Very sloppy match. Ronnie clearly is at loss when it comes to the safety game in 9 ball. But it doesn't matter much as Bogdan couldn't mount any offence as his high run for the match was 4 balls (once).

Now, I'm not one to criticize a player after only seeing one match, however I hope Bogdan has improved significantly since then. His shot selection was amateurish at best. How did one qualify for the event back then?
 
Wow.... I watched about 7 minutes and felt like I was watching a game show from Japan. The whole thing was so weird I had to shut it off. The play was bad, the venue was odd, the whole thing was as strange as it could be. I feel a little dirty, like I need a shower. And guilty; like I shouldn't tell my wife about it.:sorry::)
 
Bodgan's playing reminded me about Shanelle Loraine. Very uncomfortable with a cue, aims when He's already down on the shot etc. That was very painfull to watch..
I don't know how they picked the players there but the only career highlights Bogdan had was about trickshots :eek:

She's not that bad is she? I was under the impression she could at least run out with bih.
 
how is that guy even classified as a pro and end up playing in the world pool masters? he didn't even seem like a halfway decent amateur!

ronnie must have been like, wow they must let just about anybody play in these pool events. a bit embarrassing actually, makes the event feel cheap. not to mention the fact that they were playing in a shopping mall!

They did the shopping mall thing a few times if I remember correctly. Not a terrible idea as it gets a larger crowd which is good for the cameras, but the fact that is in a shopping mall may not be good for the cameras, lol.

I would be interested if anyone knew how Bogdan really plays, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt that he fell apart under pressure. If he actually was only a C player at the time, I couldn't imagine why he would want to get on camera and play Ronnie. It would only be damaging to his credibility I would think.
 
Wow

I feel like I should get back the part of my life I just spent trying to watch that.
 
Bogdan

I have seen Bogdan live during trickshot exhibition on snooker table and he is awesome when it comes to trickshots! Not so sure about the level of his pool/snooker play, I dont like his stroke at all.
