i think pool is more fun, i find snooker takes more potting skill

I think pool is a better pub game, because you can still get the balls in when you're pissed.

It's quite simple really. The table is a lot smaller and the pockets (and the balls) are a lot bigger. So this was child's play for Jimmy. I played pool in America against the local hot shots and thrashed them. Then I ran away before they battered me.

I heard Ronnie O sullivan interviewed after he was knocked out of the world 9 ball championships a few years ago and he said that the difficulty wasn't any different to snooker, It was just different things were hard. He said something along the lines of. Its easy to pot in 9 ball because the pockets are huge, but you have a much smaller table/bigger balls so the accuracy of your positional play has to be more precise when playing snooker you can be 2 inches overun and it makes little difference

how bout this: A: snooker requires incredibly precise shotMAKING/potting. pool requires more defense and position play. B: ive never seen a comment where a pool player tried to claim pool was harder than snooker. C: there is no such game as "pool." there is 8 ball, 9 ball, 7 ball, 10 ball, one pocket, rotation, kelly pool, 14.1 straight pool...
