in the draw this week is Ronnie O'Sullivan whos not entered many but the ones he has not been as profitable as he would hope so with the Players Championship and Tour Championship coming up Ronnie desparatly needs points this week in Wales.

Now he knows he needs to in order to compete in the remaining Coral events, he might take it seriously.

The man who complains how much he hates Crawley, then spends the week there anyway.

I'm strategic thinking is something Ronnie does.

You cant afford to think like that it puts so much pressure on the World and if it doesent come off you feel like fool.

you got to try and win everything you enter some will come off others you lose i dont buy this burnout get out clause players use.


If you want something badly enough you find a extra level to try and get it sometime you lose as all players lose but this burnout thing is a excuse before you lose

Your beloved Selbo used that "excuse" in 2013. I personally believe such a thing can happen.

Ronnie doing something to make himself look a fool? Unthinkable.

I would, but I arrive Friday.

I'll be there Monday-Thursday. I prefer many-table set-ups. But I tend to watch the younger players until later rounds (when they've usually all lost).

Who's Minky?

Milkins?


Nutcharut "Mink" Wongharuthai from Thailand. First female player on record to make a 147. She and Reanne Evans are among the wildcards for the shoot-out.
