    Luck vs Skill Percentage - What Do You Think?

    Focusing on 'luck' while playing pool is not very productive, I think. I mean, I've seen many players lose a match because they were totally preoccupied with that one moment where the opponent slopped in a lucky 9 off of a kiss of some sort. Having said that; I'd say if you can make a difficult...

    WPA bans......................

    Oh, no doubt. But that incites another question: if the pros really don't need the WPA, is that not something the WPA should have known too? Or are they really making a big mistake here, thinking the pros do need them?

    WPA bans......................

    I guess what I'm asking is: are there enough non-WPA-sanctioned, non-nineball events for the players to compete in?

    WPA bans......................

    Just a (possibly dumb) question: For the players who choose the Matchroom-side, does that mean for them that they will only play nineball from then on? What options are there for them to play in 10-ball, 8-ball, 14.1, onepocket tourneys?

    If you could no longer physically play pool...

    I would have some gaps in the week that I would need to find a new purpose for... and honestly, I'd get a bit depressed, I feel.

    Do you know anyone that has been banned from a pool room?

    He was politely given notice that he was barred for 3 months. Next month he's allowed back in, so we'll see if the fun continues. Btw, he was also banned from his own home by the mayor for 10 days (no joke), just to illustrate what type of specimen this is. Let's say he re-invents anti-socialism.

    Do you know anyone that has been banned from a pool room?

    Here in Holland, we recently had a guy that was banned because he relieved himself on the carpet all around a pooltable. A lot went on with this guy in the weeks leading to this, but this was the last straw.

    That's a foul, other player gets at least 4 points or the value of the potted color.

    Odds for a player in Snooker to...

    50% over the 2 occurrences we mentioned here, sure. I'll show you some more occurrences, so we'll have some data to talk about: This Quentin Hann you see here, was notorious for the 'smash break-off' in the nineties. (also notorious for match fixing, but that's another matter) In this video he...

    Odds for a player in Snooker to...

    Odds of making a red is slim to none, because of the difficult pockets with rounded jaws that don't allow a ball going in off the jaw. And even if a red drops, making a 147 is not going to happen because you have to get back to black on every red with the reds all over the place. If you make 2...

    To me, the only thing Vafaei said with that break-off is: "I already give up, you won, congrats."

    2023 World Pool Championship, Kielce, Poland

    He got a call from Emily, to be added last minute to the list of players because there was an opening (maybe Appleton?). This was right after he won Dutch Championships 8Ball last week.
