Snooker is Pool for the mind
Pool is a great game though, just simplified

Not sure how people would get hurt playing a normal game of Pool, if so, you would seem to be playing with rather aggressive people

Snooker tables much bigger
Pockets smaller
Balls must be potted in a particular sequence (red, colour, then colours potted in order of value)
Red balls are worth one point and each colour from 2-7 with the black being the highest. You score points by potting red/colour/red/colour until you have more points than you can still score on the table (red balls stay in pockets) or until you clear the table

The skill involved is insane when it comes to cueball positioning, safety etc.

Pool for the mind is a good way of putting it.

This is a maximum break of 147 points basically the perfect frame of snooker:

The final starts today lads.

Selby vs The Match Fixer

World Championship 2017: Mark Selby will play John Higgins in final - BBC Sport

I feel bad for Ding, he got close and is a very likeable player. Ding will be back next year I'm sure. Backing Selby.

Congratulations to Ronnie O'Sullivan on major #19. Now officially the greatest snooker player ever.

My uncle died from a brain tumor. Your arbitrary search for attention hit home for me right there.
