Last night, I was playing in my 9 ball league and a 3 Foul rule question came up. Here's the scenario:
I played a safe with 7 balls on the table and my opponent kicks and hits the correct ball and luckily leaves it where I can't hit it.
I fouled and gave him ball in hand. (1st foul)
He decides to skim off the ball and put me back where I was knowing I couldn't hit the ball again.
I hit into the pack of balls trying to loosen them up so he couldn't do that to me again. (2nd foul)
He comes to the table and pockets 2 balls with ball in hand and then turns to me and says I'm on 2 fouls and gets ready to play another safe!
I told him that once he pocketed a ball legally I wasn't on 2 fouls any more!
Am I right or was I still on 2 fouls after he shot 2 balls in?
Thanks in advance.
