Snooker Lucre 2

If you followed my first round tips you'll have enjoyed a roller coaster ride which looks like finishing on a high (phew)

Anthony Hamilton 10-3 Marco Fu
Whoops. Blaming a bout of flu and contriving to lose 3 consecutive frames on the black when it looked like he might launch a comeback, Fu capitulated.
Barry Hawkins 9-10 Fergal O'Brien
O'Brien put my tips back on track despite allowing Hawkins to get back from 9-6 down to 9-9 before finally clinching victory.
Stephen Lee 7-10 Mark Selby
Bizarrely Selby allowed Lee to go into a 5-0 lead before he started playing properly as Lee tired.
Allister Carter 7-2 Andy Hicks
Not quite all over yet, but Carter should ease over the line today to complete 3 out of 4 for the tips, and a small profit.

Second round starts today with the best two players in the world (O'Sullivan, Robertson) facing each other later in the round. In the early tranche of matches there is 1 huge value bet.
Ian McCulloch v Anthony Hamilton
The bright side about Fu's defeat is that it gives us another chance to oppose Hamilton. McCulloch is a strong player fresh from a great victory over Dott in the first round and should easily avenge our first round loss.
Current odds on Betfair 1.78 - My fair odds 1.21 or less.
