And "normal" is what?

Anyway, snooker is by far the most entertaining to watch, I've never tried it but would very much like so.

Am I mistaken in thinking that the name of the thread should be "Your favorite billiard game?" ? Isn't 'pool' only the American version, with the 9-ball and the 8-ball type of games, while snooker is not a pool game, but it is indeed a billiard game, as all games of this type are?

Obviously I pick 9-ball. So much more skill in ball positioning (aka "cueing"), so much more pressure not to scratch, so much better safeties being made. only downside is when a noob wins after you put the majority of the balls in :X
