I've played snooker a couple of times but the bumpers drive my crazy. It feels too much like pinball lol

How did I get interested in playing pool... It's hard to remember, now, but I think really it must have been because my best friend and I spent way too much time at bars in high school, and I hate sports so staring at the tv's wasn't an option. Plus it was always fun when some guys challenged us thinking we'd be an easy victory, and we trounced them. Hugely satisfying.
