Is there luck in Pool...Yes.
The better you get at the game...the less lucky you are.
1 - Becuase you miss less so you have less opportunity to get lucky
2 - When you do miss...you miss deeper in the hole so the ball is less likely to go in antother pocket....more likely to hang in the pocket for an easy shot to your opponent.
3 - If your opponent lucks in a kick shot....you did not play a good enough safe....it is your fault...You allowed them to get lucky
4 - Same goes for the break unless it was via a won coin toss.
When you learn how to win when you are not getting lucky and when you are playing below your best game......That is when you know you are a good player. :wink:
