Pool

Pool is a sport introduced in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and featured in Grand Theft Auto IV. Two players can play pool and either players wins. The main goal is to get all the colored cues within the designated colors into the hole, then get the 8-Ball to win.

Objective (GTA SA)
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the player can meet up a person who is holding a pool cue, and challenge him. The maximum wager is $1000. The player then begins to play pool with him, and if either colored balls or striped balls gets into the hole, then the challenger will either get striped or colored balls. If either players may accidentally pockets the wrong cue, either players will lose a turn and then the player (who didn't pocketed the wrong cue) can move the white cue into the designated cue. If the player pockets most of his colored balls, which the object tells him/her to do so, will not be able to win by pocketing the 8-Ball. If the player pockets the 8-Ball, CJ wins some money. If the opponent wins, CJ loses the game and the money that the player waged.

If playing another player with the second controller connected, they can compete against each other, except they do not wager money.

Winning
The player wins the game on the following occasions:


 * The opponent accidentally pockets the 8-Ball.
 * The player manages to pocket all colored balls, as long as the objective says to do so.

Losing
The player loses the game on the following occasions:


 * The opponent gains the upper hand.
 * The player has accidentally pocketed the 8-ball without pocketing all of the main colored balls first.
 * The player pocketed the 8-Ball (if they have pocketed all either colored balls, where the object says to do so), but the white cue becomes pocketed as well.

Losing a Turn
The player/opponent loses a turn on the following occasions:


 * The player accidentally pockets the wrong color
 * The player accidentally pockets the white cue
 * The player hits the white cue, but too slow and has not hit any cue balls or rails
 * The player hits the cue balls, but has not hit any rails, because it went slow

Objective (GTA IV)
Pool can be played against friends, and also compete against a competitor, despite not being accompanied by a friend, but will not make any wagers.. The player may no longer wager money. Either player will win if they have pocketed the most colors and then the 8-Ball.

As titled above, it is somewhat the same as in GTA San Andreas, but a new foul is present if the ball jumps off the table, causng either opponents to lose a turn.
