I saw the thread about the best all round player and no one mentioned Quinten Hann when I believe on paper he is the best all round player bar none, and has been for the last decade although people probably don’t know this cause he does not play in many tourmanents.When you talk about who is the best on an American table and a snooker table and a British/Australian pool table and who has accomplished as much at different games as him or can do what he does swapping cues and games certainly no other top snooker or pool player can come close Osullivan and reyes included And he has only played part time for the last 7-8 years I spoke to him after the north American open and he has said that he is practising again and enjoying playing for the first time since he was a teenager he enjoys playing in America he thinks that this is his perfect game, he thought he could have won in Vegas except for a few weaknesses in his game, which he said wont take to long to fix and that he had to see to learn from the top boys. He also said that although the very top players are good he sees the standard as being low and believes he is favourite to win Reno
Just some info people might not know he went to Las Vegas and had only played on a american pool table a few times plus he quit playing 18 months ago he used a snooker cue the first day and then bought a z shaft and a butt off another player and borrowed someone elses break cue, he still made the round of 7th to 18th
he was
World under21 snooker champion
Ranked 14 in snooker for a few seasons and always in the top 20 while not playing in many tournaments
World 8 ball champion English and Australian version he only played a few times
Won the multi cuesport event twice when it was held American 8/9 ball plus snooker/billiards beat steve davis in one final and Oliver Ortmann in the other there were other emerican and asian players in this
Iv known him for years and he never practises and always says he hates playing and only played in the tournaments thay paid him to turn up too. Well since the north American open all he says now is how good the tournament was, how much he likes this game and how much fun he had their with the players compared to when he played snooker in England and when he is not working he is playing every day now, and even talking of moving overseas next year to play all the ipt tournaments. he is not playing the one in London this year though.
He has always been a wasted talent but i think this is his turning point in his life so watch out i always thought he was the most talented player alive cause iv seen how he has prepared himself for tournaments the last 10 years it was a disgrace which iv told him lots of times but it seems now he is changing his old habits his odds last time were 150-1 i think he is a great bet this time round im having a few dollars on him
