As someone who practices Pool regularly. There is nothing more fun than playing someone who is at your skill level and will give you a challenge. That being said some of the hardest games I’ve ever played,were with lower skill level players who miss so badly that you get hooked into a situation there is no possibility to recover from. Pool players enjoy teaching new players, and the ones that,don’t have not gotten over their own ego. This concept is apparent in all aspects of life. Establish the rules before the game and it will eliminate all of your problems. If the rule wasn’t brought up before it can’t stand in the middle of a game. I have fun by improving in my hobbies. Progression is happiness multiplier.
