when you tell the guy he has ball in hand but he just shoots it from where it is because ball in hand is for wussies

3 foul in 8 ball?

i dont think you have to worry about that

I’m not trying to change the rules, just stating that there’s no reason not to play the ghost with safeties if you want to practice them.

i think what you are saying would be true for a good player, which i am not! Even a blind squirrel gets an easy layout every once in a while though

this was my exact response. can you explain why its a bit off? In any given set against the ghost i stand to lose between 2-10 and 0-10, so 1/10 seemed a reasonable answer (10%). if i sit and played 20 games with no bih i might get out once, so 5%.

congrats to fedor. Bold move

As a high estimate, 5% b&r, 10% on the bih ghost. I dont have a fargo.

Commentators constantly pronounce it “you-zish-in” like musician

Thats very gracious of you. i would like to be a one pocket player but most of my experience is playing the ghost or 8 ball players. I used to skip watching it thinking it was boring, but after getting in to it all of a sudden watching 9 ball seemed boring. best game there is, i hope to find...

sorry that was not my intention. i wasnt trying to slight hunter, moreso just that i think your opponent reffing is a crummy rule.

seems the rule should be to have a ref called over to watch the shot if he was hoping for a foul. he was beaten, barring some miracle, and he knew it. if scott did touch the ball then it is a foul, but i wouldnt be very happy to win a match this way. However rules are rules and if the sitting...
