[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1087702, member: 58362"] I was going to touch on that, but got lazy. I think this inflates people's impression of him, it's easy to remember him banging in a 5 minute 7 second 147, but nobody's going to remember him losing in the first round on a wet Wednesday in a cubicle in Prestatyn. But what percentage of his career has been spent playing at that Tommy playing pinball (to borrow Steve Davis' phrase about Higgins) level? For me, he doesn't get a pass for his mental health problems. Everyone has to play the hand dealt to them, that's his. In a game in which mental strength is such an important attribute, it would have to be the biggest weakness in his game. [/QUOTE]
