Not the best start but i've enjoyed doing other things. Can't get enough of playing snooker at the moment and my games really improving...if only i could say that about other aspects of my life.

The trends are making me rethink some of what I have always been told/assumed were the "standard plays." A big part of this is coming from my own understanding that there are more variables at play in each situation. Things like initiative, stack sizes, deep stacked play, and ...

I don't really mean the fraudulent kind (that exists too in both forms!) but in totally other forms.
