anyone think this would be fun. both players put up 50 and the first one to win 3 in a row gets the cash. i've been thinking about trying this out. it could be pretty fun. getting to two and then getting knocked back down to 0.

what do you guys think?

I think it needs some mechanism to keep it from going on indefinitely. Yes, sure, you can say that someone will get tired (or bored) enough to finally lose 3 in a row, or just quit and forfeit - but that's not a very interesting way to go about things.

Now - you didn't specify WHICH game you would be playing under this scenario...but assuming you are talking about 8-ball, you could go with your rule until someone gets to 10 games. After that, rather than 3 games ahead, you could play for 10 balls ahead - for example. After 20 games, you could reduce it to 5 balls ahead. After 30 games - it's whoever is ahead by the 40th game.

Personally, I can't play 8-ball or 9-ball for more than about 6 or 7 games before I get insanely bored anyway. So count me out (:

i'm talking about 9 ball. a 2 pack and a 9 on the break or an easy combo could end it real quick. i don't see this going on longer than an hour, even with c players doing it. that's why i figured it should be to 3 and not 4-5.

i hardly see anyone playing 8 ball for the dough

8-ball or 9-ball bores you after 6 or 7 games? Practicing must put you in a coma.:boring: What keeps your woody up?

With a handle like that he probably knows how to move the rock.

Well, as long as it's fresh. If he lets it sit out too long it probably gets pretty nasty.

Well, I'm willing to negotiate. What number would you like to hear? 5? 10? 23? 142? Help me out here.

if your high run was really 1 then you wouldn't really be a pool player. you'd just be some chump that likes to pretend he can play. you don't wanna say what it is just say you don't wanna say

Well, with a high run of 1, it would be pretty hard to pretend one can play. However, that's not necessarily exclusive of LIKING to play anyway.
