Do the same with virtuoso

Iv found i have a unique quality!! I seem to be able to play well in tournys, beating adepts and pros with ease, yet when it comes to ranked games i flop!!! (was 790 now 750) Bloody amazing! lmao! Does anyone else suffer from this!

hi evry one howz it goin? i wuldnt say i had a sertain skill except for luck i guess!!
i will play u all later but i have to go the now c ya's!!!!

specialist skill.. i dont miss often.

'I'm great'
Is that what you had in mind martin_blank?!

Didn't think so, I'd nominate topshot for very impressive trickshots, squeezy is a great tracker, which I think leads to those 7 ballings he mentionesd.
You all so cocky lmao!

Nope - nothing in mind at all. My mind's a _blank

So far we got the following nominations for specialist skills:


7ballers - squeezy & ihatelife
comebacks-aceinawhole
combos - compo
tourny specialists- 1eye & risk
mach3 & topshot - trickshots
snookering himself - mcquiston
predatory finishing - beannie
giant killing - manimgr8
marathon frames - hairypotter
consistancy - bulldog
fouling - spinner
doubles - crap
potting - ibeatubaby
tactical play - risk
Anyone agree with the nominations? Or can you think of better players in those categories? From personal experience, I'm seconding ibeatubaby's claim


Not sure who it was now, Matt someone I think, but excellent snookering - every snooker was so thought-out it was virtually impossible to get out of -and he knocked me out of a 9ball tourny with 2 x 3 consecutive fouls! I nominate him for that one ...whoever he is.

mine would be jawing the 9-ball or 8-ball, leading to an easy win for the other person. It makes life interesting

AHHHH i dont snooker myself.....

i put it across as formal language...say it to yourself.
IM GOOD AT SNOOKERING OTHERS lmao!

7ballers - squeezy & ihatelife
comebacks-aceinawhole
combos - compo
tourny specialists- 1eye & risk
mach3 & topshot - trickshots
snookering - mr_mcquiston
predatory finishing - beannie
giant killing - manimgr8
marathon frames - hairypotter
consistancy - bulldog
fouling - spinner
doubles - crap
potting - ibeatubaby
tactical play - risk

was that a cheap remark there martin?? you think i can't play well ( i can't but still...)

nah only kidding matey, but if it was a cheap dig...shame on youuuu

trickshot for trickshots.

His name is that for a reason.

He's the only guy when I snooker him I expect him to pot 90% of the time and he normaly pots more often.

rich + cool_dude for consistant high rating overall

leave it a few months and add virtuoso7 to that, provided he's still there.

predatory finishing? is that good or bad?

its gooooooooood it means you let them play 1st and then thrash them very nice of you

im still in shock somebody noticed me! im usually fair to middling no threat to the big guys but hahaha i'm creeping up on you guys

Dunno if im that good Martin, to warrent a reward! But i have beaten a few top players in the tournys. For example, sherbert, mekongmarkus, no1hustler, yourself lol! Im sure theres a few more. Iv never beaten THE BEST though!! And im sure theres plenty of ppl who have beaten the above in tournys. Did i mention vladimir, although by points hes not great, but a few tourny wins!

Players with Specialist Skills what ever


U have to work for skill. Lots of Practice it is the only why to get good at funky pool.

eh yeah, ok then...players with 'specialist skills that they've WORKED HARD AND PRACTICED to perfect.'

Happier now

If lots of practice makes you a specialist at it, I vote myself for every category.

cheers Martin.. tho i would also consider myself as tournie expert aswell.

I rarely get knocked out early on.. and i only really play any tournies on friday or saturday. so achieve wins i have is top stuff.

Cheers.
