Well, if it's based around 'damee' my contribution of him being the best ever is on topic then.

Im not sure that's correct. Take power snooker when it came out for example. It was really hard and took a long time to get to virt, because everyone's rank was quite low. Not a lot of points to be picked up. Damee had to be way better than everyone to make sure that he didnt lose at all to get to virt in carom. Also, his success % was phenomenal.


Power snooker was different. People who played regular could pick it up quite quickly.

Yeah but the idea that it's easy to gain loads of rank is wrong in my opinion. I think it was harder to gain rank because there was no one to take any off.

Surely the most accurate indicator

The same as a lot of peoples these days?

I'm not saying he wasn't a good player. He was very good, I'm just saying I personally wouldn't class him as all time top 5.

Wasn't he consistently on 55-60%? Maybe I don't remember correctly.

I left for a long time so he may did get to that %.

But from what I remember when I played, he was around 45-50%

not necessarily. those who have reset recently it shows how they are playing now but for those of us who have never reset, all our time learning is keeping our turn % down a bit.

Yeah % has problems, but still a fairly accurate indicator. Certainly better than the rest of the stats out there.

same problem as for success % though. If you reset your games per will be higher.
I would also rather get consistent 3-4 than some games 5+ some games nothing

makes you a more consistent player, not a better player though. a top player can work on consistency a lot more easily than an average player can work on skill...

i see your point though.

lets say someone keeps hitting 2s ...not more, not less...

thats 66,6% which is just amazing... its a little proof that succ. % is a bit more important than runs.

Most of the frames nowadays i hit 3 or 4 points. Then knowing that i'm above 66% with a 3 run, i lose focus a bit, and so i do not hit a run ... i know, i need some kind of therapy lol

P.S Damee is around 53-55%.

P.S2 reseting is fine.... keep in mind that in real life players' careers, succ % starts after the have become pros, not from day 1, when the dont know anything about the game.
So, inevitably players such as adam_147 or whocares8x8 are in fact higher than what their % shows....
Come oooon, reset guys, dont be scared!!!!

P.S3 than u all for nominating me...so honoring !!!
