its all about positioning.
ive played with extremely accurate players, but their positioning isnt the best.
on the long run, they will loose.
dont play too hard, make simple shots while having the next shot or two in mind.
and no, snookering in pool isnt gay.
if you dont have a shot, go for a snooker.
breaking is also very important,
practice ALOT on breaking, see how different angles work out, and go with the one you think is the best.
