Pool or snooker?

Had a long discussion with a friend of mine yesterday with regard to both pool and snooker. He only plays pool while I am oklah at both. He insists that pool is a much tougher game compared to snooker. His reasoning? According to him, when he plays pool, he is always a "little high"(In his own words) or completely drunk altogether! Good reasoning, I thot!!!!! And then he adds, on top of that, since pool tables are always in bars, he has to use one eye to concentrate on pretty women around the pool table!!! That leaves him with just 50% sight on top of being "High"! I said ok, you win! Can't argue with that!

I happened to catch the Asian pool League that was shown on ESPN recently. It was good but what amazed me was the prize money. The champion walked away with USD15,000 and there are 9 legs covering 5 mths. The one I caught was in Genting and it was the 3rd leg. The same guy had also won the first 2 legs. He won USD45,000 in 5 weeks! Compare that to badminton where the average prize money for the Men's singles champion in the Super Series is just USD12,000! So why sweat and toil and risk injuries playing badminton earning so much less?? Might as well play pool, drink beer, ogle at women and earn more! Amazingly, the women players in pool earn as much as the men, but only in the States. And they look really good, too!

So dads and moms out there, time to consider pool as a career choice for your kids!
