A pore is a little hole in a surface that lets gases, liquids, and microscopic elements through. The surface might be your skin (think of all those clogged pores suffered through in teen years) or something else, like a filter:

Meanwhile, players pore over Polaroid photographs during breaks or wait as officials measure out first downs using sticks attached to chains. (New York Times)

On the other hand, to pour is to flow, like when you pour yourself a glass of water while it pours down rain.Usually an inanimate object is poured, but people can pour, too:

The donations began pouring in on Thursday, many of them delivered electronically and accompanied by politically tinged comments. (New York Times)

Within seconds, other heavily armed cops are pouring out the car, guns drawn, to surround the now disabled jet. (Time)
