After missing the WPBSA one which was won by Sourav Kothari (here http://world-billiards.com/?p=14088), Pankaj Advani is back at the IBSF championships in Myanmar to win some tin pot world titles. He's already got the 150-up, next up is the long format and the snooker.

Do you play Billiards Kolompar?

Must say I have wasted more time in snooker halls than I care to mention but have never seen billiards.

I have seen snooker variations like 'crash' and 'golf' but never billiards.

Is it enjoyable?

It's not a bad game but I'm not really a fan. Just following Advani's adventures.
I'm surprised you aren't familiar with it as I thought you aren't young and the older generation seems to know it. But it's really just old people playing it now, look at the players here. 12 out of 37 are under 40 and only 2 under 30.
That probably means around 30 more world titles for Advani.
