As Juddernaut would say, that’s really careless at this level

Missing easy pots, but also having a terribly unlucky run of the balls.
88 is a lucky number in Chinese. It means wealth is coming. I wouldn't be surprised if that gives him hope and things turn around. I still think he's favourite
How do you rate Lei overall? Think he can bounce back via q school?
He seems to either win a frame with a big break or miss 35 easy pots that even I would get and lose. In those frames, it seems to be over confidence followed by utter destruction of confidence. In other words, the issue is in the mind rather than being because of talent. If I had to put money on it, I'd back him to eventually be a top 32 player. But it could just as easily go the other way, with him not making any more progress.
Q school is a bit of a lottery. He'd be one of the favourites though.
