Wrt The Masters, Ronny just too good. The guy basically takes a year out of the sport and still wins at a canter. Unbelievably good.
yeah, you can't argue his talent, but i just hate him as an individual. Got very little class and i don't rate that. My favourite player is judd, he's just a total beast too. Him and robertson are the ones to watch for the future for sure.

Had various things to do today and heading to a house party now. Put in a session and made a nice recovery after a shocking start.
hey, thanks! haha, well i love snooker and the house i'm currently staying has a 3/4 size snooker table - great for break building. I got pretty good at pool and now prefer snooker as it requires a whole different skill set and ofc great for mental game! I'm no where near good enough to make half decent breaks on a full size table though. Think my max on this smaller table is 48 which is still quite good but there's tons of room for improvement. Do you play? Did you watch any of the masters at ally pally last week?
Nice, I have never played on a 3/4 table, but 48 sounds very good to me!
My highest so far was 35 on a normal sized table, but hoping to get beyond 50 until the end of the year. Always getting a nice long pot in, potting 1-2 colors and then loosing concentration on an easy one. Drives me crazy..
Masters have been quite entertaining, especially Ronnie's run ofc.
Dunno much about his personality, as the German tv barely shows any interviews, but I once read that he had a complicated childhood and due to that lots of drug problems, so that may be a reason for his behaviour..
Blame it on alcohol because finnish seems solid excuse.
haha, ok we'll let you off

ahh, 35 on a normal sized table is way more impressive than 48 on this table, trust me. You sound like you're definitely better than me! Yeah he did have a rough upbringing etc, and whilst i can sympathise with that, i still don't like the way he carries himself in interviews etc. I just find him quite an attention seeker. Trying to get some vids of a decent break but every time i play with my friends i totally bottle it when i hit like 30 point

ive been snookering a year now, maybe once every 2 weeks, highest break 25
well, i generally find arrogant people quite hard to deal with so he just rubs me the wrong way. Sounds like we'd have a good game mate, hit me up when you come to london and we can play!

Real swingy day but managed to end up a bit at the tables and about b/e for the day with mtts.
3bettor is a huge fish, and std reg otb. Pretty sick hand imo:
Results: $1,719.36 pot ($2.80 rake)
Final Board: 6 7 8 6 3
Hero showed A 8 and won $1,716.56 ($970.88 net)
BTN showed J 9 and won $0.00 (-$745.68 net)
SB mucked and lost (-$187.20 net)
think ill be the underdog though, i can pot OKish but my spin and positional play is horrible
same counts for you mate, hit me up when your in eastern holland
Aye, just tamely under hit the green pot and instead of coming off the top cushion and potting the brown into the yellow pocket i ended up in the D and had a straightish long brown into the black corner pocket.
Fluffed my lines badly on that brown.. was not even close iirc
Stopped playing in our local league for a year or so and came back this season but im playing like pants ... no real time to practice and it shows badly.
Want to get real good at snooker ... must practice !
In NZ pool rules if you commit any foul on the black you lose the game. Pretty great for elite players like me who traditionally have 7 balls left when you're opponent has to hit the black or lose.

ahh, it's all about the positional play. Tbf though, my weakness is position too - potting is pretty good. lol ok, i'll be sure to hit you up

Must've been pretty devastating to say the least. I would love to get good enough to play in a league, but it doesn't look like it'll happen any time soon.

Had a really busy day today with supervision, personal therapy, skyping my parents while they're away and also viewed 2 potential properties to move in to. Unfortunately neither of them will be suitable so back to the arduous task of contacting a million estate agents, explain that i'm a poker player and try convince them to accept 6 months rent up front. Pretty tiring but hey, i don't pay tax and this is my punishment! Played a short session this morning and ran well. Was going to play tonight but i'm not really focussed enough so i'll give it a miss.
Nothing really of interest to post wrt to hands. Coolered a couple fish and bad beat a reg.
