In US English, the OO in poor is a short OO (but nearly a long OO or long U) as in tour (OU) or sure (silent E).
The OO-R combination produces a separate rhotic sound that when extended produces a poo-uhr sound. So a short OO is seen in sure, while a long OO is seen in sue and sewer.
The long O would be seen in pore (rhymes with core). The word pour may be pronounced the same as either pooror pore.
