Long Dong vs. 3-Foul-Rule

nice to see the same old same old snooker vs pool debate creep into this video too

That sounds like John Higgins commentating on the match...is it?

great brains by Voldes.. If Luong spreads the ball to avoid another safety.. the table would open up.. so there really is no choice..

hey come on, the safe shot in itself is an art to handle, u should use the rules 'til they change em. he did the right thing, u can't go out there and play like a fool to the advantage of your opponent.
as long as u follow the rules.. that's part of the 9-ball game.

i hate when people dis the defence game in Pool/9ball....its such an intricate part of the game and requires some of the deftest touches.

watch snooker, the true test of skill with ball and cue, and the kind of saftey shots they do with placement across that ginormous table....its a sight to behold. and when you pull off a perfect saftey, its just as sick as hammering in a tight angle

maybe that's the reason why pool is a more famous sport than snooker.. more and more snooker players bring their cues to 9 ball.. including your superstar Ronnie O' tried playing pool(but didn't win a title)... as compared to pool players going to snooker.. all because it's more fun to watch and play it... it's got more brains to play.. not just to out skill but out wit your opponent..

Actually snooker players go into 9 balls because the money gets interesting for them. Otherwise they probably would stay in snooker.

People dont go from 9ball to snooker because they know they dont have a chance to win anything whereas the opposite isnt true.

no.. it's just that snooker is a boring game... It's just too bad efren reyes and O'sullivan did not have a match... and both of them are now aging.. efren plays almost all cue sports and domintated specially rotation, one pocket, 2 cushion carrom and 9 balls... sullivan only dominates one game, and that is snooker.. he played bad in 9 ball as I saw.. he managed to win against strickland.. but strickland was in a hot temper as always if you are watching..

Actually they did, but it wasn't official. Reyes beat O'Sullivan and I don't remember the second person he played. He played with his pool cue and ran multiple centuries. For the snooker trolls who are watching, this is a quote from an interview with Daryl Peach.

Doesn't snooker have higher purses than pool?

Pool players could win in snooker, I don't believe after playing pool that they want to play snooker though. Pool you can have alot of fun with, where I haven't seen much fun in snooker. Snooker is alot less beginner-friendly than pool. You can get some people who can't play for anything and whack balls around on a pool table and have fun, but a huge snooker table wouldn't be much fun for goofing off, not for a casual player who doesn't compete.

agreed. very smart and strategic play, but very dirty, too...
