One spelling covers uses with very different grammar. With an object it means combining resources, and it can turn passive: the funds were pooled. Without an object it usually describes liquid collecting, as when rain pooled in the gutters, and that use has no passive. A second intransitive use means joining with others in a shared venture: the neighbors pooled to buy a boat.
