Yes, i am looking for a full, good, explanation of physics of pool and how to implement it in a game. I searched it on the Internet, came up nothing useful. Do you know any good resources for this? A book or a website. A brief info on circular collision detection might be useful.

Circular collisions?
Distance <= (radius*2) then you got collision

I was just about to post that I had figured it out already. Thanks anyway.

This article on gamasutra (free registration) is quite helpful for pool implementations:
