    I'm not very good, but I enjoy watching it on TV once in a while. Not a loyal fan though.

    Billiard is a harder game, but I find it boring... I love playing pool... It's a great game to be able to meet people... You can travel anywhere in the world, go to a bar/club with a pool table and meet some nice friends who can show you around town.

    Generally people who play pool are 'easy' going. Not always, but generally they are... That's my expierence anyway... I always look for the pool table when I'm travelling around and am new in town and don't know anyone... I'm bound to meet a friend (most of the times lady friends) by the end of the night... It's a great game

    I love playing 8 and 9 balls and I'm Ok at them, but not very good at snookers. Snooker is the hardest to play in my opinion.

    However, what is different between billards and pools anyway?

    My fave professional pool player would be Mike Immonne (if I spell his name correctly), and female would be the Janet Lee (seems like she couldn't get pass either Karen Corr or Allision Fisher to win the tittle again)
