Wow. I'm stunned someone actually feels this way about One-Pocket.
To the OP: I had many questions about 1-Pkt 6 months ago.
I found a local player who showed me the ropes, explained the strategies and played the game with me for two weeks....
... Now I think 1-pkt is the best game played on a billiard table! It's addictive, challenging, just like chess and will make you scream in joy and despair.
Have you watched a 8 or 9 ball match and correctly predicted how the player is going to play each shot? Pretty boring, right?
Get your hands on a few 1-pkt matches, like this match posted by a fellow AZB member on YouTube between Alex and Frost...., or this incredible comeback match between Reyes and Deuel and predict their shots....
While you are being blown away, pay attention to what the commentators say about how they would play the shot and watch how the player actually shoots it, then compare both to your predicted shot.
How would you play the first shot after your opponent's opening break? How often did your prediction match their shot?
Check out the videos, find a 1-pkt player willing to school you, play the game a few weeks then report back and let us know if you agree with dom_poppa or me.
