there was a brazilian snooker player in the 90's, igor figueredo, that was quite good. i think he's senior world champion now. but nowadays the term sinuca seems to be used interchangeably with sinuquinha, which has little to do with snooker. i guess the diminutive took over. they play barbox...

it's not margot robbie but they trained ai slop on her face probably:

overall it looks like "the rest of the world" is ambushed pretty bad in asia so far

mark mägi is a dangerous player when he's in full gear. i've always thought he's more technically talented than grabe.

yes, bonus ball had that grey color shown in OP's photos. it's lighter than simonis shark grey, and imo preferable. pool room i played in changed from that grey to crimson red cloth because they wanted to attract the party people. it was horrible. all it attracted to me was red chalk marks...

the bottom one makes me think of the ending in indiana jones and the last crusade, when indy identifies "the cup of a carpenter". that cue there is the cue of a lumberjack. i like it.

i like having it on in the background at work, but that vietnamese talk is rough in the long run. think i'll just scoreboard watch and check the final. if i can find the bracket

yes snooker wasn't doing too well in the early noughties, that's why quite a few played IPT and W9C. ronnie said recently that when he's done with snooker he will be a world champion in chinese 8-ball. that's delusional. both heyball, snooker and pool have professionalized on their respective...

svb off the mosconi would maybe be a good thing for your side. but i don't think he'll be excluded

is that mike panozzo? if so there's some credibility. that other guy named mike has some ground to cover for me to consider him a credible source. in the end MR, like the players, focus on the bottom line. and if you follow that rationale, putting up a weak field in the mosconi is bad business

of course, peri is good money. one of the highest paying WNT satellite events. it's not much more complicated than that, and if MR wants hanoi to be the bigger draw they should up the prize money more than what they have. i will watch it either way, it's a great event, but i don't blame players...

my post got removed and for good reason, but it did say ">14". otoh don't expect sheriff's office clerks to be geniuses with chevrons..

well he let them affect him negatively. they were 96% cheering for him, rooting for him. they were literally hanging from staircases and balconies trying to watch the match. sometimes the oohs and aahs become negative i guess, and they probably did in roberto's mind. i still hold that WC as one...
