Texas Express lives....SPF=randyg
Oops, made the cardinal sin of using the word "Texas" in a not-so-flattering manner.



Humbly kidding on all points, of course. Back on topic, being honest, I've never been a fan of Texas Express rules -- especially when applied to a game that'd historically been a call ball/pocket game like 10-ball (even before WPA sanctioning).
I see folks "playing 10-ball" as they call it, and when I tongue-in-cheek ask them what they're playing, when they reply "10-ball, of course" -- I respond, "No you're not. You're playing 9-ball with an extra ball. Play the game correctly, not a 'you'll pry my texas express rules from my cold dead fingers' version."
Probably gonna get a lot of heat about this response, but hey, this is the way I feel about this particular great rotation game.
