A tad bit of information about pool:
The game of pool requires not only hours and hours of practice to develop your skill level, but also knowing which shots to learn to make you a more versatile player. Of course, knowing all the trick shots won't do you any good unless you can break properly and know how to strike and control the cue ball. By engaging a powerful, sledgehammer break, it increases your chances of sinking more balls and giving you an automatic leg-up in the game. This will allow you to utilize all those great trick shots you've learned. The hardest part of learning pool is to hit the cue ball properly. Once you can hit the cue ball where you want to, you can then send it to hit other balls and subsequently sink those balls into the pockets. Of course all of this is useless unless your pool table is straight and level. When installing your pool table be sure it is leveled correctly.

Pocket billiards, known to most by the name pool, was becoming more and more popular in England in the late 1800s and early 1900s, so gambling houses called pool rooms installed the tables as another form of entertainment. These rooms were called pool rooms because people would place bets into a common fund (a pool) that would pay out the winners. Obviously the billiards tables proved very popular. They ended up becoming the predominant entertainment at the gambling houses. Hence the name "pool room" came to refer to a place where you played pocket billiards, and therefore pocket billiards became "pool."
