Hmmm, wonder if that's where "I've been snookered" came from? :)

Definitely - it means "I have been blocked" in effect.

Update:

No builds today #WindowsInsiders

In terms of ball skill, having snooker experience helps. However most people only play "bar rules" in pool e.g. you carry a free shot and only get on shot on the black, or variants of this.

League Rules (World Pool 8 rules) are much more sophisticated e.g. either the cue ball or an object ball must hit a cushion if you do not pot a ball, you can do combination shots ie pot your ball and the opposition's ball eg to free up a blocked pocket.

On any foul shot, you can return cue ball to baulk etc.

This make REAL Pool a much more tactical game - you have to use any free shot immediately or lose it if you pot your own ball, so you always have to think how to use your free shot.

Make a single mistake and you get punished.

I have played many young lads who are better potters than me in league rules, and beaten them simply due to better tactics.

You are right, I used to play many games at my favorite Bar but that all ended the day I said "I Do"

MacOS sucks, life sucks occasionally, international news suck mostly. But: Friday never sucks!

My attention is turned mostly toward Skippy, other one is only bug bashing anyway and works fine as it is.

When retired, it doesn't matter which day it is.
