuously naive..almost like he's having Scott on...
I think Corey and Scott smoked a fatty before calling this match
Scott's incessant need to constantly be right made this commentary unbearable.
Yeah, surely his need doesn't coincide with reality or anything.
Commentary is so biased!
It’s funny these commentators talk as if they have beat Efren many times........ Nope !!!
boring game
