i tried some snooker

[chamillionare]

wow utter bs here by so many people

you could not run even half of those breaks on a proper riley snooker table even if you practised for 6 straight months. your tables are not snooker tables

you could never make it at snooker if you think you can go and try, there is more money than what you earn in pool.

reading some of the crap that people talk about here is painful for my brain, they obviously have no idea about snooker

ill happily leave you here in la la land jon. do you actually believe these things you say?? good luck and ill be in contact when i start playing again

we can play 8 ball long race big money you can get played all day long and with that money i win ill have a crack at you in straight pool

im not going to reply because it is pointless talking to people that cant be told

and since when jon did we organise toonly play 10 ball and straight pool i have never played either of these games, i suppose you want to play at your house as well. you crack me up jon

good luck and god bless

John clearly downplayed his runs and said he wasn't a pro. No need for the attitude. What part of "if I grew up in the UK and had ten years..." means he thinks he can go over and beat the champions there now?

I think Johns main point is that the very best pool players have the same level of talent and probably could excel at snooker if they grew up with it.

Even a three cushion player like Blomdahl might have had a chance at snooker if he focused on snooker like he focused on billiards. These guys are phenomenal players.

Some of the 12 foot tables in the US were set up for the golf game and won't accept a ball down the rail at all. I can't believe the Riley tables are that much harder than that. I have never played on an "official" table but I've watched quite a few youtube matches where balls didn't go in clean and still potted.

With the new cloth opening the balls more, a guy like John just might do well if he can pot well. Safety play is of course a huge factor though; Selby seems to be thriving off it lately and I'd guess that might be the hardest part to learn.

I'd like to see Chamillionair make any kind of run on the local 6x12. Ronnie O would definitely have a scowl going.
I do agree with an earlier post that with top notch competition, the pressure to make the pot does go up. I think along with that pressure, a more defensive approach to the game grows and the runs are reduced. That does not mean that J.S. cannot make great runs against competent competition. It would just be tougher. He may also lose big if he misses.

only bs here is your post. he never said he could make it in snooker now. all he said was that he has as much cueing talent as any snooker player does and if he'd have been brought up with that game then he would have been a pro at snooker instead of pool.

quentin you used to be a favourite player of mine - i thought maybe behind the ego and all the flash and the bad press you were really lacking confidence in your game that's why you never achieved that much. but now i realise you can just be a huge ass.

 

[crappoolguy]

I'm from the UK and I'm mainly a snooker player and all I can say Quentin is wow... you're an anus head.

 

[john schmidt]

hi

im not going to get into a argument with quintenn.all i can say is this.i think hes a great player and a super talented guy.if i play him pool for big money hopefully things go my way and i win.

First off if you could read you would know what John said, secondly if you could write you would spell his name correctly.

You were an ass in Reno and apparently you still are.

 

[bfdlad]

I guess I don't know the names of all the great players around but I know the top ones I believe. I have never heard of this Quentin person but I have heard of John. I'm not sure what that says about Chamillionaire.

 

[instroke75]

Lol

very funny, and very TRUE!

 

[Fatboy]

I'm putting a 12' Riley Tournment table in my house soon, its on the water/boat comming to America. After the world championships in Sheffield the Riley fitters are going to come set it up properly. John knows me and he is welcome to come to my house in Vegas anytime and play on a real 12' snooker table set up by the guys who set up the tables for the pros of today in the UK. So if John wants to come by when he is in Vegas he'll have a chance to play on it and we could video it. Let me know John, I have a guest house you can stay in as well. Then we'll stuff the doubters.

Quentin,

The word across the globe is that you're bad action.



What separates you from respected champions is RESPECT and integrity. In all of your comments, you have exposed something that 99% of the best money players in the world will use against you - your reckless overconfidence and the lack of respect you show to your opposition. Remember, the higher you build your own pedestal, the uglier the impact will be when someone knocks you off of it. If you don't respect anybody, then in return, they won't have much respect for you either. With your attitude you'll lose a lot of money and a lot of teeth playing pool. Not a threat, just giving you a heads up on what you should expect if you take that attitude into the wrong pool hall.

Plus, with your dumping history, I wouldn't bet a nickel on you or anybody that you're playing. Go ahead and go off on me if you'd like, I'm not the one sitting on the sidelines because I was banned from my game. I'm just calling it the way I see it.

1 i dont go into pool rooms to hustle

2 it is not over confidence my rusults in 2 ipt comps after playing emerican pool for 1 month with 4 different cues was alot better than john's, and i was no where near reaching my best game.

3 i have perfect teeth and quick reflexes always have

4 i have always done very well gambling on myself

5 read what was said i never was accused of throwing a match only talking about it, i just never bothered going to defend myself as the game's prizemoney dropped 50%. although if i cared what strangers think about me i would have spent money to defend myself my solicitor said at worst 12 month ban for bringing game into disrepute.

6 if your so worried about betting and integrity of your game then look at your players a previous world 9 ball champion i saw extort/blackmail money out of a player to fix a match in ipt shit i was there 2 tournaments and personally saw it once and was told about it by another player who was approached to lose a game for 2g to let the other guy qualify. your game is riddled with it and you worship these guys that do it here on this forum???

7 your right i dont have respect for a pool player because he can knock balls in especially when about 60% would dump/hustle/rob given half a chance, and prefer to live like shit playing/hustling pool than go out in the real world and try to get ahead

8 im a millionare not through snooker through real estate but snooker helped me get there, so dont worry about me losing my money i manage ok

9 i have not forgot your challenge of giving me 250 start first to a 100 for 5 grand will be happy to play you when i come to america

1 i dont go into pool rooms to hustleGood for you.

2 it is not over confidence my rusults in 2 ipt comps after playing emerican pool for 1 month with 4 different cues was alot better than john's, and i was no where near reaching my best game.

I don't care about what you did in the IPT at all. Really, I don't.

3 i have perfect teeth and quick reflexes always have

I'm sure your mom is proud of your dental hygiene. As far as your reflexes, I'm pretty sure I outweigh you by about 60-70 pounds. That means that when you run away it's a good bet that I wouldn't be able to catch you.

4 i have always done very well gambling on myself

Then why did you dump? That makes no sense to me.

5 read what was said i never was accused of throwing a match only talking about it, i just never bothered going to defend myself as the game's prizemoney dropped 50%. although if i cared what strangers think about me i would have spent money to defend myself my solicitor said at worst 12 month ban for bringing game into disrepute.

I can't relate. I have never been in that situation.

6 if your so worried about betting and integrity of your game then look at your players a previous world 9 ball champion i saw extort/blackmail money out of a player to fix a match in ipt shit i was there 2 tournaments and personally saw it once and was told about it by another player who was approached to lose a game for 2g to let the other guy qualify. your game is riddled with it and you worship these guys that do it here on this forum???

??? Like I said - I was not the IPT's biggest fan (ask Kevin Trudeau) - so I don't care about that.

7 your right i dont have respect for a pool player because he can knock balls in especially when about 60% would dump/hustle/rob given half a chance, and prefer to live like shit playing/hustling pool than go out in the real world and try to get ahead

You know nothing about me. I'll elaborate on this statement later...

8 im a millionare not through snooker through real estate but snooker helped me get there, so dont worry about me losing my money i manage ok

I don't weigh a man's success on the amount of money he has in his bank account.

[QUOYE]9 i have not forgot your challenge of giving me 250 start first to a 100 for 5 grand will be happy to play you when i come to america

Here's the deal, Quentin. Like I said - I don't measure a man's success by the amount of money he has won or the trophies that he's collected. People with self esteem issues need all of that stuff to make themselves feel better. Take that any way that you want to take it.

I may not have a million dollars invested in anything, but to say that I have never accomplished anything in life is comical coming from someone that has their claim to fame embroiled in controversy and dishonesty.

People that matter in this world have found a way to take their skills and make them beneficial to those around them - they help others and they are not boastful about it. They don't need fancy cars, nor do they need to brag about their real estate and what they are going to do to whom when they get to so and so. Winners show up and do - cowards such as yourself send yickety yack messages across the internet with threats and challenges - it means nothing.

Now that John has washed his hands of you, I guess that you set your sights back on me. Bad move, Quentin, but gunning for me sure is a big slide down the totem pole from John Schmidt.


I'm not half as helpless as you think I am, and I think you're just dumb enough to come here and test my patience with your attitude. You sound as if you're comfortable running your mouth and getting away with it. I come from the old school, and I have no tolerance for disrespect in the slightest context. I was brought up to have respect for the game. That was bred in me on the way up, and I have earned respect because I have upheld that for over 30 years.

In short, you haven't earned the right to disrespect me on the table, or in life. Instead of flexing your muscles and bragging about what you have and what you have done, work on restoring your credibility. IMO, everything else you are doing is misdirected energy in relation to that.

well since i had a woofing contest with quintenn hahn ive tried some snooker.there is a dufferin 6by12 in 9mile in pensacola.in the last 4-5 months ive played under 100 frames in my spare time.ive ran 145,130,116,106,105,105,103 ,103,101 with many witnesses and several more runs in the mid to high 90s.anyway i bring this up to show with some practice i could be good at snooker and the snooker players could be good at pool.now by no means do i think im world class at snooker, just saying with a couple weeks of playing everyday for a few hours i was running 70-100 points every other frame or so.in closing i think snooker is super hard .but if you think if i played it my whole life i could not have played pro snooker you are kidding yourself.as to the snooker verses pool debate i dont know what else to say.by the way i did those runs with an ob1 pool shaft 12.75 mm.also im greatly looking forward to my 10ball and 14.1 match with quintenn hahn.

What utter utter rubbish. You obviously know zero about snooker to come out with such garbage. The breaks you say you got are nothing, any reasonable amateur would knock in those breaks in a session of snooker. To say you could have been a snooker pro is the totally insulting to snooker pros. Just because you got a few centuries does not mean that you could have transcended the next huge steps to becoming a pro. Thousands and thousands of snooker players around the world are knocking in 140's and 130's but how many make it as pros? You are talking absolute garbage and you have shown no respect what so ever for snooker professionals.

Give over.

John simply made the point that if he had started out in a snooker environment playing snooker he would almost certainly have ended up as a snooker pro. I can't see how you can fault the logic. There is nothing magic about snooker. There is no snooker gene. Anyone with sufficient talent could say the same. It has nothing whatsoever to do with crossing over this late in his career, which would be almost impossible. He wasn't insulting anyone, just stating the obvious.

You are talking out of your *** if you think that anyone can guarantee that they would have been a snooker pro. What rubbish.

 

[Burns]

i agree. snooker requires different strategy than pool. sure some could crossover, but skill in pool does not mean youd be good at snooker.

 

[Fatboy]

well since all the pool pro's suck and the snooker pro's are God like, Bring over Higgens-he won last year I watched him and $50,000 and I'll put SVB in the pool table with him playing 10 ball race to 50 for $100,000 winner take all and see how higgens likes it, I m,ean he is at the top, SVB is too. If thats not worth Higgens time as he makes alot of money we can bet more, I make far more $$$ than any snooker player ever has and will post it up. then we'll see if the Snooker Gods are all they are said to be. Believe me nobody is gonna high roll me.

 

[instroke75]

Getem Fatboy,
you remind me so much of my buddy who's a bookie! Somebody tried to highroll him one night, and they proceeded to tell him he had no gamble so he pulls out about $30,000 out of his pocket, and tells them to start burning twenty's and he'll start burning hundred's, and we'll see who pulls up first! They never burn the first twenty, after he burned the first hundred without hesitation, they shut up and rode the f%$& out! Everyone has gamble until they see they can go bust!

Would you like to translate that into English please?

By the way - people who constantly brag about how much money they have are generally knobheads in my opinion.
