[edit] Biography

Michael Holt is a professional snooker player from Nottingham, England. He has reached the quarter finals of two ranking tournaments to date.

In the 2005 World Snooker Championship, he beat his friend Paul Hunter in the first round. In the second round he faced Steve Davis, losing 13-10 after having led 2-8. For the tournament he auctioned the sponsorship space on his waistcoat on eBay; Nottingham nightspot Cabaret purchased this.

Analysis of his body language at the 2006 World Championships found apparent flaws in his attitude and temperament. Holt finds it difficult to re-focus after playing a bad shot. This can lead to dips in form that may last for two to three frames. He appears to need confidence to achieve his best results. He has lost frames in games for his conduct as a result of his temperament.

On a similar theme, he is given the nickname The Hitman due to his penchant for hitting the table in anger. This once resulted in a broken knuckle. He also DJs in Greece as a hobby during the close season.
