Pool versus Snooker

Pool is a sport which is much more attuned to today's quicker, faster unorganized world than the more organized world of snooker. Our goals remain the same: personal prosperity (potting the balls) and the infrastructure of the world (the table) is smaller and more accessible. As with the world, pool games are played at a faster speed, the rules are fewer, innovation rather than strategy much more important. The entry barriers are lower: people who have not played pool or snooker before can pick up a short pool cue and have a go and pot something.

New beginners could be playing snooker a long time before they pocket a ball. The start up costs for the pool equipment are lower, and the ease of carrying around a pool cue greater.

With its smaller table and wider pockets, pool is like technological capitalism, giving its players both the opportunity and the opportunity to pursue that opportunity.

The image of the pool player in the movie "The Hustler" contrasts with that of the gentleman in his country mansion playing snooker. As someone once said, "The best things come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle". Rack up those pool balls, and play on, play on.
