I did once have a 50+ when I was 19 but don't count that because there was a fluked blue in the middle.

My highest break included a couple of flukes, but I usually don't get anywhere near 50, SO IT COUNTS!!!

14

When I made my highest break of 30 the next shot I fluked a red and knocked the black near the middle pocket but the cueball went in off :( so it could have been a 38 for me which I would happily have counted even with the fluke lol.

Rightly so. If I ever made a century break (yeah right), I wouldn't discount it because there was a fluke involved. If we followed that law, Cliff Thorburn's first ever Crucible 147 'wouldn't count'

You must have been pretty strong to hold all those people.

I have to try and remember all the codes on my crappy tablet too....think you want colon shrug colon - no spaces

I don't know the codes of any of the smiles to be honest I'm on the laptop now so nice and easy, Hopefully I'll remember that laughing one going forward!

Did I really write queue instead of cue? SMH

Clue: It's lower than 10...

...and people really count flukes in their high break?! It wouldn't cross my mind to do so unless I made close to that number regularly. I've come over all Eddie Charlton haven't I! He went on a crusade to have flukes banned

7?
I think maybe you should do a poll on whether people should count flukes or not on breaks, I feel at least 80% of users on here will agree that flukes count and count them in their breaks

I totally count flukes in my breaks, it's just most of my highest breaks are in the 30s, so the 50+ was a bit of an aberration bolted together by a fluke

5?

But didn't play again till I was 13 or so.

Goodness. Whatever happened in your initial foray into the game to incur a 12-year ban?

Taking this into account, and remembering your post about how you threw a pool match, I'm beginning to think you're a bit of a wrong 'un!
