Is Ronnie O' Sullivan Still Focusing On Pool?

no he doesn't really play pool. he gave a it a go for the IPT but with said tour failing he's just sticking to snooker.
He is now back concentrating on Snooker, and hit a maximum 147 break today in the Northern Ireland Trophy today, he is playing well 
Snooker is far better suited for him. Much better game to show his true talent. More money and prestige...very little luck factor. He would be really stupid to take up pool, even if money was equal to that of snooker tournaments.
9ball players today are all so good at runouts that anyone has got a chance provided that their break is working. I mean look at what happened to other Ronnie at WPC (Alcano). There was absolutely nothing he could do to stop Daryl Peach from beating him. Bustamante was lucky to win his match today because Nick van den Berg produced a dry break. He even admitted that after the match. You could be the best 9baller in the world, but that doesn't mean you'll ever win the championship.
Now compare that to snooker championship and their long matches. If you're the best there you will be the champion. That's for sure.

Five centuries out of 5 frames including a maximum 147 is more than playing well. It's yet another amazing historical all time first ever record for Ronnie. He is simply a snooker god when he plays like this. What a difference 24 hours makes.Buckster_uk said:He is now back concentrating on Snooker, and hit a maximum 147 break today in the Northern Ireland Trophy today, he is playing well

The Rocket, who lost to Marco Fu in the final of the Royal London Watches Grand Prix last month, has just returned from a promotional trip to China.
The two-times world champion said he would consider buying a property in the country.
"I haven't had any time to practise since Aberdeen, I spent a bit of time with my family then went to China," he said.
"But I don?t need to practise as much as some other players. I've had a demanding schedule but I'm fit and able to recover.
"I had a great time in China, I love it and they look after me. I'm thinking of buying a house there as I'll be going there more often. The future of snooker is good there.

Good point, predator. 9-ball should not be seen outside the confines of boy's clubs.predator said:
