2015 US Open 8-Ball: Dennis Orcollo vs Mike Dechaine (Final)

[@JayBates]

For everyone complaining about racking or shooting delays in pool videos remember that if you're watching this on a computer you can press J to skip 10 seconds back and L to skip 10 seconds forward. K pauses. After clicking on the video twice to pause and then resume you activate the arrow keys for 5 second skips. If viewing on a mobile device you can double tap the left and right side of the screen to skip forward and backwards 10 seconds. Get used to doing this and you can be much more efficient with your time and consume a lot more content.

[@JonesyNorthmen]

Hey Jay! You are one of my favorite youtubers! I love your content. I didn't know you were a fan of pool also.

[@2869may]

Mike workin that gum like he's Nick Varner.... lol

[@lstone234]

I love Jay and Bobbies stories. Keep it coming guys. Would love to meet these guys in person. My wife and I and my son and his wife went to the 8&10 ball championships this year 2018 at Griffs here in Las Vegas. I was hoping they were the commentators but they weren't. But I did get Shane Van Boening to sign my cue case. That was cool. Shane is a very nice guy. Also got Oscar Dominguez's auto graph. Met Shane McMinn and Josh Roberts.. Great day. I will go every year from now on. I am a pool junkie for sure.

[@cdevenney84]

"Music's gone so sideways in the past 20 years... with all the rap music and heavy metal. I just don't care for that stuff..." These commentators sound like they're 150 years old.

[@l337pwnage]

They are actually referring to Elvis. ;p

[@jessetrujillo8969]

but they are sort of right even rap now compared to ten fifteen years ago sux

[@intothepark]

orcullo is a pattern racking cheat, I would too. he's terrible for our sport. I wouldn't even shake his hand

[@InherentlyWise]

Since the ref is there the entire match, why doesn't he rack the balls? (at least in the championship match)...

[@estebanstrangiato]

the rule for this event (BCAPL) is rack your own. Mike pulled some shenanigans by asking the ref to watch Dennis rack. Dennis's frustration almost cost him the match until he sassed it up to the ref.

[@Kentucky_Blue]

InherentlyWise Especially since Dennis is trying to tilt the rack so hard

[@eddietucker3334]

I grew up in Palm Springs, CA, in the sixties and there were two big poolrooms. Serious players always available to hustle and be hustled by!

[@AlrightThen15]

Piss poor handshake. Win or lose give your opponent a firm handshake, look him in the eye and say good match. Yes it matters.

[@intothepark]

I agree, but not Dennis. This pattern racking cheat gets zero respect from me. Plus he's awful to watch but that's on him if he wants no fans. he cares about one thing, money... and bending the rules in a grimey way to get that money at any cost. bad for pool, refuse to watch his matches

Haven't watched this match yet, but if you're referring to Dennis he always gives a version of a soft high five, open handed congratulatory shake.

[@will3xv]

EggrollsGaming Listen to the announcers. They talk about it. He rotated the rack counterclockwise a bit so that the second ball in the rack was more visible to hit, and the corner ball in the rack is more likely to fall. The ref made him reorient the rack several times, but it still didn't seem centered.

[@JumpinJay93]

i love bobbys commentary lol

"He didn't even flirt with the pocket there..." 😂😂😂

[@l337pwnage]

I like how they rip on the guy for the way he chalks. I got flack for doing the exact same thing, lol. Most people chalk like they're drilling for oil. I layered it like that which actually lets you use the whole cube and gives you a good coat without grinding the tip down faster. Which was he second reason I would get flak, my chalk would wear into a thin layer and eventually break into four pieces, which I'd still use, lol. So, for 1/2 the cubes life I'd have this tiny slab of chalk I was using which everybody would notice.

[@intothepark]

they're mad that they're old as shit and not out there playing themselves, that Bobby guy is a worse commentator than 90yo argumentative fuck larry Ross

[@beefonweckeastside3323]

I heard someone say to the people that drill down and make a hole in the center of the chalk that they're not chalking the cue they're cueing the chalk

[@plzitzjustmahcheezits909]

l337pwnage See what you’re doing is the appropriate way of chalking. What Dechaine is doing is an attempt at that, yet still drilling for oil and looking like an idiot. His hand looks fuckin dumb when he’s chalking

[@AntonBeaty]

Mike Dechaine saw this and was one of the guys to give it a THUMBS DOWN

[@intothepark]

orcullo is a pattern racking cheat, if you rooted for him you know nothing about pool

[@neuvocastezero1838]

Could someone please explain the percentage below the Fargo rating? Thanks.

[@YayComity]

..7 years later :) It's the chances that they will win the match based on the score and the Fargo rating. 50% means both chances have an equal chance. The higher Fargo rating is the better player so an even score favors that player winning. And for those not familiar with the Fargo rating system, a player with 100 point higher rating is twice as likely to win any one game on average. It's based on lots of games averaged over time and adjusted mathematically so the percentage is fairly accurate. Of course it doesn't account for who is doing better at the time, nerves, distractions, and all the other factors.

[@neuvocastezero1838]

[@mikethebeginner]

Ray FitzGerald said baseball was "four minutes of action crammed into two-and-one-half hours." Pool is getting to be the same. I just don't have enough free time to watch Dennis Orcollo stand around and think for as long as does. And by the way, how come all pool announcers can pronounce "Orcollo" as Arcoolio," but not one of them knows or remembers that the "H" is silent in the German name "Thorsten"?

[@lstone234]

I agree there is no I in the guys name. Fucking morons.

[@blackbeltepic7032]

Losing is tough. Pretty sure Mike dropped that trophy in trash on his way out. Hang In There mike.

[@keeperofthetrees8903]

Am I right thinking this a 7 foot table?

[@FigaroandSalem]

yes, I think they are 7 foot bar box tables for the 8 ball

[@justinli2727]

+Keeper of the Trees I don't think so... The balls are much more compact on a 7-foot. This looks like a 8 or 9 foot.

[@leoandsan]

+Justin Li it is indeed a 7 footer

[@justinli2727]

leoandsan huh. Doesnt look like one. I usually play on a 8 or 9 so im not too used to what a 7 footer looks like

[@leoandsan]

+Justin Li may not look like one but it is 😊

[@mescellaneous]

unfortunate that there are so many nuances to this game that the refs and whoever's in charge aren't keen enough to enforce strict rules. commentators or whoever spots these things should notify directors of these things.. easy fix could have been ref is in charge if magic rack is misalign and gets to approve the final rack after player racks.

[@maxmcarthur6403]

Anyone know what cue mike is playing with?

[@wvwIceMan13wvw]

OB...they're one of his sponsors...I use their OB 1+ shaft on my Meucci original and the OB 2+ on my McDermott. He has a black ferrule on whatever shaft he's using, he's probably using the plus pro shaft

[@TheGta4you]

what the % tell ?

[@CyberPun]

What size is that table ? Seems to small.

[@AngrierGorilla]

7 ft

[@josephchance2262]

What do the percentages under the player names refer to?

[@Gormley112]

It's the Fargo rating system that takes in to account their record of playing on a bar table and makes a percentage that changes rack to rack so Dennis was favored like 3-1 at the start of the match before a ball was hit but if you notice not until mike went 3 up did he become more then 50-50 on the winning

[@estebanstrangiato]

+Gormley112 does Fargo take into account the table size? I thought it was just based overall potting percentage combined with win/loss?

[@arnairbalkhobar2929]

Isn't that table smaller than the standard?

[@danielortega3647]

[@edhartgrove7552]

Most surprising moment? When the commentator, telling one of his stories, said "Asshole". While it doesn't bother me, this was the U.S. Open. It isn't some rinky-dink bar match that's being broadcast to the surrounding county. I'll bet he caught some flak over it.

[@janetairlines1351]

[@jeankloot1]

Is this a 9 foot table? Looks so small

[@AngrierGorilla]

7 ft table, or bar box table. In USA there are lots of tournaments on these tables.

[@paulvisage3118]

[@TGSA100]

table looks like small not regular?

[@intothepark]

7 foot, regulation size is 9, they use small tables to try to cluster balls more, then use magic racks so the basis fly in the holes. why? because they're morons. why aren't the pockets smaller on this already tiny table? because the tournament director enjoys terrible pool and watching the better player lose half the time. pockets need to be 4 inch MAX. NOT THE SAME DAMN SIZE AS A 9 FOOT. IT'S NO WONDER POOL IS STILL DEAD YOU BLITHERING IDIOTS

nope nevermind. still chalks like dechaine lol

[@leoandsan]

I can't believe Dennis is getting away with pattern racking and shifting the direction of the rack to make the corner ball. he's a great shot but that's cheating in my eyes

[@estebanstrangiato]

pattern racking is a hard call to make in 8 ball. the rules for racking only designate the two balls behind the 8 and the 2 corner balls. because the sets are basically interchangeable you'd have to be putting every ball in the same position each time to have it called on you.

[@estebanstrangiato]

+Stephen Lamb also you don't need to shift the rack to make the corner ball each time. that's why he's breaking so soft.
