D Bag pool move.

There is NOTHING wrong in taking an intentional foul in eightball. Quite the opposite. Eightball is a game of strategy.

Yes, it should be done by touching the cueball by the tip of your cue, but WTF is this nonsense about this here being a douche move. Taking an intentional foul is basic 8ball strategy, no matter if it was a friendly game or for real.

Now, bragging about your great strategy afterwards, particularly after the shot, that's an other thing.

But in any case, there is some serious need for balls in this thread.


There is nothing wrong with this neither. If someone wants to play a game without tactics, then they can go and flip the coin for ****'s sake.

it was not the move , it was the lil speech afterwards. well according to what i comprehended from blue hogs op.

I agree. Intentional fouls are very strategic. If they struck a ball other than the cue ball first in order to tie balls up, then I'd call them a douche bag.

While I do realize it's a legal move in the rulebook,having your opponent simply pick up the cueball after you've played a great lockup safety strikes me as a chickensh*t move. Touch the cueball with your tip,pretend to try something without hitting anything,put one of my balls in a worse position,ANYTHING!

My opinion on this is...In a foul on all-balls tournament, I'd rather my opponent just pick the cue ball up and hand it to me. If he/she just touched the tip to a clustered-up cue ball...then you might commit a foul trying to pick it up yourself (assuming there was no referee to pick it up for you).

IMO...picking up and handing a cue ball to someone is no more chickensh*t than hitting the cue ball straight into a pocket (or not hitting anything at all on the table)...but it does save time!!!

never just hit the cue ball straight in a pocket. mainly because i still got some bar banger mentality in me. hated when a guy scratched on purpose with me being on the 8 ball sitting in the kitchen. all ways thought that was a douche bag move. lol

8-ball is SUPPOSED to spot in that situation.

Well, if it was a serious game, I'd call them the loser of the rack in that situation. If a friendly game, I'd call them a douchebag, very loudly, and then we'd have another beer and have a laugh about it.
