You don't understand how Pool.com operates. They, and their registrar network, target expiring domain names based on expressions of interest from a "pool" of customers. If the Pool network is successful in registering the domain name, it is assigned to the winner of an auction among those customers who initially wanted to register the domain name. Pool is not registering domain names for "itself" - it is indeed registering domain names in response to requests received from prospective registrants. The problem is that you are so gung-ho to go after the domain name (which you failed to pick up via Snapnames), that you aren't waiting to find out who it is that wins the assignment process.
The presence of this question on Icannwatch underscores the growing disconnect between people who knew "how things worked" four or five years ago, and people who know how they work today.
Pay attention. The ball moves.

I understand what "pool.com" says they do, and some of what they actually do. It looks like what they actually do is that they have an arrangement with a registrar to allow them to register names without providing registrant data. This would appear to violate the ICANN Registrar Agreement,
section 3.7.
