Answer by rashell_kitts
Pool and billiards pretty much the same thing… Snooker is a game of strategy u get points for certain balls that u make. Pool (Billiards) has several different games that falls under that category such as 8 ball, 9 ball, straight pool, banks. Snooker is played on a special table that is 10′ in length instead of a 8′ or 9′ pool table.

regardless of potting, if he touches with his cue the:
red/yellow/green/brown = ball 4point foul
