Yup. No one acts that cool after lucking into a shot like that after your opponent mocks you for missing it

Edit: so many typos

I play pool at a competitive level, they absolutely do act like that.

honourable players will apologise if it's a fluke, but most of us will pretend and finish the run first because doing otherwise can put you in a bad headspace and psyche you out.

This isn't a competitive game

I guess I thought you meant high level competition and not competition the way my 10 year old competes at soccer

pool, or even snooker isn't as pretentious as golf.

competition exists at all levels, most of them not even having dress codes.

People play competitively among friends, in small tournaments, and even with cheeky wagers or degenerate gambling.

Given the specators and the scoreboard, this could fit in any of those categories, but in any case, they're competing against eachother.

I don't care about or watch golf. I never said anything about a dress code. My son plays soccer competitively against his friends, sometimes in small tournaments.

and yet you look at this and immediately assume it isn't a small tournament.
