Dialogue:
Packie: You alright Niko boy?
Niko: Sure. How you doing?
Packie: As long as I don't think about things, fantastic!
Niko: Sometimes, I think that is true for all of us.
Packie: Sure - I reckon it is - maybe that's why the world is divided into the drunk and the miserable?
Niko: Maybe.
Packie: Although my dad was both - drunk and miserable. Right fucking idiot.
Niko: I'm sorry about that.
Packie He messed the whole fucking family up, I reckon. I used to think I loved him, then I realized I hated him. Drunken bastard. Fuck him.
Niko: Has he been dead long?
Packie: Yes, but not long enough. I wish he'd been drowned at birth, got rid of the lot of us.
Niko: You're not very cheerful today.
Packie: No... I'm sorry. Happy thoughts, puppies and little girls smiling and clowns and all that shit.

Pool is a sport in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV. Two players can play pool and either player wins. The main goal is to get all the coloured balls within the designated colors into the holes in the table and then get the 8-Ball to win. Pool was first seen in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, however, it could not be played by the player. It was only until GTA San Andreas that pool could be played by the player.

Overview
Pool can be played against friends, or against a competitor when not being accompanied by a friend. The player may not wager money.
As in GTA San Andreas, the pool cue is obtainable as a weapon in The Lost and Damned after completing a round of pool.
Winning a game of pool will grant the player the achievement "Pool Shark".

Rules
The rules are the same as in GTA San Andreas. However, there are a few new items:
If the ball jumps off the table, the offending player loses a turn.
If the 8-ball jumps off the table, the game is lost.
If you pocket a ball or balls on the break, you can continue with your choice of stripes or solids, regardless of the ball type you pocketed. The same is true if the first shot when you pot any balls include both types of ball.
If you pocket the 8-ball on the break (the first shot of the game), you win.

Locations
In the Homebrew Café.
In Playboy X's Penthouse.
At the Lost MC Clubhouse, in the episodes only.
In Comrades Bar. (non-playable)
Table Type
There are two different types of pool table in GTA IV:
The green pool table of Homebrew Café (and Lost MC Clubhouse in TLAD)
This pool table with a ragged surface, which make the balls rolls with strange path sometimes.
The pink pool table of Playboy X's Penthouse
This pool table has a better surface quality than the green table, however with a chance let the balls bounce off the table if the player shoots too hard. This is more realistic though due to that.
Glitch
There is a glitch when playing the game on the Xbox 360 and PS3. If you miss a shot, press LB/L1 before the opponent's turn. Then press A/X to get back into the game (pressing LB or L1 again will forfeit the game). The opponent will hit either your or their ball and will foul for hitting the wrong color ball, even if it's theirs. It'll then be your turn, and you're allowed to position the cue ball.
