  • speaking more than doing

    why u are setting near the table ?

    SPEAKING TOO MUCH 

  • @badenbrarrar in bars, or at bowling alleys you'll lose the set. In tournament play ball in hand. (Everywhere)

  • @jamesmichael123 in bars, or bowling alleys, that happends.

  • @BMWLDRider Nahhh, all top 3 pool games rock, us suck.

  • Eight ball sucks anyway....play straight pool.

  • the thing is there are so many diffrent variations on the rules.

    the uk rules are very diffrent to the us rules.

    if you have no line on your table though you have to imagine the line. and it would usually be a little behind the 2nd triangle. the same distance as the black spot really.

  • you loose if you scratch on the 8-ball no matter what

  • A QUESTION!!: If i shot the 8-ball and the cue ball going in instead of the 8-ball, its a scratch. so where does my opponent places the cue ball?

  • holy crap this is in Steinway. I play there all the time!

  • It depends on what rules you are playing. International rules say after a scratch the next player has ball in hand BEHIND THE HEADSTRING, and the object ball CAN be behind the headstring also, but the cue ball MUST cross the headstring before contacting it (so use a bank shot or some hard core masse to get it in if it's behind the headstring). Some people also play ball in hand on any scratch in 8-ball, just like in 9-ball pool... Hope that helped. :)
