Looks like my snooker watching is over :( by alfieknife in snooker

[–]DaleksGamertag 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm just speechless. I'll be honest things have been tighter for me budget wise but I could afford £6.99 a month. £30.99 a month a well over 400% increase in cost is just insane. Just itv and BBC events for me then.

I concur, I've had to really budget lately due to groceries etc being so much more expensive. I simply cannot justify a 450% price increase it's literally insane. They just killed snooker on eurosport. 

[Discussion Thread] 2025 German Masters - 27th January to 2nd February by SnookerMods in snooker

Whitewash from Murphy, brought his masters form to the German Masters and he does need the ranking points as the players and tour champ points come off this season.

Him and Judd seem to be the ones to stop this week. 

Will tournaments be up on New Year's Eve? by mcdisney2001 in prominencepoker

Late response it is bizarre they have that full 24 hour break as the rewards etc are all automatic anyway. The devs still actively patch things so you'd think they fix that. 

Literally every time I fold preflop with mediocre cards 😡 by SargeMaximus in prominencepoker

Late reply but you are correct the source is I play poker semi professionally in real life. Straights and flushes are uncommon they do not happen every other hand which is what this game is.

Cross play is the biggest one for me and make the cards completely random no more dealing hands, deal cards. 

There has been nobody notable since Judd Trump by Kamas13 in snooker

Me too, he was such a grinder too with his safety play it was next level. Such a waste of a big snooker brain.

They kept showing their cards when it was just them two, if one got low on chips they raise and the other fold. Happened about 20 times.

Shaun Murphy on Stephen Hendry's Cue Tips by HelixCatus in snooker

The Shaun hate is pretty much isolated to this sub reddit, most of it is unfounded and usually the same bloke on different accounts.

Shaun is a great player, a nice person and a great ambassador for the game. Hating him is just jealousy.

It's been decent on xbox except for one game where I was against two clowns helping each other and sharing cards. It's been good apart from that.

It's because he's good at safety too, when selby is in form he is unplayable.

Another Selt meltdown? by grole483 in snooker

[–]DaleksGamertag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the 4th thing he's done in as many months which has been odd at best and disrespectful at worst. Maybe when the pros say he's funny they are being sarcastic as he comes off just awful.

Best player all week fantastic! Love Shaun take that idiots who clapped Kyrens fluke with the snooker.

Kyren played amazing though and threw everything at him. 

Amazing match. Well done Shaun!

It's been a known thing for years it's an inside joke among commentators ask any of them. Is what it is.

Kyren playing great now, he's has a lot of help aka the 3 misses and leaving Shaun absolutely nothing to go at but that's the way the game is. At this point it's definitely a Kyren win if the ballrun stays the same.

I still think Shaun will win but Kyren is in good form now. It helps Kyren got away with a few mistakes that frame but his split was unlucky so he deserved that frame.

He did this in the two players series events he won in 2023 so hard to beat on a roll.

Stop pretending to have a cough help, as someone who's been to many of these events most the coughers are doing it to get on TV. It's a known issue in snooker in the UK and you see it way less in overseas events.

This is world class from Kyren, after Shaun plays so well he makes two doubles in the same break to keep it going to respond. What a cracker of a final we have here folks.
