Snooker Misses
I love snooker and thought I understood the rules, but....
I’ve seen players play and miss, and a foul and miss has been called. The opponent can ask for the balls to be replaced. Sometimes it seems there is no limit but other times I’ve seen the player warned that if he doesn’t get it on his third attempt he’ll lose the frame.
What’s the difference, please?

I know full well i have missed the odd foul stroke because my line of sight was briefly interrupted. This has resulted in members of the 'wronged' team giving me the absolute sh it eye, even my own mates. However, a ref cannot call what he does not see - or perhaps hear. And, in those circumstances, the honesty of the players involved is a great help.
They sometimes cant see the object ball, It depends where the object ball is, if he can see it and chooses to miss it deliberately (normally so he doesn't disturb what he can see) thats classed as a deliberate miss. As answered below 3 deliberate misses on a ball you can see (or balls) then that frame is forfeited.
