Monday 3rd- 8th of September at the Bangkok Convention Centre, Bangkok, Thailand

Although its not regarded as something to measure your success against it did signal the start of a Great season for Mark Williams last season that culmanated with his 3rd Crucible World Championship 15 years after his 2nd.

Mark Williams will be there again this year as will another 3 Times World Chammpion Mark Selby as will be Ding Junhui and Thailands Greatest player James Wattana.

Who will take the spoils this year?

I could with an all Mark - final. Would be tasty. Although I see Selby is just playing straight away great snooker at the moment, can´t much see anyone able to live with him. Gary Wilson for sure actually yes. He just polished away Shaun Murphy, as I well predicted would be the case, during that recent European Masters qualifiers match. And Shaun certainly is someone who doesn´t like getting ousted already before the actual tournament begins, can´t quite remember when he has previously lost those qualifiers matches. Gary just awesome at the moment, the fans can´t believe how steadily and wisely he has been able to shine his GREAT (!!) natural talent.

Well tell me about your recent successes, Shaun Murphy, then :hmmm:. As long as it isn´t all about solving the Rubik´s Cubes I will promise not to call you a loser and not putting rofl rofl down your intelligence. But if it is all about the Rubik´s Cubes, <doh> <doh> <doh> .

:hyper:

That´s how the world works, folks. Besides that Gerard Greene thinking via and with his d1ck instead of his brains. Or the people at the library nominating a human intelligence as something where you should always caught your throat or sucking your teeths and causing all sorts of noices. That´s their taking of a human intelligence. Well, and still, each for their own. But that´s not the of what they would supposed to be imitating or behaving at.

The problem the most players have has a lot do with the qualifiers. Basically player should be able to qualify on each time, otherwise the pressure creeps in during those matches they play during the real thing. They don´t wan´t to qualify 1/3 or 3/8, and then desperately trying to make that deep run (a semi perhaps) what they are expecting from themselves. And from where to continue from or to keep the run going. When desperately trying to play real well it´s already a gone case. Can´t do what actually could and should.

I was just thinking that during this they don´t necessarily have that kind of a pressure. Which, I reckon, should cause some major upsets. Consistently. So not that much easy to Mark Selby.

And by the way, it doesn´t matter at all that if it already "has arrived" or not. What matters to the people is all about telling about their successes. To the people that they reckon that are something.

What style of player is best suited to 6 reds?

Fellas who are very good at putting away reds that are in the open. There's a lot less development needed in six-reds.
Mark Williams, for example, has never been very good at developing breaks, but he has made up for that with being an excellent safety player and long-potter.

Mark Davis is excellent at putting away reds that are in the open, but not very good when a break gets tricky. Ding is excellent at canons and all that, but much too tentative with pack-splits. Also less of that in six reds.

You're right, it's not because they invite the top players and it's usually the same few who bother <laugh>

Hi you runt.
You do realise there used to be much bigger stagings and it was the same people who still ended up winning?

Just out of curiosity.

What players aren't good at playing reds when they're already open?

You're never going to get anywhere as a professional player, if you can't do well when the reds are spread nicely.

The sort of thing Murphy would do, isn't it?

Who cares how his wife feels? Let's make everybody aware of my opinion on the matter. <laugh>

For dear absent Cloudy, here's a TWITTER ATTACK

If we were really to see one another as brothers and sisters, there would be no basis for division, cheating and exploitation among us. Therefore it’s important to promote the idea of the oneness of humanity, that in being human we are all the same.
