The no-pockets version is French Billiards

  Ah, didn't know that. For me while growing up in India, Billiards was synonymous with the English version.

      Snooker is played on an English billiards (usually just known as "billiards" in Commonwealth countries) table.

      As the sibling comments mentioned, while snooker is also played on the English billiards table, it is a different game. Snooker is played with 21 colored balls which must be pocketed in the correct order. Billiards is played with 3 balls, 1 white per player (one has a black dot and the other doesn't) and a red ball. Billiards table is bigger than the American Pool tables.
