My table, my rules. Don't like it? Kick rocks. ;-) That being said, anywhere else (pool hall, bar, etc) the 8 ball is NOT neutral. At least I've never seen or heard that. But, if I make the rules at my table, those are the rules. 99.9% of the time, I'm playing with a few friends. I rarely play people I don't know. Most of my friends all have their own table, me included. But, if someone new comes along, the rules are stated before the game. We always play last pocket, that's our game. When we play, the 8 ball isn't neutral, hit it first, take it to the kitchen and shoot- no ball in hand. That's for 9 ball.
