Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Snooker as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
Snooker has three meanings as related to cue sports. Snooker is, of course, the name of a popular type of pocket billiards played with 15 red balls and 6 balls of other colors, on a snooker table. Alternatively, snooker is a term that when used as a noun, refers to an instance of putting a player in a snookered situation. Snooker players can get out of a snooker through the use of a semi-masse shot or a kick shot. Jump shots may also be utilized where permitted as such that a foul will not result. Hook or hooked may also be used in this context to refer to the same situation. Snooker in this context also has extremely specific subtypes in the game of blackball. A third meaning of snooker comes when it is used as a verb. To snook someone is to leave them in a situation where his or her preferred shot on their next required object ball can not be directly played. This type of snooker could refer to a simple situation such as the object ball being partially blocked by another ball, or even the pocket's knuckle.
I love the game of snooker. It is my favorite.
Rob put Jeff in a difficult snooker situation. I wonder if he can get out?
