Where does Annette fall in the 'greatness' debate? I don't know her background, and what she built her bankroll from (was she heavily bankrolled before she started?).
She's certainly one of the 'in-form' players over the past few years. A phenomenal talent, made all the more impressive due to the fact she's so young, and (dare I say it?) female.

Apparently she started from a freeroll and never deposited anything. As for a great I personally believe she has the potential but a great isnt born overnight and needs to perform for a good many years to prove that they arent a flash in the pan.

as for great snooker players, If Ronnie makes a 147 here to win 9-8 I might have to give in.

to my mind a great has to win over a number of years. She's had a great live year and few years on the net but needs to win when people have adapted to her game, she's had to change hers etc etc.. Certainly a potential great |

She has played more donkaments than Stu Ungar and Doyle Brunson put together in her lifetime, so flash in the pan is a bit of myth. As for greatness, hmm im not sure i don't like to use the word lightly. |

Greatness usually comes after a player has retired/died. |

To be honest how can you say who is the best footballer or boxer or athlete or whatever. You can pick out great people but to distinguish between them is often meaningless.

I agree. Although if Batman had a pocketful of kryptonite he'd be laughing. |

Im not buying all this table selection and bankrol mgt as contributing factors to a players "greatness". The ability to beat the best is what matters.
