WINNING HOW TO
A true winner will find a way to win. A true loser, will find a way to lose. Some losers have a lot of talent and play great. They just never get to the top. They become ham and eggers and in time accept their place in life being in the middle of the pack. Some even like being out of the spot light and under the radar.
A really good study of this is in one of the tapes on our contest list:
1995 Roanoke player review Buddy Hall vs Steve Deborolski who played fine but lost 4-5 to Hall after having him 3-0. His commentary ruined the tape; it was like listening to Rocky describe one of his fights. Dumb and Dumber again. Rate 7.0.
In a race to 5 when you have anyone stuck 3-0, a winner puts him away. Yes a champion like Hall will fight and make a comeback but this guy did not shut the door on him. What made Sigel such a killer is if he got up from the start 2-0, the match ended with him 2 ahead? He never let you catch up.
The other study is he got on the hill and did not put Hall away letting the match go hill hill. Hall makes a mistake and he can now run out to win. He is faced with something like the spot shot behind the line, not a really tough shot, but if he misses, he goes into the stack and Hall wins for sure. When he faced winning the guy locked up. He went down on the shot, pulled up, sweated, which was a sure sign he had set up the choke. Rather than shoot the spot shot in and win never thinking of missing and selling out, which was all that was on this guys mind, he took an extremely tough cut he knew he would not make just to bail out and play safe. And he lost because of this.
Earl, Efren, Rempe, Sigel, would have all walked up and fired that spot shot in and won. They would have spent no time over it either. All they would have seen was an easy shot to win. All Steve could see was a shot to lose on. And this is what defeats guys like him. They defeat their own selves. Their worst enemy, is their own mind and their negative thinking.
I would never play safe like he did no matter what shot I had to win on if it was reasonable. I will always shoot to win. I will never turn loose of the table because you can’t win sitting in the chair. You always take the shot and try to win. You have to be bold to be a winner. Fortune favors the brave. If I go down firing I can live with that. If I go down ducking because I did not have the guts to pull the trigger on a shot to win, that I cannot live with.
There is a lot to be learned watching this guy lose. He also plays way too fast, plant, one stroke fire. He missed several shots because of this careless lack of fine attention and planning. He can play and go 8 and out, don’t get me wrong, but this guy needs some serious coaching on his game and in his head.
