8 ball last pocket

Don't think last pocket 8 ball is anything special, it's just playing position and a bit of 1 pocket strategy if needed. Straight 8, same thing, just shit rules. Any good player can play them as well as any "specialist". Once you get into a competent player level, the gaffe games don't pose much of an issue to them. I played a few Hispanic people in NJ recently that wanted to play last pocket 8 ball, I won as many games in that as in regular 8 ball, including several break and runs. Now if we are talking about bar table play with a heavy cueball, there are a few known great players at that who could be considered better than others.
1-15 is the best 8-ball game.
The little change so that you have to make your 1 (or 15) in your side pocket about doubles the complexity of the game.

Ok. Bar table 8 ball it is. Who's the best?

Too many coin flip match ups in the States. The "Shane defense" will be an excessive race length.
