So Mark ‘I’ve got a massive gambling problem’ King takes an unscheduled break half way through a frame..

Interesting
 
Have you heard Shaun Murphy's rant about amateurs playing in tournaments?

I'll give you the highlights:

He's saying this is how he puts food on the table. WT actual F! If he hasn't saved enough money by now to do that he is about as good with cash as Everton...

My view on it is that a professional should be good enough to beat an amateur unless something fluky occurs. You don't hear the golfers complain.

I think his argument is that the amateurs have no pressure so it's a lose-lose situation for the pro. Also, the fella who beat him is decent and should be pro, but isn't.

I can see both sides of the argument, but he needs to accept that the rules allow it.

Shaun is not a barely surviving just inside the top 100 that might have an actual point saying something like that though.

He regularly beats the best players so he should be used to pressure day in, day out. That smacks of 'I thought I was going to turn up and almost get a walkover to get to round 2 or whatever to bank X number of thousands' which is the wrong attitude.
