I have won more playing poker than pool.
The former you don't have to be the best, if you can bluff.
You can't bluff playing pool....the ball goes in or it don't.
Keep in mind when you win at pool, unless you are in a tournament, it’s one on one wagering.
And when you compete, it’s usually a race to something requiring multiple games you need to win.
The amount you win is also fixed per match when you wager. So now let’s look at poker.
Generally, you are playing against 5-6 opponents at the same time every hand. In pool you just
need to win more games than your opponent. In poker, it’s not how many hands you play & lose.
It’s hands, # of hands you’re dealt and decide to play. Thereafter, you can win only a few hands
and walk away with most of the money whereas another player could win 3x as many hands as
you and walk away a big loser. Poker rewards differently because the pot size is never a fixed
amount like with a wager. Heck, you could be dealt 40 hands & only play 3-4 but win them all and
walk away the big $ money winner. You can’ t do this in pool so there really is little analogous
comparison of pool and poker. This is truly a nonsensical thread but others see it a little differently.
