How awesome is Ronnie? - Pool, Snooker, and Billiards -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Increibly this is the 2nd time he's hit a 147 in the final frame of a ranking event:

You just run out of words to describe the talent of this guy, different class.

I thought he retired again last year?

Can't imagine anyone ever being so dominant in snooker ever again. Dude's a freak.

Is it wrong that I want Ronnie to have my sister's babies?

Sicko!!

Wow @ the last red.

Potting it at that angle with controlled screw across the face of the black for a 147. Oh yea and he did it left handed.

Big up for Ronnie, currently winning his 6th wc final. Never seen anybody so talented at anything. Great to see him on top mentally, really putting him a class above anyone else.

I guess by "currently winning" he means currently leading

12-11 down going into the final session

15-12 now, Ronnie looks a spent force at the moment, Selby is playing the perfect game against him and grinding him down.

Next 1 or 2 frames will probably decide it in terms of who is mentally tougher going into the final frames.

Selby won 17-14

played great in the last frames, one century and another 86 or so for a game-winning break. Sick clearance in the last frame from 50+ behind to win on the black

Gotta love the British gutter press mentioning he cheated death.....

Still, despite losing, Ronnie remains the best player I have ever played against

Was a great final this year Sullivan v Selby, can't believe he came back from that deficit but just goes to show ya that he can be outplayed.

Selby played very well in that final, but i still wish Ronnie would've won, since he is so amazing. Selby grinded this one for me, but next time i don't think RO will allow that to happen

so sick crashing the car after that final, sometimes bad luck piles up!

I am constantly amazed at the soundness and purity of Ronnie's fundamentals. All the Brit snooker players have excellent fundamentals. This is clearly not the case with a broad range of professional pocket billiard players. Mr. O'Sullivan is so dedicated (when life's little problems are not getting him down) that he proposed cutting off his leg (left I think) because it twitched when over a shot. His father stated, "Are you f---ing nuts". Great story, doubt its true. There are 30 top snooker players that an aspiring pocket billiard, carom or snooker player can emulate. At the top of list is Ronnie O'Sullivan.
