I have a bit of knowledge about Snooker... from wikipedia. But I have to agree, this guy, whoever he is, is the best pseudo-pool player I have ever seen.
A snooker is a trap, basically. In any form, your trying to block your opponent from shooting at the ball/balls they're meant to. So, in 8 ball, you would get it behind a solid, assuming your opponent is stripes. It's a very hard thing to do. Lol
@@James-kn5hb Oooh, thanks for the explanation. That is actually the last piece of the puzzle for me. So Snookers' is a game like pool where you try to get as many points as you can, and if you can't you put the white where your opponent can't use it.
Played snooker twice. The size of the balls, the shape of the pockets and the sheer magnitude of the table is quite intimidating. This man has my respect.
That's a legendary moment from Ronnie... Asking what the prize is for a maximum break after pocketing your first ball is a cold move... reminds me of Larry Bird walking into the '87 Three point contest staring at everyone and when asked what he was looking at said, "I'm trying to figure out which one of you guys is coming in 2nd...".
Yeah good comment chap I've followed Ronnie since he was 14 /greatest natural play since The Great Joe Davis - won world title 15 times / his little brother Fred won it a few times they both played into their 70s. But Ronnie the best I've ever seen - p.s. I'm a very old man with a good memory '😀Jk.
I don't think people realise how special that actually was,we see plenty of maximum breaks,but his vision after potting one red,he already knew and believed he could make,he honestly is a genius,love him or hate him,the man is one of a kind.
Such an angry final black. He's just like "ugh, FINE", slams it in and then pretty much just storms out. Volatile chap at times, but jeez that skill... I didn't realise until I saw another comment here and then watched it at 0.25x myself, but that final black didn't even touch the table - he literally jumped it straight into the pocket. And he was already turning away from the table before it even landed.
Like 90% of these comments are just people that got this in their recommended with no clue what's going on (myself included) but we all still watched till the end.
For people who randomly stumbled upon this. When he was young there was a game where he was able to acore the maximum (147) points, but then asked how much would be the prize. When he found out it is only 10k he intentionaly scored only 146, because he didnt think it appropriate for the skill needed to do the 147
And that honestly is the reason I love watching him 😂 took a while to like him but when he basically says fuck you to the hosts for a shit prize fund considering the skill required you get my at most respect (not that it matters) regardless how cocky you are 😎
My dad used to play a lot of snooker, picked it up when stationed in England prior to D-Day. I haven't seen a snooker table here in the USA in decades. It is the hardest billiards game I've ever played by a factor of 10. What this man did is mind boggling!
To put it in perspective, snooker was invented in 1875 and the first official 147 wasn’t scored until 1955. The first televised maximum was in 1982, so to call it when only a couple of balls have been potted and nonchalantly make it is indeed mind boggling.
He thought it wasn't enough, that's why he left the black and shook his opponent's hand, but the referee jeered him so he slammed it down. He once actually left the black, shook the opponent's and ref's hands, and walked away because he didn't want the "lowly" 10k pounds on offer.
I like how at the end of the game, Ronnie shook the ref's hand but completely ignored his ""opponent"", as if to say "What, are you still here? Show's over, go home."
IIRC he was in a similar position another time and didn't think the maximum break prize was enough so he didn't pot the last ball, that's why the commentators were egging him on to "go on, pot the black" because he'd refused to before.
Rules for people who have discovered snooker thanks to the algorithm: 15 red balls, each worth one point. 6 colored balls with points: yellow 2, brown 3, green 4, blue 5, pink 6, black 7. Until you’re out of red balls, the players need to pot one red and one colored. A break is the sum of your points within a single turn at the table. So if ronnie made it up to say 80, then missed one, and luckily for him the opponent missed again with no points, and ronnie went back to the table and did a max 147, he wouldn’t have made a max break, only a 147. Cause it was done with two turns. So to do a max break you gotta clear the whole table in the most optimal way during a single turn. Since you gotta alternate between red and colored, and of all the colored balls black gives the most points, the max break is done with red-black combos until you run out of reds. After all the reds are gone, you pot one more black for the last red, then clear the colored balls off the table in the ascending order of points. There’s also a thing called “snooker”, that gives the game its name, where you make a “safe” shot by hiding the cue ball so that the opponent doesn’t have a direct line to any reds, so they’ll hit a colored one and faul etc etc.. red: 1 point, black: 7 points: 15 reds in total --> 15*(1+7) = 120 points after all the reds are gone and assuming you managed to get a black after each time you pot a red colored balls: 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 27 120 + 27 = 147 the max break (and also the max number of points on the table without snookers and fouls)
@@dawiddulian2403 And also the table is much larger than a pool table. I mean I am a pool guy myself (only at bars tho) and I tried snooker once.. yup, it was challenging :D

@@ColdSword816P no the color balls have different values. Yellow - 2, Green - 3, Brown - 4, Blue - 5, Pink - 6 and Black - 7. Hence, they are potted in ascending order of value once the 15 reds have been potted
This is still on my top 5 list of best ever televised (sports) moments! A talented guy who puts his money where his mouth is!! This is very hard to come by these days!!
When he asked what the prize money for a maximum was, Ronnie had looked at the position of all the balls on the table and already calculated he had 96.7% chance of the maximum break.
I haven't played snooker in YEARS but as someone who enjoys watching and playing high skill ceiling games this was incredibly powerful. This mans is insane!
Lmao... I once carried my whole team within twenty minutes in LoL cuz my gf asked me to come over. Never in my life have I repeated that feat tho😂😂. Your comment made me remember that XD
Yeah I mean, just about any one of us here could have competed with Mr. O'Sullivan on a professional level here. As in, miss one shot, then watch him empty the table.
I love snooker and played it for years on weekends in my 20s....Now a grandfather this has brought me back memories.....God darn I never seen shit that this......
Pretty sure that last black left the table! 😳 What a masterpiece finish. A bounce trick shot at full speed straight into the last pocket. I take my hat off to you sir. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
For those who hasn't played snooker yet notice at how big that table is compared to the one in your house. It's like a football field compared to a putting green.
Ronnie is one of the best, if not the best snooker player in the world. He regularly clears tables like this and even refused to finish a game once because the prize money wasn't high enough for him.
Ronnie infact is the best player of all time. He has 37 ranking titles, 20 triple crown titles, 15 maximum breaks, 1105 centuries, and has earned a prize money of 11.8 million pounds in his career, all of which are records. What more do you want?
That's the nature of snooker, you miss a shot, you may not get another chance that frame if the reds have opened up enough. You're relying on your opponent losing position of the cue ball and missing a shot.
@@scottwallbank4794 It's the nature of pool as well, not really that odd. Any time a game allows consecutive turns for success it's expected that a perfect game will happen, and the competition will be left doing nothing. At least in this case he had the chance to run the table first, or at least land the cue somewhere that would prevent Ronnie from making a red. Since he failed this, there is really no excuse of "he never even had a chance to fight back"
Never in my life have I ever seen anything like this in snooker! Also, this is the first time I’ve ever even seen or heard of snooker but I have played a boat load of pool in my life and I’m still mighty impressed!
“Have you ever seen anything like that in your life on the snooker table?” That is literally the only thing I have ever seen happen in my life on a snooker table
He did. He wasn't going to get the max break on the fact that the tornie didn't offer a cash reward to someone who got it. The only reason he took the shot was because the ref convinced him to as the people spectating had never seen a 147
Ronnie sees The 147 before he starts potting. In many ways this 147 is magnificent simply because he saw it, he asked the question “what is the prize money for it”? Nothing wrong with that. And then, executed the most perfect ball Potting I have ever seen . The context made it even more astonishing. It comes across as, I can do it, is the prize money worth my while? That was funny. I was laughing as I typed this because it was funny as hell. Brilliant
I think he was going to stop on 140 as an FU to the organisers. Probably, surely knew no 147 prize before asking. Great that the ref asked him to clear up for the fans, and great that Ronnie did it. What a player. No doubting he's the GOAT
Asking about the prize money after the first red then shaking his opponent's hand before he's potted the black is the absolute pinnacle of sh*thousery and I'm here for it. 😎
King's face is exactly mine when an opponent in 8ball pool breaks... And proceeds to pot every ball right after... We feel for you king... We know the pain
Apart from all the shenanigans going on here, the sheer and utter technical brilliance of that break is just magnificent. I don't play snooker but I think I get how difficult it is, and to have that precision at such speed - with such speed of thought driving it - is just phenomenal. I agree with what Hendry said about Ronnie's fastest ever 147 - it's the best sporting thing I have ever seen.
Never in my one day of watching snooker have I seen something like this
Welcome, he's called Ronnie O' Sullivan
@ Supah Hackah I just Wikipedia'd "maximum break" and there's a pic of Ronnie lol

First time I've ever watched snooker and that was amazing
In that case you should watch his 146 (basically a spite move). I fully expected that outcome, once it was revealed that there was no 147 prize..
Only Ronnie has the balls and instant recognition to ask so early what the prize is for a 147 and the genius to make it happen.
Yeah indeed..but somebody has accused ronnie as an arrogant..to me..he's just want to know what the prize of maximum break.that's all
@@manjago9821 did you hear about his 146 in 2016 Welsh Open?
@@manjago9821 He knew there wasn't a special prize for it. He just wanted to spice things up and give himself a challange. He said it himself.

5:53 there will never be another person on earth that will shoot a 147 last black at such powerful stroke period !
Agree !
Cause ronnie didn't wanted to pot the black for it's low price
shot of confidence 💯
I will...but not for the 147 😂😂
He wanted to miss it, but Ronnie should realize he can't even miss intentionally 😂😂
Imagine qualifying for this game and then having to sit there and not do anything as this guy just runs the whole table.
Ronnie is one of the best, if not the best snooker player in the world. He regularly clears tables like this and even refused to finish a game once because the prize money wasn't high enough for him.
@@kyledadumb4354 that ballz
Ronnie infact is the best player of all time. He has 37 ranking titles, 20 triple crown titles, 15 maximum breaks, 1105 centuries, and has earned a prize money of 11.8 million pounds in his career, all of which are records. What more do you want?
That's the nature of snooker, you miss a shot, you may not get another chance that frame if the reds have opened up enough. You're relying on your opponent losing position of the cue ball and missing a shot.
@@scottwallbank4794 It's the nature of pool as well, not really that odd. Any time a game allows consecutive turns for success it's expected that a perfect game will happen, and the competition will be left doing nothing. At least in this case he had the chance to run the table first, or at least land the cue somewhere that would prevent Ronnie from making a red. Since he failed this, there is really no excuse of "he never even had a chance to fight back"
Never in my life have I ever seen anything like this in snooker! Also, this is the first time I’ve ever even seen or heard of snooker but I have played a boat load of pool in my life and I’m still mighty impressed!
For one's who don't know snooker, It's pool's Daddy.
Correction: it’s pool for grownups.
5252rpm 8 balls pool
@@CelestisForgeUK it's pool for people with good eye sight LOL
It's pool for sober people.
I thought Pool's Daddy was Billiards?
Ronnie looks like a serious mr. Bean.
Yeah
Finally someone who thinks the same
Even i thought that for long...hahahahahhaa
LOL I ALSO THOUGHT SAME WHEN I FIRST SAW HIM 🤣
😂
I’m also a part of the people who don’t know what going on or why I am here all I know is this man might be good at this
This man is (pretty much undoubtedly) the goat
"Apart" and "a part" have two very opposite meanings. If you are apart of those people, that means you do know what's going on.
TH-cam once a year increases the reach of roonie videos for some reason, I was you 4 years ago
what a gentleman he is always make his opponent site quietly and peacefully on their chair love him ❣️
I know about this game and this man from a random suggestion years ago that got me watching a ton. Ronnie is king by far
King: *misses 1st red*
O'Sullivan: so you've chosen death?
Absolutely Genius Man.
This TH-cam algorithm again brings you and me here 😂
U ruined the irony by that emoticon
It's 1am. I have overdue assignments. But this has become incredibly interesting
Watched this a number of times and still can't believe it!!
TH-cam: wanna watch some maximum breaks?
Me: I don’t know what an axinum brake is but ok.
Best comment ever! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't know what an "axinum" break is either.
@@wanderer1955 you missed the brake.. so
@@speedking1353 Give me a break!!
You could almost hear the "F**k you Barry" as that last black slammed in the back of the pocket. Most audacious 147 ever!
Did he shake hands with King at the end?
@@AKorigami nope
@@AKorigami he tried to but king didnt want to you can see it happen
If you look back when he first walks up to him he does shake his hand. Right before he pockets the black at the end
Pots 2 balls and asks if there's a prize for the maximum. #legendary
Legend has it he’s still waiting for that handshake with Ronnie.
Legend has it he did get it, you just didn't bother to notice it before the black went in.
“Have you ever seen anything like that in your life on the snooker table?” That is literally the only thing I have ever seen happen in my life on a snooker table
Imagine being his opponent and just waiting for your turn to come
5:55 *Awesome & Very Good Choice To Lead The Snooker World*
King: *fails to pot the ball on his first try*
O'Sullivan: I'm about to end this man's whole career
Ronnie is in a class of his own .
Amazing !!!
I haven't been randomly recommended a snooker video since 2010
When he hit the last black is it just me that thinks he partly wanted himself to miss it? 😂
it was just a tiny bit risky lol
He did. He wasn't going to get the max break on the fact that the tornie didn't offer a cash reward to someone who got it. The only reason he took the shot was because the ref convinced him to as the people spectating had never seen a 147
Jogador excepcionalmente fantástico. Sou fan desse cara.
I am the biggest fan of his. What a man 🥰 incredible ❤
Without a doubt the best snooker player I've ever seen in my life.
Ronnie sees The 147 before he starts potting. In many ways this 147 is magnificent simply because he saw it, he asked the question “what is the prize money for it”? Nothing wrong with that. And then, executed the most perfect ball Potting I have ever seen . The context made it even more astonishing. It comes across as, I can do it, is the prize money worth my while? That was funny. I was laughing as I typed this because it was funny as hell. Brilliant
Why edit out the actual point where he asks?!!
It's not edited
Check 2:52
@@ghostthebluenosepitbull3309 That's the answer. The question was edited out
I think he was going to stop on 140 as an FU to the organisers. Probably, surely knew no 147 prize before asking. Great that the ref asked him to clear up for the fans, and great that Ronnie did it. What a player. No doubting he's the GOAT
Snooker: take your best shot
Ronnie: 147
Snooker: what?
Ronnie: did I stutter?
What a great game. I can’t wait for every other Snooker game I watch to live up to this exact same expectation
There is more to enjoy then just a 147 yeesh.
Legitimately fun game to watch. Trump is pretty good too
Never in my 6 minutes and 33 seconds of watching snooker have I ever seen someone as great as this 🤣
They don't call him the Rocket for nothing! absolute legend
One minute into the game, and Ronnie wants to know what the prize is for a 147 break - how arrogant !!
. . . I love it 🥰🥰
Asking about the prize money after the first red then shaking his opponent's hand before he's potted the black is the absolute pinnacle of sh*thousery and I'm here for it. 😎
Why am i here, why is this so mesmerizing and how does youtube find these to recomend, always past midnight
Sameeeeeee
Wow! Talk about running a table. Grew up playing Snooker. Much more difficult than regular sized pool tables..lots more green to cover. Well done!
Damn. Like a boss.

O cara é um mostro parabéns.
Sou teu fã.
King's face is exactly mine when an opponent in 8ball pool breaks... And proceeds to pot every ball right after... We feel for you king... We know the pain
What a gentleman, he's so keen to make sure his opponents are comfortable and chilling in their seats.
Apart from all the shenanigans going on here, the sheer and utter technical brilliance of that break is just magnificent. I don't play snooker but I think I get how difficult it is, and to have that precision at such speed - with such speed of thought driving it - is just phenomenal. I agree with what Hendry said about Ronnie's fastest ever 147 - it's the best sporting thing I have ever seen.
