I have been playing pool since i was 8 my dad taught me. 
A man named Jun was a pool player and he would do local write ups regarding the game.
Oh really i have never read his articles. I will check them out. 
Pool is played with cue and balls. The balls set on a velvet like surface.
Yes that is what you need to play. Normally people will play on a snooker table. 
You can have a costume made snooker table but it
I only have a pool table as i don't enjoy snooker as much. 
Billiard balls come with 2 cue balls. One ball is white and one ball is black. Each ball has a different purpose.
Yes they do. If you hit the black ball in before the last red ball has been hit you skip a turn.
They use a cue stick to hit the white cue ball. The cue ball will strike other balls and the goal is to get your ball in the pocket.
