It can be really hard to deal with playing against a pool player that is a lot better than you are. I would know, I've done it a fair few times before.

If a pool network is doing its job correctly, better pool players should be playing against each other through some form of rating system e.g. like number of games played or number of games won at a certain level.

Even though this should happen invariably you will find yourself matched against someone who is manifestly better than you are and it's a frustrating experience.

I'm interested in hearing if anyone has come across a pool network that doesn't rate better pool players very well so you always end up playing the best of the best in the network?
