Pool vs Snooker

I've watched a lot of Snooker lately, I've enjoyed it allot, and I've come to this conclusion. I truly enjoy watching a great one pocket match, or 8 ball match or rotation match even moreso. There's more going on, and it's never predictable. Snooker on the other hand, once matters are opened up can at times be repetitive. Ronnie O'Sullivan running 147 in less than 6 minutes, or Earl Strickland running ten racks of 9 ball in a row for a MiL, no comparison.
 
Matter of fact after watching all that snooker makes me want to watch or play pool even less than i already did

The class shown at the end just completes it for me

Good God. Sanchez is beastly. He's surely ranked in the world top 3.

Holy Jesus, so I posted the above while watching the match, and Caudron came back from 18 behind. Wow.

That was the best 3C I've ever seen as well.

Caudron currently ranked 3rd
But equally a master with the video backing up his play just search his name
And that was not his most impressive comback or performance

Caroms and one pocket are where players go who don't have the skill to compete in pool. Like how goalies in hockey start out as players until they realize being goalie is their only chance.

That was fun to watch. I can't believe Sanchez whacked Caudron in the kneecap with his cue like that at the end. I've never seen a fistfight nearly break out in a 3-cushion match before, but yeah, that made it exciting.
 
Thanks for the link _sur..... that was some incredible play. Right up to the time Danny blew it.
Little bit of nerves, I'd say.

34 points in 9 innings isnt blowing anything
Thats a 3.777 average out of this world play
Caudron ran a 11 when he had 23 danni missed one shot
Thats billiards sometimes

When you sign up to play caudron
You need to know what your getting into

Jaspers ran 22 on him in a single inning and he came back from that in a 35 or 40 point match the video is pn youtube
The man is a master

Caudron also tied the high run in 3c in a match 28 points in a single inning
And lost the 40 point match!

You apparently know nothing about carom, one pocket or hockey goalies...you are either ignorant, a troll or just plain idiot, take your pick:rolleyes:

Right, but the last shot was a "somewhat" routine shot, that he would probably make 9 out of 10 times. ....No?
 
ya thats a shot i give him making 10 out of 10 actually didnt seem like he took enough time, probably feeling like he should make that 10 out of 10 times also

but misses are much more common in 3c, there is such a multitude of variables at play

Might not be a good time to tell him about how carom players use the diamonds.
:eek:

I wouldn't need to use diamonds...and I doubt they use them either.. if they do then I have even less respect for them now.
