When I first started (0) PLAYING (PLAY) snooker, I had no real 1KNOW of the rules and just thought it looked like an 2ENJOY game. Also, I didn't need to buy any expensive 3EQUIP because the snooker hall near my house had tables and I spent 4PRACTICAL all the free time I had practising, and then decided to enter a 5COMPETE. It was great fun! My 6OPPOSE was someone who'd been playing for years. Of course, he beat me, but the fact that I'd 7LOSE didn't put me off at all. And, 8FORTUNE my game improved enough for me to become a professional snooker player three years ago.
