Finder Darts Masters 7-9 Dec 2018, Egmond aan Zee

That sixth leg
Woeful.

[ssjsa]

Not convinced Vaes going for 25 on 63 with 3 darts in hand is a good option.

Ended up okay, but Mitchell should have won that 6th leg to go 4-2 up.

On a separate but linked note, Cant remember if it was on here or on Twitter that there was a debate on the best way to go for 65 with 3 darts in hand, but for a shit player like me, the advice to go T19 first has worked. Just wondering if it is as good an option for those of better quality to me.

[BlueSpark]

Well that was shit.

[ChrisW]

Cant see Hamilton winning a game

My Predictions for the Group winners are

A: Williams
B: Warren
C: Telnekes
D: Veenstra
E: Unterbuchner
F: Mitchell
G: Durrant
H: Mandigers

Clueless Oche strikes again

The 2 groups which have been fully played he got right so far. Warren and Durrant.

3rd group decided and correct again. Good going Oche!

No no no no he needs to get everything right he predicts!!!!!

5 on the spin now. What a run from Balboa

Each to their own, many ways to go for most finishes. The purists say otherwise and in some situations it's best to take a route that at least leaves you the bull with one dart in hand rather than a treble which if you miss leaves you nothing to hit to win the leg.
I have always gone for 57 for 65 rather than the 25. Personal choice.

steady games - i think the jet lag and schedule is hurtin the players - mabe they are trying stuff out for lakey- shaprneing there arrows - warren is a great player at the end of the day - keep a eye on him -

Strange how Robsons posts were mostly error free and now using a different account they have materialised again.
Have you nothing better to do Mark?

[markymark]

fek me. Just watching Mitchell's walk on.

Don't know what is worse, this or the invisible dog one.

[BlueSpark]

Tempted to take Mark off post approval.
Purely for entertainment value, obviously.

Always leave yourself a dart at a double, Only shot I usually ever start on the bull/25 is on 132

Absolutely. That 1hr 10 minute flight from Stansted to Schiphol is a bastard.

Well quite, I think that's what I alluded to in my post Dave.
Obviously you go your own odd way for 135 then.

It's a monster, I don't know how they cope with it. I mean I was fine with my 12 hour flight to Vegas, I just thank god I didn't take my weeks holiday in the Netherlands.

135 is one I very rarely leave and depends on the situation, If im forced to go for it then of course I will go 25/bull 1st dart but my preferred way of going 135 is 60-51-24

I think he meant sealag not jetlag. The ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam takes around 12 hours.

[BlueSpark]

But you do leave it as you said, if not by design then due to other reasons. If your opponent is on a finish, surely anything other than the bull/25 first dart is foolish. Why throw a dart knowing a single leaves you no outshot?
Very odd.

If you read again what I wrote...Then I wouldn't...If going to the board on 135 and my opponent was not on a finish I would go my preferred way as even if I miss it im gonna leave it handy, Obviously if my opponent is on a finish then im forced to start on the bull.

[ssjsa]

What a 157 checkout from Lisa Ashton to save the match, with Aileen sitting on tops.

Could be a match changer.

There is no such word in the English language.
Sitting cooped up on a flight is slightly more taxing than strutting around a ferry drinking.
