Aggressive? Or do you take it easy and only play a pot if its on? How do you get yourself out of a bad patch?

How i play depends on my mood. If im in a good mood i'll only take a pot if its on, but i play more aggressive when im in a bad mood. And as for getting myself out of a bad patch, i just found a method that really helped. Call every ball your going to pot, it just helped me. I got a 71 clearance from it

I rush all my shots and i don't stop to think what the next pot is going to be,and i take the really hards one too, so that's a good idea to call out the ball you are going to pot eh eh eh

If there is a pot on, i go for it!

When im playing well, i take about 5-10 sec a shot. I speed through the break lol.

i have adapted my game over time, when i 1st started i would snooker players if the pot was any less than 50/50, since then i have grown into a more attacking player and now only very rarely play for snookers, if i require snookers though im pretty good at them due to my defensive days

I am quite conservative, i would rather try and pot a player out of a game than play aggressive and go for a big break. I am happy everytime i get a half but as I am getting better at the game I am becoming more frustrated with my lack of concentration which is my downfall in as of yet not scoring a century. my defensive play is not good enough for someone with my rank. I have started to understand the spin more now. which definitely helps.

Oh and another thing, im always like thinking 6 shots ahead of what i am on. When i get a good chance to smash into the pack, i will.

it is good reading about how people play. I actually try to get red black red black because it is hard i thinkand quite risky to go for blue or lower and to get back up to a red . (EH EH EH)

Whats the mentality of people when they start a game? What i mean by that is, if a virtuoso is playing an intermediate, do they relax because they think they're going to win? And similarly the other way around, does an intermediate play better against a virtuoso because they know they've got to?

Just want to see peoples thoughts on this as well

When i play someone and they take black all the time i respect them, but if they pot balk colors or black occasionally i hate them

I dont play so well when i play a 600 because i think i'll win easily and sometimes i don't.

when i play an 800 i concentrate more and think about the shots more and when i play a 900 i play the same as i play a 600 because i think i won't win and theres just no point of trying because i dont think i'll win and i never do eh eh eh

what about other people?

I always try to judge my opponents style, then play the opposite, taking them out of their comfort zone.

Playing safe against players who usually do so themselves is extremely effective.

IMO playing the table not the opponent is better, if a player decides that they will go out of their own comfort zone to try and take me out of mine thats good news for me

i am more aggressive. i only take a pot on if it will help me get a angle from the colour 2 the pack or to and bunch of reds i need all reds 2 b out of pack in a gd open space but like many gd players then can get the white in between the smallest gaps i dont have that skill so need all reds a gd space apart so i love aggressive
