2011 US Open Onepocket - Efren Reyes-Brian Butler (Part 1)

[@DUK703]

Greatest commentary of all time

[@joelslot]

Excellent commentary. No fortunetelling. I hate it when commentators tell us what shot the player is going to shoot, are wrong several times in a row and keep doing it anyway. None of that here!

[@geraldromanow4576]

BLUES WORLD Really? You think the commentary is excellent? I think it stinks. I agree that less can sometimes be more, but too little is worse than too much. And how about something like: “For you folks who aren’t too familiar with the game of one-pocket, this is how it works...”. The yawning while he’s talking is great, though.

[@lindastevens3547]

Justin, superb commentary. A joy to listen to.

[@johnmorris5397]

The lower rail is the bottom rail. One of the commentators called it the top rail.I've played and loved this game for 50+ years.

[@chieng7004]

What was the referee says to efren about his shirt?

[@ToGetToTerrapin]

if straight pool is checkers, then 1 pocket is chess... man's game.

[@austinsmith281]

Jezz let him wear his shirt how everything he wants

[@ontheroadroe]

Great match, as both end up, so caught up in their games of tregidy's at ( 42:58) that they both fluttered their very simple one rail back banks back to back? Showing that this one pocket game is played probably the most out of all billiards games within the mind. My thoughts anyway here?

[@paulsmc7041]

For all camera operators and producers: switching cameras in the middle of a shot is a _horrible_ idea! Always be on the main camera before the ball is struck. It's very hard to follow a shot when the camera angle changes in the middle of it. Otherwise, great video. Thanks.

[@stevegiroux6664]

Hey what kind of game are they playing forever chasing that one ball

[@TheAvenstar]

Reading the comments I am surprised people find this boring. By that that token chess matches are boring too. This is a brain game -- that involves an ultra high level of skill. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't get any better than this.

[@marshalrodriguez4647]

Watch how the referee took the cue ball and the black marker (for cleaning) 37:10.

[@rogeremslie]

Notice the cue ball marker's move when the ref cleaned the ball. He's done the same moves in other matches. Guy should be on a SNL segment.

[@jvasquezito]

So who won?

[@lpdb7005]

watching them fight for that one ball was entertaining and informative. good stuff

[@RudyB-ti8ye]

Efren Reyes the most humble and gracious of all sports legends.

[@rebe12354]

whew god dam. think i found the best video in the world to go to sleep too. I just played my first game of 1pocket yesterday lol. But yes, I can see by studying this vid you would become better, and def. get theory. But god dam, I passed out

[@7kerlyn]

Sad, it did not happen to me. I enjoyed it.

[@rbcauz]

Good match

[@tonymart5190]

Move your cursor off the screen guy

[@thebilliardhead5013]

You're welcome

[@fishblade2]

hey action report can you guys next time have the match volume higher? I love to just hear the balls hit.

[@snoopolion]

Great Carpet !!Is that Versace??;O

[@danielpincus221]

It looks like Butler fouled on the lag. He shot after Efren's ball hit the foot rail.

[@martinfontana4667]

Jogo muito embassado

[@marshalrodriguez4647]

game decider 40:14.

[@villamorballon9261]

I have not seen not one comment on when the referee was trying to wipe or clean the ball. Looks like the marker was moved several times and the last one very obvious and surprisingly the commentator just chuckled and didn't say anything? And also the camera man tried his best not to show the whole scenario. At first the camera man was showing when the referee was starting to put the marker, when he noticed how the referee moved the marker, the camera man went behind the referee so that the viewer would not see the whole scenario....hmmmmmmmmm.

[@tamerchehade]

tht mouse in the middle of the screen is annoying

[@johnwalding9457]

I noticed that Brian only made one decent two rail kick. Efren left him alot of free two rail kicks

[@jadezee6316]

reyes,,,clearly off this game...that last ball..usually a piece of cake...he misses by inches 3 times

[@Evangelander]

Yes. and much of the game it is blocking the near right corner pocket. Dang! Good shootin' for Efren, though>

[@rjhop]

great game

[@sanjursan]

Ok, at 39:50 I'm thinkin, why doesnt Brian put the one back in play, since he needs two. And his shot ends up doing just that!

[@joshuasuggs2379]

The cursor in the bottom right pocket almost makes this unwatchable for me

[@mu99ins]

Oh man, I missed it. I had to go back after reading your comment to see the cursor. I could have been annoyed, too, but I missed my opportunity. I'm never going to let than happen again. Nobody likes to complain more than me. I have some really sour attitude complaints, esp. for the Filipino games.

[@johnholmstrom4212]

Efren Reyes vs Stone Cold Steve Austin

[@exogendesign4582]

One pocket means you need to pocket a ball in the pocket you want, and when you choose that pocket all ball must go to that pocket. That why they play safety in the last minute and chase that one yellow ball, whoever got the highest point when the ball is cleared youre declared as winner.

[@sanjursan]

... Of course it costs him the game however.

[@mitchervin522]

I'll stay with masters chalk

[@dogatsiglat5698]

the bald can't take a risk even an easy shot

[@moktaralsrory3940]

الصراحه لعاب

[@josealejandrotorrejon6586]

After 10 min I understand the dislikes. Ugly game is this

[@supertopher557]

Pinakawalang kwentang laro ng billiard yang one pocket n yan

[@rodivargas7395]

Dko maintindihan larong ganyan.. boring tingnan at nkaka bobo ng player.

[@noyzki3771]

Bobo nio

[@justsomeguy6474]

This has to be the stupidest game invented.

[@Trevoh357]

The most BORING and difficult to understand game. I dislike it as well.

[@richardknight6614]

Borrrrrrrrrring!

[@poolchamp8]

I don't know how people watch this game. I appreciate the skill in it, but it is soooooo boring.

[@lindastevens3547]

You need to start playing it. I was bored like you and had no interest, until I started playing one-pocket.

[@_the_concestor_8185]

Probably because one-pocket is the thinking man’s discipline.

[@villamorballon9261]

This is the reason why only the elite pool players play this game,,,,, a game of skill, patience tactics, and angles you have to be skillful in all aspect of the game to be able to be successful .
