Played both semi professionally for a long time up untill 8 years ago . Bow ties , sponsorship , tournaments etc etc etc .
Both are skillful games that require dedication to reach the top level .
At league level , both are pretty dire , being one frame matches , with Snooker needing a little more dedication .
Don't miss league pool at all . Nothing but drunken arguments and delusions of grandeur . Gets a bit more respectful at County level and above , but not untill you reach International level does it ever become truly gentlemanly .
Some of the better pool players are also great Snooker players and vice versa .
At the end of the day though , anyone can enjoy pool without having to put much effort in , but Snooker definitely needs dedication .
