You know, I never cared for the gambling side of pool but I've always found it interesting how other people have no problem putting up so much money on one player they are hoping will win. It literally makes no sense to me that those people would put up mid 5 figures. But hey, if they have the money to spend, whatever makes them happy right?

you gamble every day of your life for big money. you just dont bet really on yourself performing.

you buy car insurance which is a bet against the insurance company that you will damage your car and they bet you wont.
same with life insurance its a bet you make that you will die young.
same as buying a warranty on something. you are betting it will break and they bet it wont.

and all those bets are very bad bets for you monetarily, that you and most justify doing with faulty reasoning.

It's a free forum for you to use at the discretion of the owner and moderators.
A friendlier and more thoughtful approach in how someone approaches things can go a long way in resolving their issues.
Just food for thought.

This is comical bullshit…….why was my post deleted requires knowing what language you used?

Stop the crybaby bullshit and grow a pair……Boo Hoo……crocodile tears……just grow up and
go to a moderator or the House Pro. I’d just write to Cleiton Rocha, who’s the best moderator I’ve
seen since joining this website a long time ago. When you get a explanation, and Cleiton always
replies & you still think this is noteworthy to post about, I look forward to reading your new thread.

But right now all I see is a lazy, juvenile approach because you got upset your post was removed.

It might have been done in error or purposefully and you deserve to know why. Get off your ass and
go find out which you’ve been told to do and finally relented. I hope this entire thread gets deleted
until you find out if there is anything newsworthy and can return with a suitable topic and thoughts.
Sorry to be so blunt with you but my experience with this Forum is sugar coating gets you nothing.

those were the basic rules some areas of the country had slightly different ones. you have to go by whatever you choose. and works best.

One more, there is no such thing as 3 fouls is a loss of game, correct? It can't come up?

no 3 foul rule ever i can remember as with shootout you could just push out.

iusedtoberich said:

So a pocket scratch is BIH behind the line, with pocketed balls are spotted? And if the lowest ball is behind the line, it gets spotted #1 in the lineup on the spot?

Any other foul such as failing to hit the lowest ball or no rail, (2 in a row) is BIH anywhere?

when playing spotting balls yes. or sometimes played all balls down. which kept the games moving.

yes any two fouls/scratches in a row is ball in hand anywhere for the next player. you foul and then i foul you get ball in hand. anywhere.

so if i pushout or make any foul and you let me shoot and i foul you get ball in hand.
if you decide to take the shot and foul i get ball in hand.

all push outs are a foul or its a legit shot if it hits a rail. and no different is a pushout from any ordinary foul.

i'll take the expro, sent you a DM

it was always called dogging it if your game fell apart because of the money or score or whatever.

dan was one of the best at staying and playing hard to the end.

Vietnam is the place to go. Nobody watched the Philippine event. Not even the people from the Philippines. Germany my second choice.

The simplicity and static nature of always having 3 balls within the 2d playing surface is what makes the game so appealing, imo.

(Though I did jump the edge of a ball once and got the NO frown)

Carom games can use 3 or 4 balls and each player has his one cb for the whole game.

3balls is usually 3 cushion and 4 balls is usually straight rail.

Player must make his ball strike the other 2. In three cushion, one must strike the 2nd ball after contacting 3+ rails with cb to score. In straight rail, one must contact the 2 red balls without contacting the other player's cb with his own cb.

Super simple, infinitely complex.

No ball in hand, no hangers!

Usually is Incorrect in general!

'Korean' straight rail is played with 4 balls!
