Any good at snooker? At school I used to play pool occasionally, and was very mediocre. But at least I read a book and knew what I was supposed to be doing.

Then a bud of mine and I decided to check out one of the serious snooker/pool halls in town - no booze, no music, no loving around allowed.

Holy poo poo. Snooker tables are loving HUGE (6' x 12'), which means that they have around 80% more surface area than a regulation tournament pool table (I believe), and are probably about twice the size of the lovely coin-operated tables in bars. AND the pockets are tiny. We played for two hours without clearing the table. Repeated that a couple of times and then gave up.

Is there any sort of cross-over between players, or do you play one game or the other? Compare and contrast, please.

edit: ever had to repo any tables or $3k cues?

There's a whole subforum for financial stuff, so I'm sure you'd be much better served over there.

I don't want to derail, but Vegas gets mentioned a lot in this thread, so I thought people might be interested in this A/T thread:

Guy works at one of those high-end hotel nightclubs and apparently helps visiting goons out with Vegas nightlife and poo poo.

I play situational poker so sometimes the cards don't even matter.

I was going to ask about this. Does it matter what cards you get if you are a good player?
