You are playing cue ball foul only. What is the rule for each situation:
1. You hit the cue ball. Nothing goes but you move a ball.
2. You hit the cue ball, nothing goes but you move 2 balls.
3. You hit the cue ball, nothing goes but you move a ball and that ball goes in a pocket. That pocket is not of either player.

Typically with these rules the opponent would replace the moved ball (or not) in #1. Two or more balls moved was a foul. Ball in the pocket refer back to #1.

Straight Pool remains the best game to practice! That's where you learn how to handle the cue ball. I used to practice when no one was around. I could run 30 to 40 balls pretty consistenly and occasionally 50 or more. My high run in practice was 63. Not so good but good enough.

It definitely helped my 9-Ball game and even moreso my One Pocket.

Good luck. I'm still waiting on the sandwiches I asked for 2 years ago.

I played a lot of bar table pool back then. A good night on a challenge table could yield $50-100. That was a very good days pay back then.

No two bars were the same and the tables played were different! Cue balls, lights, rails, etc. It took getting used too. I would watch carefully until it was my turn to play, learning all I could before I hit a ball. There was no warm up or time to practice. And if you lost you might have a long wait to play again.

You learn to play good from the get go! I was there to make money, not make friends. I was never satisfied until the last guy quit. I loved the feeling of going home with my pockets stuffed with bills. First thing when I got home was to put the money on the table and neatly unfold it, count it and put it away. Then I could go to sleep thinking good thoughts.

I NEVER stalled in bars. I gave them my best game. They all wanted to be the guy who beat me! And I rarely got any heat from anyone. I was friendly but very competitive. That's what worked for me.

14.1 is deader than Elvis. sure its popular in a few spots but overall is basically non-existent.

I only think of 14.1 as a practice/warmup method. The only time I see people playing it is by themselves.

If you're a 600 fargo and want to get up to 610 without having higher rated players in your league to play you need to win about 100 games in a row against the available field.

If on the other hand you need to quickly get down to a 590 for an upcoming capped event all you have to do is hang the nine ball about a dozen times playing 400 players in league play. You can get there in a matter of hours.

Your welcome!

FARGO. Don’t you mead FRAUD-O. I think it’s a lot of BUNK-O. I can’t imagine walking into a pool hall and asking someone “what’s your FARGO rating” before we put something in the middle.
