🔥 When Ronnie O’Sullivan swapped the snooker table for pool

[@J10Wilshere]

This guy should give snooker a try

[@Hammadabid.]

Yeah it almost feels like he will be the best at it if he tries, but honestly he might not be able to beat sullivan guy

[@detectivecoder7271]

Wow you have 147 like, maybe this is a good like signe for this guy's career

[@thomasmeyer8798]

A swerve over tho whole of the table and taking a combo - that's my man.

[@ibrarali9369]

Ronnie couldn't miss with these pockets

Ronnie can pot them with he eyes 👀 closed 😂😂😂

[@lf67hh28]

He's generally failed everytime he's tried pool seriously.

[@sauce1232]

​@@lf67hh28Entering 3 or 4 pool tournaments for entertainment and not winning any means failed? 😅

[@lf67hh28]

@sauce1232 It wasn't for entertainment, he entered to win as the prize money was far superior to snooker. He admitted it himself.

[@sauce1232]

@@lf67hh28 He just tried a couple of events without proper practice. Stop making it like he tried a pool career lolz

[@olivermccall9770]

Ronald's a decent pool player.

[@Lohanginfroot]

RIP Sid you're sadly missed.

[@toziassmitt]

He would’ve dominated pool if he wanted to, but why bother when he can go win £500,000 per world championship and £250,000 per uk championship and masters title. American pool just didn’t, and doesn’t, have the prizes to compete back

[@loganwilliams7635]

American pool doesn't but other pool does these days, Chinese 8 ball or European pool talking about having prizes in the millions and already higher than snooker sadly

[@toziassmitt]

@@loganwilliams7635 Chinese 8 ball competes with snooker in prize money, true, their worlds is more prize money than the snooker worlds, but it’s only one tournament- the world 8 ball championship alone. Difference is with snooker it’s possible to win the UK, worlds, masters, German, shamghai.. etc in a year and make millions+ in a single year. Obviously only the very best will have a season like that, but only the very best Chinese 8 ball player will win the Chinese championship. Even if you won every single Chinese 8 ball competition available, which is more difficult, arguably, you still wouldn’t come close. As to European pool, I’m not aware of any pool EU tournament that comes close to snooker prizes tbh. As much as snooker players complain, and they have some right, they make more than every other cue sport going -and by a longshot

Chinese 8 ball has better prize money

[@alancarlton8380]

You'd think Ronnie was riding the Grand National Legend Red Rum the way the commentary is getting excited (& part reason O'Sullivan said thanx but no thanx😂😂😂)

[@ash6415]

If he took this even half seriously he’d destroy everybody.

[@lf67hh28]

He did, he literally did a pro season and got destroyed. Most snooker players struggle on a pool table at world level.

[@thebluedaypodcast7020]

With pockets like this a snooker player with a bit of practice an xp would be unstoppable

[@tanelihotanen3394]

Facts state otherwise. Every snooker player who tried pool have failed. Only players WHO were active in both like Tony Drago had a little success in both but he was never a top snooker player and he was never a top pool player either. Average for a profesional somewhat.

[@daslynnter9841]

​@@tanelihotanen3394yea thats the thing snooker players cant understand, pool is about more than potting. and navigating a billiard table is much easier when smaller balls block less of a larger table.

[@sauce1232]

​@@tanelihotanen3394No top pro snooker player had tried a serious pool career mate so we don't know what would happen if...

[@tanelihotanen3394]

@@sauce1232 exactly, so we can't make a claim that one would dominate the sport. We don't have a good comparison, but a little that we have, doesn't support such claim.

Selby is the only snooker player to have won a pool world championship

[@MrJdsenior]

That was a hell of a shot, but I also watched him get his ass kicked in pool by several people on that special where he came over to the States to run around and play various pool games, That wouldn't have lasted long, though, were he start to play those games with any frequency at all. One HELL of a shooter, nobody on Earth who knows anything about him can argue that. If you think you can, go take a look at his five minute perfect break, and it will prove to you otherwise.

[@ABVW92]

Like a minute or 2 of that 5 minute 147, was standing around waiting to see if there was a prize for a 147 break. The man has unreal precision with a cue.

[@J5X7]

Efren would put Ronnie to sleep on the couch. I mean Judd thump got slept on by Jayson Shaw.

Haha, but Efren literally beat Ronnie at snooker bro. Do some research.

[@toziassmitt]

@@nylasdaddy3197Efren and Ronnie never played a professional match of snooker. Playing a game for fun in a club is not the same as tournament play, and EVEN THEN, that is only a claim made by Darryl Peach, never confirmed by Efren, Ronnie, or any other bystander. No footage, no official record. Just something Darryl claimed. Hmmm, I wonder why a pool world champion would say a pool GOAT beat the snooker GOAT… I wonder what the motive would be there….

But it does mean that any snooker player, of which, the prizes for snooker tournaments are usually larger might I add, can go play pool and be successful pretty easily. But even pro pool players would struggle against even the everyday half decent snooker player. I like pool, but I'm only any good because I grew up playing snooker, only switched because my friends played pool, and it's easier to play that than try to get them to understand snooker.
