The Pool/Snooker Shark Cometh

[Formalhaut]

Well, it's the last day of the Snooker Masters, and I thought it'd be great to ask if any of my EoFF extended family also enjoy shooting some balls into holes.

There's two pool tables in my Sixth form common room, and while I'd hardly say I'm even close to becoming adept at it, I do enjoy it from time to time. So the question is: do you guys like playing pool/snooker, and how good are you?

I'm also aware it's also called Billards as well. Damn name differences.

[Futan]

Is that table huge or is that guy small? The proportions seem wrong... lol. But yeah. I enjoy pool. Fun stuff. Et cetera.

[Formalhaut]

Well a Snooker table is pretty massive, and Stephen Henry, I guess, is slightly on the short side so... yeah.

[Faris]

Love it and play it every chance I get (which is not often at all )! No, I'm not very good, but my opponents say otherwise. One day I'd like to own a billiard table.

The first time my father introduced me to a snooker table, I immediately sank my first shot. I have never attempted again, as I am reasonably convinced I could never replicate the occurance.

My dad was a bit of a pool shark in the 80s. His most hard-earned trophy was one featuring the nether half of a donkey, titled the "Hard Luck Award". He says it took quite a bit of effort to throw his game that thoroughly.

I love to play pool but I am terrible at it. I'm so bad that my several of my friends help me line up shots because they get frustrated for me.

[Parker]

I enjoy playing but I am awful at it. It doesn't help that the person I play with most of the time is very good.

There's a pool table at my house, but it's too big for the room it's in, so it's not exactly possible to play any serious games.

[blackmage_nuke]

I love pool, its the one sport I am any good at.

[Raistlin]

I enjoy pool, though I don't get to play often and so I'm not particularly skilled. The best that can be said is that I'm decently competent, and so at least don't make a fool out of myself (usually).

[Shorty]

I am terrible at pool, like I am at all other things in life. I enjoy playing, though.

[Formalhaut]

I am terrible at pool, like I am at all other things in life.

Don't say that Shorty! Your wonderful!

[NorthernChaosGod]

I enjoy playing pool every now and then. I'm okay, but not that good.

[Yar]

I'm getting better! My friends and I go about once a week. I'm not awesome or anything but I'm starting to win games.

I suck balls at pool, gradually getting better the more I drink until I'm just about at the stage of not being able to stand up properly half the time unless I use the cue as a balancing tool, by which time I am usually kind of hax. My main drinking buddy is a guy who loves his pool and has played for a bunch of local teams in the pub leagues down here and he always gets annoyed at how much better I get when I'm drunk. I don't think i've ever beaten him once when I was sober (that wasn't him potting a black on accident or something) but I've had him a few times when tanked. It's always pretty fun, though.
