Hardest (popular) Pocket Billiard Games?

Rotation is the most difficult game, with a combination of complexed position play and difficult shot making. One pocket is the only game that compares in difficulty, because of the safety play.
 
I assume this means "hardest to play well - hardest to become a professional"---- and for that I chose snooker. For me, I find it's the hardest to get a big run or "break."

I agree with you there. The player can never let up on his concentration. That's why it's so difficult to run more than a rack or two. The pressure is always on, and it can be very exhausting.

Multiple choice, you can pick more than one...Of the games (listed) that you've played, which ones did you find most challenging?

For me...for some reason, 9 ball is harder than 10 ball (maybe because there's more defense in 10)

I haven't played Snooker or Cribbage on that list.

The easiest games for me are 8 Ball, 14.1, one pocket, and pyramid...my favorites (funnest for me) are 14.1 and one pocket...working on my 9 Ball game lately.

Happy shooting!

i voted one hole, 14:1, and snooker. you have to be on it to win those games. most people have an idea how to play 8 ball, and in the rotation games like 9 and 10 a banger can get lucky and catch a few good rolls but the games i mentioned you have to really be aware of what's going on. i am not that good at one pocket or straight pool but when i've played against weaker players who don't get it, i've cleaned thier clocks. you can't hit hard and you have to play smart. and those things alone shut alot of people out of those games.
