Have you ever felt like doing this???

Ronnie O'Sullivan,,, He is a Bad Ass,,,in a good way. You have to be to just walk out.
I wonder what the entry fee was???
 
YEA LAST NIGHT!!! Actually I was just practicing and was shooting so freaking badly that I finally gave up, kicked myself in the butt and went home. All I could think was WTF was that.. Great thread LOL!
 
Never,ever. No matter your strategy or lack thereof ... Take your medicine and then quit if you are so inclined.
 
Ronnie is a drama queen that doesn't think of anyone but himself.

What a nice way to treat paying customers who have come to see you play.

Walking out of your local tourney is not the same as being walking out of a pro event.
 
Huh? I believe he was 'inclined' to quit, no?

So then your 'never,ever' means sometimes, yes?

I am all buissy, I guess.:wink::o:):grin-square:

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 was fined nearly £21,000 and docked ranking points.
 
I've never been that good to pull that off...

I have pulled up during a practice game with someone. I don't like to play in practice mode when I play bad. I needed to get to a practice table and work out a hitch in my giddyup.

They got pissed. We didn't practice anymore after that. I couldn't believe he got mad. I had explained why I was pulling up, besides it was just a practice game and I was leading by a substantial margin. It was a race to 125 and I had the lead 100+ to 50 somthing.

Couldn't agree more. I've done this at my local 9 ball tourney plenty of times but no one paid to watch me do that.

I never wanted to do that.

I have, however, wanted to:

set a table on fire because i rattled that corner ONCE TOO OFTEN.

javelin my cue through the guy(s) that are being loud to impress the ONE girl in the pool room.

flip over the car outside whose alarm goes off every 15 min because the old lady that drives it keeps hitting her panic button by accident.

let the collective bar-pool world know that A SAFETY IS GOOD POOL!

But, I have never done those things out of common sense and self-respect.

Walking out midway through a match is an embarrassment and shows a serious lack of respect.
 
I have heard about this incident. Thanks for posting a link to the actual video. I would hope he had an explanation for leaving all of those paying attendees with nothing.
 
Is this Ronnie Strickland?? lol..

Kind of, theyre both geniuses in a way. Strickland has that "I don't care" attitude sometimes when he plays like he'll play with his left hand for fun. In this case, he said he felt that Hendry was going to just rip him up after that miss so he just conceded.
 
The only excuse I would except is a turtle head. Other than that it's classless. No joke two weeks ago I'm playing this guy who's an APA 3, probably 65-70 years old, think cross between milt from family guy and Ed Rooney. He's stretched out over the table on a tough 8 makes it, gets all excited and literally craps his pants. He sets his cue down and runs to the barthroom knees so far apart he must have been clenching something fierce. He's waiving his hands up in the air yelling "I'M GETTING OLD!!! I'M GETTING OLD!!!" funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

"I'M GETTIN OLD!!!!!"

Took him a good 20 minutes to come back and finish the match.

Thats probably way funnier to us then it was to him:D
 
I saw this video a while back. A friend and I went and played some snooker today. I haven't played in years and new I wouldn't do very well, but we had a heck of a lot of fun. Yes, I've felt like doing that more than once play pool.:)
