Consider me an Idiot ............

I guess you guys aren't ready for one-pocket...
...I'm considering offering y'all two, hit, and the pick....
....and a hand span.



:D


Throw in a wild pocket and I'm ready to post

If that doesn't work, I'll take 2 on the wire in last pocket bumper pool.
 
I'm actually a little surprised...

typically when someone posts a question like this, he's reamed for not knowing something or told to use search or any number of douchebag comments.

I'm actually proud of my AZ family for just answering his questions without reaming him for not knowing...

Or even "two blocks of 4 or no-count", or maybe "2 & safe" or the much better "2 & stop", or maybe "the break & keep shooting till you miss".:):D.

One person stated if you have the 7 out you can make the 7, 8 or 9 "Anytime" to win. Does that include the break? The 7 or 8 could run pretty wild on a break and easily accidentally go in. Is it ethical to call that a win or are they just considered dead money balls, or are they spotted?

BTW
One sneaky thing I've seen players that offer this sort "handicap" often do is pocket the other players moneyball in a pushout after they break. Be aware of this if you start putting up dough against a good player. You may want to get some guidelines sorted out before you start playing.

I got some bad memories of giving 2 and stop....:mad:
...on the 5x10 snooker table when Gil owned the Rack.

If someone gives you the "7 out" then the 7,8 & 9 are wild money balls at all times, meaning anytime they go in on a good hit with no ensuing fouls you win.

Some players might stipulate the 7 & 8 are "called" money balls meaning you must call them before making them.

Some players might stipulate the 7 & 8 are "called" on the break but "wild" during the game.

If any player pockets another player's moneyball on a pushout after the break that moneyball spots up because it was made on a foul. You cannot eliminate moneyballs of an opponent by shooting them in on a foul shot. They always spot back up.

This. Would have rep'd you but it says I need to spread my love around.

I wish every question asked on here would go this way.

I'm not a one pocket player, I've never played the game. I've watched it played and understand the rules ( I think ). What is this 15 - 3 type stuff that I see?

Damn PT, you gave that up on a Snooker table? Were you playing Rosie?

ONB

Rosie was always surrounded by the 'Corporation'...never played him
although I won some side action.

The guy I played one pocket?
...robbed him at 9-ball
...robbed him at snooker

..he got it all back at one-hole....he was getting 10-8 also. :banghead:
 
Um, let's go!

two firm rules if we gamble...

a-You may NOT use the cue in your avatar...Wallabuska for you, buddy

b-You pay cash...I pay by check



Now, if you go for that...we gonna get along just FINE

House cues for both and the name on the check has to match your Passport. Lyn can hold the stake.

Why is making a ball on the push out a foul? Don't think I've heard that one before
 
Those were the days, if they couldn't beat ya, they'd join ya

The first time I gambled at 9 Ball I also didn't know what (weight) was. After beating my opponent by running 3 racks in a row (he was a road player from Columbia Mo) he ask me for some "weight"......I looked at him puzzled and said "what is weight?"

he didn't believe me.........

We later teamed up and he steered me around Columbia, St. Louis, Kansas City, etc

Those were the days, if they couldn't beat ya, they'd join ya. :thumbup:



Iam fairly new to the 9 ball scene so just wondering what does it meen when someone says ..." you got the 8 or the 7 or 6 or whatever" ???

Don't the rules say that anytime you do not hit the lowest numbered ball on the table it is a foul?

It's very simple anyway. Even playing Two-Foul 9 ball you cannot shoot the opponents money balls in (on a foul) without them coming back up.

It isn't a foul..

It wouldn't be a foul, but whether it came back up or not would depend on what was agreed to before hand. If it was agreed that money ball spots up made out of turn, then it spots up. If not, it stays down..

That's why it is so important to clarify rules when matching up.

uh... no...

no they don't say that failing to hit the lowest numbered ball on the table is a foul. Depending on the rule set, they usually say that with the EXCEPTION of a push, you must first hit the lowest numbered ball and then one ball must be legally pocketed or a ball must touch the rail.

The exception is always the push out, when anything can be shot. Typically, the money ball (9, in 9 ball) would be spotted while other balls stay down, so handicap balls being spotted back up would be a gray area and that should be agreed upon before you match up...
