Hope you caught the last frame, Pagulayan just missed out on a century break - ended on 99 to win the match.

Remembering this thread, for all those interested - Alex Pagulayan is playing a snooker match right now. You can watch here: http://www.cbsa.ca/index.php# Just click "Live video"!

Thanks for the update! Hopefully Alex's match or matches are streamed, I've always wanted to see him play snooker.

Efren's action, while clearly pretty useful in pool, is loaded with variables which would likely cause problems on the bigger table with the smaller pockets. Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DYDMMw5TtE&NR=1 See how far his cue moves up and down, and how far it actually comes...

I'm not aware of Davis ever directly comparing the challenge of running 100 at either game, but he did seem to rate straight pool above 9 ball for the professional game. A few of these snooker/pool challenges took place in the late 1980s up to 1990 as far as I know. I have a good few hours of...

I'd never seen it happen until now. Those 77 will be official tournament 147s, this was just an exhibition. It's extremely rare for a professional player to try sinking a red from the break in tournament play; Quinten Hann did it very occasionally and that's about it. Invariably it's a defensive...

I did. My sincere apologies for cheapening the main forum discussion of aiming systems and hot chicks with the mention of an unusual occurrence in another cue game. Glad you enjoyed it, Siz. Higgins and White like to make their breaks a little tougher than they have to sometimes, it seems!

Just posted this in the main forum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vCYf...&feature=feedf A 147 from the opening break by Jimmy White in an exhibition. Enjoy! Alternative angle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hck0v2-J-54&feature=related

Just a difference of opinion, I guess! I don't see stopping the run early as being too far removed from easing up to let someone else win. I think it would devalue the record. I understand that your intentions would be good, I just wouldn't agree with the action. Personally I'd rather see...

This to me is not showing respect at all. Imagine you're competing in a 100m sprint final against someone you really admire. You're way out in front, the gold is yours for the taking, but instead you back off and let the other guy win. Now he takes first place, but he didn't deserve it. His...

You say he got the facts wrong, then you just disagree with the need to see the whole tape. So he wasn't wrong, you just didn't think it was important. Given the history of the paper and their reluctance to show it, clearly it was important. There also was false subtitling, which you should...

Selby doesn't adjust his aim when he's down on the shot - the line of the cue does not change. His head moves a little from side to side when he's down, but this movement seems to be synchronized with his preliminary feathers. His cue moves back, his head moves a little one way, the cue moves...

Not sure about the entry fee, but this was the quarter finals of the UK Championship, arguably second only to the World Championship. The winner of the tournament that year got around £80,000. For walking out in the middle of a match in front of a full house and live national TV audience, Ronnie...

Jeeeeeeeeeesus...

If any of this were actually relevant to this thread then most comedy would be illegal. I am amazed and disappointed that anyone would watch that video and even think about libel or defamation. Lighten up!

People make this argument all the time, and really it's just crap. Snooker is to pool as tennis is to golf? Do you really think basketball and baseball have anywhere near as much in common as snooker and pool? It's a horrible argument and it drives me nuts! Watch some videos of Davis playing...

I didn't think you were arguing that the trailer was not full of cliches, I was disagreeing with your point that if you think of these ideas as cliches now you must think that all of the previous films should never have been made. A cliche is not a cliche first time out, it becomes one after...

Not necessarily. A cliche is a cliche because it has been done so many times before. The first couple of times wouldn't really qualify. Going by the trailer this film could have been called "The Color of Poolhall Junkie Money". Then it could have been seen as a parody and it would probably have...
