Does anyone else find it annoying how many of the pay for play pool sites promote themselves as "free pool site" or with slogans like "play pool for free" when the entire thing they are trying to do is really get players to play for real money but they'd rather get you in there playing for free first and then try and convince you to play for real money on pool games instead?

I think it's much better when a site is a lot more up-front about what it's doing and that the free pool games are really only practice pool games getting you ready to play for real money.

I was playing on GameDuell as a practice player recently and was impressed that they spell it all out very clearly that the practice games are there for you to try the games before you play for real money against other pool players. They're not promoting themselves as a free play site, just trying to make sure you're aware that they would like you to deposit at some stage if you're playing on their site.

Good on them!
