Let's just say I've tried to play snooker. The Cue Ball has a snooker table. Usually taken up by guys playing "golf" for 25 cents per point. There was where Sgt. Don Malarkey of "Band of Brothers" fame liked to hang out. He played pretty sporty well into his 80's. A loser like me quickly figured out that those quarters add up quickly. Hate those round cornered pockets...no pocket cheating allowed, which is a useful part of pool.

BBC put out a series of 4 fun shows...Ronnie O'Sullivan, the British snooker god, touring various USA cities, "Hustling" pool. Where good pool pros get Ronnie is the break shot, which is not as important in snooker. In the Memphis episode, he played Johnny Archer. Archer made the comment: "I see you break better than the last time we played." A sneaky reference to when Johnny steamrolled Ronnie in the IPT pool tournament.
