I used to be fairly good and enjoyed it....Was one of my after hours pastimes in Saigon because we had a curfew. However, I lost money playing 9 ball for quarters. It was a lot of fun and a good way to pass the time. Would love to play snooker sometimes. I watch the champship games on Eurosport. They are Awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I haven't lost any money playing pool, but I have won some:P I played my friend for £5 and I beat him, I knew I was gonna beat him because I'm way better than him, but he has beaten me before so he thought he was in with a chance.
Snooker. Trust me this game is wayyyyy harder than pool. The table is almost double the size (12 x 6) compared to a 7 foot pool table. And the pockets are smaller. I found this game so hard. In fact, I got bored playing it because I hardly put any balls in. If you play snooker in a smaller sized table, then it is easier though.

What a nice response. Thank you so much. Yes, I am aware that snooker is harder and more complicated. However, since I already know how to play 8 ball and 9 ball I feel that snooker would be a nice challenge if I had the opportunity. I also forgot to mention that I love to see the "Trick" Championships. The are beyond description and believe. How I envy them.....Have a nice day!

i used to be really good, making shots i didn't think were possible, but i haven't played in a long time, and practice is something that goes hand in hand with pool, if you stop playing, you forget, right now i'll give myself a 5/10 but i used to be atleast a 7.5 before.

Wow, that is really cool. What were the tournaments like? Were they local, regional, or even national? Did you get a prize, maybe some money perhaps? Whatever you got, you should do more tournaments. It sounds like you are a good player. I am yet to test myself in tournament conditions, perhaps I will give it a try in the summer when I have some free time.

I think i am average on pool, but sometimes i can still beat some guys..lol...
I would rate myself 7, I had once got 9 balls in a row..
But i think you need a lot of luck in playing pool, I like snooker more because it requires more technique than pool.

Oh man, I am terrible at pool! My friends always want me to play but I am so bad I won't play in public. If one of my friends has a pool table in their house I consider it. I am so bad it's embarassing. I guess if I practiced more it wouldn't be so bad. I hate to lose though so instead just stay away from the game.
