I eat a lot of meat Member 5124, 3000 posts SQ 245, BP 130, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | I used to enjoy a game of snooker many years ago, but i was crap. 2 weeks ago at a wedding in Hereford, I was staying in some large shared posh house with many of the other wedding guests. The house had a games room with a snooker table... I played and enjoyed it, but I was even crapper than before. I did manage to hammer some fantastic long range shots mind, but I was very inconsistent and my positinal play was nonexisitent. Everyone that walked past the table would comment how big it was compared to a pool table. I would then attempt to pot a ball and they would realise that i was s**te, and that it was a hard game. I do enjoy watching Ronnie play as he makes the game look so effortless and easy. A genius of the game. | ||

what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10452 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | It looks so much easier doesn't it on TV. When I play regularly I'm a decent pool player but put me on a full size snooker table and I'll be over the moon with an 8 break, crazy what the pros can do. | ||

403 forbidden message Member 160, 5121 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 225552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | The guy in the video on the right is AGAINST O'Sullivan. He's going to make sure he's doing whatever he can until Ronnie gets his turn, at which point it's going to be game over. Didn't Ronnie purposely mess up a 147 once just because he wanted to, at a cost of $10,000 (the amount paid for each 147 you get) | ||

Ref had to tell him to pot the black for the fans, only O'Sullivan. | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6051 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | An old friend of mine has a son who has played since being a toddler. He's got money on him being a world champ before age 21. The link below is to a newspaper article in which he's mentioned (Jackson Pope). He was 8 at the time and won his frame 95-28. He's 11 now and his best break is something like 80-odd, I seem to recall. https://www.lep.co.uk/sport/preston-district-snooker-league-chris-h... | ||

In another match he looked to the commentary box early on in a break to find out the prize for a 147 When he found out it was 10k for maximum and 2k for highest break he potted a pink instead of a black to score a 146 | ||
