ok , just played spinner beat him 7/1 the next game he snookered 3 consectitive fouls to win, what kind of pro is that , please answer people this is unreal and unfair thanks Aceinawhole

i just read the rule book and i think you'll find spinner didnt break them

aceinawhole i can understand your fustration but is there any need to create threads like this? 3 consecutive fouls is in the rules and allowed so if spinner wants to play for it then he can.

I like the 3 consecutive fouls rule. It adds another dimension to the game. And in all truth, to be able to snooker a good player 3 times consecutively whilst playing off the cushions, is pretty skillful.

9ball is a unique game, with 4 different ways to win, and that's what makes it more exciting than the other disciplines.

PS Ace - pls don't mention names in the threads...especially when you've got the wrong name.

never spotted that martin

ace you are talking rubish 3 consecutive fouls takes skill and gives the opponent a chance to play the game, your 62 golden breaks thats unsporting

Golden breaks are pure ownage. What better for your opponent to take their first shot already 1-0 down.

I've just come back from a visit to a neighbour. Haven't been loggeed into the game itself since 2pm today, Admin can verify.

Also, i dont play Us pool anymore because my system can't run it.

Whoever he played, it wasn't me!

(for the record - 3 foul wins are pure skill - gb's are the pure lack of it)

sounds like 'sour grapes' to me.....well done on the other spinner for skillful snookering

Lol tids.

Is there a duplicate spinner running around? If so, GOD HELP US!!

But to my point, ace, i know myself that it's just pure skill to snooker someone 3 times in a row, i do it myself and that is all part of the game.

If you hate snookers so much, you obviously shouldn't be playing here.

I love snookers, as martin said it adds a new dimension to the game, and i love a challenge, so snookers are all good!!

Oh and ace, you beat this player 7-1, what the hell you complaining about????

Is it me or does aceinawhole moan alot about nothing,i agree with all the above. I lost a match at uk 8 ball recentley to mr_m there, one of the best snookerers in the game iv come across! Sneaky lil bugga!

*thread title changed*


i agree with mcquiston there it takes skill to snooker 3 times so its a deserved win,snookering is all apart of pool and snooker games,think u should join em if ya cant beat them m8.

I could understand if he lost via everyshot or the majority of shots were flukes and thats how they lost because there opponent won by that method.......but not by 'Playing the game' skillfully.

If your going to win....win gracefully
if you going to lose.....lose gracefully


as topshot said......if you cant beat them,Join them

Ace, have you ever watched the professional pool on British Eurosport?

If you haven't, i recommend you do!

So people who win by luck are wrong, and those who win by skill are wrong... Hmmm..

Good point on the real life comparison Mcq. Since you grew up in the pool halls Ace, i would have expected yuo to appreciate the triple snookering is THE way to win..

both gb and snookered 3 times r bad ways to lose tho

also if you are good enough you could do the same or at least get out of 1 snooker out of 3???

Gbs i can understand the losers annoyance, but being snookered 3 times and losing, is Just playing by the game rules ....Thats Life!

I know i should perhaps not put this, but i don't believe for one moment that aceinawhole grew up in a pool hall, not with the way he reacts every time something don't go his way! I seem to always read a thread every now and then with ace moaning. Can i just say, iv played spinner (the other one, lol), and he's a gd player and a nice person! So cmon ace does us all a favour and say something nice when you loose! I do hope you some day get to play mr_mcquiston, i will pmsl by the end! Cause he's the worst for snookering!

What do you offer as an alternative to snookering. If u have no shot on at all, then are you saying that you should just smack it and hit'n'hope rather than play a considered shot? Because I seem to remember you complaining in a previous thread that you were sick of losing to hit'n'hopers??
