Ok not sure if this should be in queries or here but anyway

What do you think is the greatest achievement that has been done? this can be single such as pagulayan's 951 in uk, or cumulative such as quick_pot's 500+ tourneys. This is your own personal opinion so no one is wrong.

Also damee on snooker hit a 147 recently and this to me is an amazing achievement, but it got me thinking; what do you think is the greatest achievement that could be achieved on pool?
And please do not say 1000 rank as this will lead to arguements as to wheather or not it can be achieved!

Thanks guys!!

I'd say quick_pot's 500+ tournament wins.

Still think Damee's 147 over-shadows anything that has already been done in pool.

on both games would have to be 147 on snooker amazing on pool though

the one the one that dazzled me is cityfans overall rank first to hit 900 which is great to break that barrier and then others followed

a bit like roger bannister first person to break 4 minute mile but then theres smith that stunned us all with 920 overall rank that sets an extreme standard

Thanks Smithy ,, a bit privalidged you mentioned my acheivement in there :P

ermm the 147 is such a great acheivement from damee , 500 tournys is a good acheivement, but in todays play theres how many tournys a day ??? some1 with such a good overall play like quick pot .. could easily win 5+ tournys a day and the amount. when he reaches the 1000 mark i'll say thats a gr8 acheivement, for example look at the pure amount onua has acheived only doing UK tournys over the last 2-3 months .. now if he had done US and was as good as quick pot at us .. i feel he wud have hit 500 tourny wins basically by now :D

also i dont mean to demeaner the fact quick pot has hit 500 tournys .. its still a gr8 statistic .. i just feel that it isnt as good as what it should be because of the amount of tournaments a day on pool now.

You say others can hit that many easily when no-one else is even close to the figure, even 2nd place, cityfan84, isn't even half way there.

How many folk play even have the time to play 5+ games a day?

onua0767's spree of marathon wins, deffo

id say Damee's 147 though its tough to choose

quite a few good players play more than 5 a day. cityfan84 hasnt really been on otherwise he would have slightly caught up to quickpot in my opinion

For 5 tourney wins...one would could need to play upto a possible 20 games per tourney, times 5 is 100 games, thats for standard tourneys. 100 games in a day is quite a bit.... and of course one must wins these... so 5 in a day is quite difficult to do at any stage let alone consistently and is also very time consuming which is why it's one of the great achievements

difficult but not impossible though i was on about playing 5 tournaments lol

I had 5 a few days ago. However not a great achievement as it's over a few days where I played my best pool I have.



My reasoning exactly.

Well as an avid snook id say damees 147 is unbeatable

but smithbits overall virt staus is a tough one too!

quick_pot reaching 500 tourney wins is brilliant, but damee getting a 147 at original snooker is amazing, I enjoy playing the snooker and i've done century breaks in arcade snooker but struggle to get 20 or 30 in original,
some of you will reach 500 tourney wins eventually but how many of you will get a 147 at original snooker ?
I know I won't.

Thanks for the input guys, but I'd also like to hear you express what you think would be the equivelent on pool or as near an an achievement can come to it, cheers

Marathon tournaments, lots of, end of!!!

Pool
well as i rate ppl on tourney wins because the rank system is a joke, It has to be quick_pot and his 500+ tourney wins, great achievement

Why's the ranking system a joke?

For those people of REAL achievements, I'd say cityfan and his first to Virt status.

Quick_pot and his 500 tourny wins is very impressive.

6pack_jay keeping top spot for something like 8 months was it? Was really good by any standard.

Squeezy and his ratio is amazing too. I don't know why I'm the first to metion this, as I think his win to loss ratio over them years is outstanding!

I think in a few years time we'll be speaking of some other players like this too.

Gerry getting 920 overall and constantly being virt in one or two or all three disciplines!

Also lordpool on 46 run outs, thats class! I rate a 8 US run out over a tourney any day!

Couldnt agree more, run outs are very highly rated in my opinion.

P.S it was 920

Thanks btw
