Answer 4

I dont think it's actually more popular but basically an ex snooker player plays pool because it usually requires less mental toughness than snooker as the games are shorter and there are less balls to pocket in pool. Pool matches are more exciting though. Snooker is exciting when ronnie osullivan play.

Answer 9

Because it's a lot easier, and they develop a gambling habit. The backrooms at Pool competitions are where the real money is at, much more so than snooker. The real addicts go straight to the Poker competitions without passing go.

Steve Davis has never looked very interested at the pool-table. This is a man who played the world's best Pool player (Mizerak) credibly. And is the world's greatest snooker player. But he keeps playing even though he needs neither the fame or the money.

Popularity wise it's evenly divided, half the world's countries don't have a pool table the other half don't have a snooker table.

(Bar Billiards tables have never counted as anything)
