      Don't write Selby off, he will come out tonight and buzz. 3/1 is a decent price.

      Also Trump will win this year, be a nice boost to the form of a certain someone. Be worth a fortune at stud if I was a racehorse

        Starvin Marvin in the audience today? Don't know what he looks like but I'll keep an eye out anyway.

          He's there for the mark Allen game, he looks like a hobo with Mach 3 head and bin laden beard.

                  So I was spot on with my description

                      Robertson has been the best player so far by a street. Should be favorite, 4/1 is a gift

                      Comment


                        Outstanding stuff from Trump so far this morning. Playing out of his skin.

                        Murphy v McGill on the other table seems to be a high quality game too. Good snookering this morning after yesterday's washout.

                          Hawkins surely worth a stab at 50's+ in the outright. Obv has it cut out against Robbo but he's ranked number 5 for a reason, goes under the radar but form in this tourney last few years has been magnificent. Will be in the easier semi on paper if he progresses so can lay out at I'm guessing 5.0 if he makes a final against Ronny or Judd.
                          Profit before people.

                            Just load on Robertson. I guarantee success

                              Bingham at 6.6 is not too shabby either to beat Ronnie

                              Comment


                                Bah Hawkins, that was a big frame to lose. Some horror show shots with the rest from both lads in this session.

                                  3 big frames to lose

                                    Should be 10-3, he's throwing it away.

                                    Needs to get out of this 8-8 and get his head together for tonight.

                                      Those two shots. Hawkins lost his head here.

                                          99% it's half your stake at the full odds.

                                              Meant 99% sure. Its all the one anyway there is a maximum incoming imo possibly from young Juddly while he's spanking Ronnie/Bingham

                                                  Could do with Bingham taking out a couple of these century opportunities here. The 2nd last red where he played for the pink was totally the wrong shot to keep the break going and get over the century line

                                                            Robertson is just ridiculous at making centuries. 11 so far. Amazing stuff

                                                                                Of all the regular commentators, who would be your favourite? Based on who i think calls the action the best/talks relevance, I think my list would be something like:

Agree with FD regarding how unbiased Griffiths is, especially during the Robertson Hawkins match. Virgo is a bit different too which is not a bad thing.
                                                                                      Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

                                                                                        I haven't thought much of Foulds this season. Maybe it's because he's lumbered with Johnson, Phil 'I'll just read out stats from the internet all day long' Yates, and a couple of other nobodies.

                                                                                        Taylor is pretty good and calling the game tbf. He's a good co-commentator to have alongside a Hendry/Doherty that will be a bit more technical.

                                                                                        I always enjoy Griffiths. He's a little dreary, but generally very good in the box.

                                                                                        Virgo/Thorne still commentate like it's 1984 and forget the game has moved on, but Virgo can bring a bit of life into the game.

                                                                                        Johnson is just the nut worst. The amount of shots he calls wrong, mistakes he makes and just his general overview of the game leaves an awful lot to be desired.

                                                                                        Comment

Just can't understand why he keeps smashing balls in when it's not the correct shot. Looks good when it comes off, but it's failed more than it's worked so far. He needs to settle down a bit and try to get ahead to get some confidence up because it's lacking, and he wouldn't get neat Murphy playing like this.

                                                                                              Getting out here at 8-8 would be a dream.

He missed getting into a final a couple of years ago because of the smashing and lack of canniness. But Bingham playing a very mature game, very comfortable in his own skin.

                                                                                                  Yeah he said in an interview that he's going to play 'his way' because he feels under more pressure playing shots he doesn't feel comfortable with. Just think he's taking it to the extreme at times, especially with a few of those balls along the cushions. This can still go the distance.

He seemed to lose a little focus after he went 13-9 ahead. The way Judd played in that session it is an absolute steal for him to share it and stay only two behind. He really looks to be having trouble controlling his emotions as while his demeour has remained fairly calm, judging from his game he looks to be tiliting hard at times.

                                                                                                        Would be really happy for Bingham to get a win. Been backing him a bit this season after he seemed to really like the new format and has been playing some good stuff. He might have the upper hand in some of the scrappy frames, but he can't afford to give Murphy a big lead tomorrow. This final could be a lot better spectacle than some people are expected. Go Bingham!

Most of the tournaments are everyone starting at R128 now so becoming less of a factor.

If Murphy won the final, he would be WR2 and Bingham WR6 as opposed to the other way around but not sure if there's a better formula. It's effectively trying to force players to play smaller ranking events for less money than if they rested up and played non-ranking or promos for more money.
