Name a billiard game where an amateur has a chance against a pro

Not a chance in the world a BEGINNING player learns ANYTHING from such a matchup, except it was a terrible idea to think they had any chance at all.
Their "pool brains" cannot process what is going on.

And yes, this^^^^^^has nothing to do with the OP's question.
The beginner who is clever at games might learn something: It is pointless for them to try to run out. If they are going to win, it will be by slop. Send the one ball or the cue ball in the general direction of the nine. Wait for the dust to settle -- maybe something went in. Try to move the nine again. Maybe try not to scratch cause Efren does OK with ball in hand.
But I agree in general. Beginners are unlikely to learn anything except humility in a match like that.
dead on
This what we used to tell the suckers. Yeah you're the favorite playing kelly pool, 3 ball
draw for partners, etc. Since there is nothing going on lets all play one of these games
because anyone can win. Well surprise, surprise, the best player draws out and gets
all the cash. But next time one of you will win because as we all know it's a toss up.

I can't see how a pro wouldn't be heavily favored in Honolulu.
:sorry: Ok....a B player....if not a B+ Player, if not an A- player. I'm just trying to make a point, not looking to be Right or Wrong. This of all games Can Be handicapped, unless ya can't hit the end rail.:thumbup:

Gotcha...
The thread title asked "Name a billiard game where an amateur has a chance against a pro". He then went on to ask another question. My response was directed only towards the thread title, not his second question.
I'll gladly answer the second question, but handicapping and learning how to do this takes YEARS with wins/losses training your mind to understand, ''there ain't no simple'' answer in LIFE.

And I'll say it again since nobody seems to have been paying attention:
Mum pool satisfies the OP requirements. In fact strong players may be at a disadvantage since they have chalking totally ingrained. And Mike Sigel would have no chance against anyone.
