Can anyone direct me where to find the old 2 shot push out rules for 9 ball?
I want to start playing it.
Thanks in advance.

Old Skool Push out rules 9 ball

Generally, if you don't like what you're looking at, you can roll the cue ball to another spot.
2 fouls are allowed; broken down to two by the same player or any two fouls - tantamount to push anytime next foul is BIH.
Strategy is another matter.

So let's say you've hooked yourself. You can push out and the opponent can choose to take the shot or not?
That's it. In any two fouls, he'll be liable if he screws up. If he is successful, I believe the second foul remains a factor for either player for the duration of the rack.
In two by the same person, only the original player is liable and I believe the opponent will have one rollout available for the duration of the rack.
I only played under those rules as a beginner and it wasn't very long before I switched permanently to one foul BIH.

2 foul, roll out
are there any videos on YouTube of folks playing 2 foul or roll out? Ive been hearing CJ talk about it a lot and makes me want to watch some. Thanks!

It's been a long time, my memory might be off, but here goes.....
Scratch on break, get ball in hand in kitchen.
Any balls pocketed on a scratch get respotted.
Only time time someone gets ball in hand, is if two consecutive fouls were made (usually you will be shooting out of the kitchen on a scratch, if lowest ball in kitchen it gets spotted).
I don't think there was any limit to amount of rollouts in a game, you just can't have 2 consecutive rollouts.
Example... you are hooked on a 4 ball. You rollout to a difficult shot. Your opponent has 3 choices...give it back to you, attempt the shot themselves, or play a legal safety... ok, so your opponent plays a legal safety, and you are hooked.... you rollout to a difficult shot and your opponent has same 3 choices again.... say this time your opponent gives it back to you. You attempt the shot and scratch... now your opponent gets BIH because there were 2 consecutive fouls... your rollout (didn't drive ball to rail) and your scratch.
2 shot rollout greatly reduces the value of safeties, and forces players to take on difficult shots more often.
The game is slower, but (I think) more interesting.
Disclaimer... I'm not entirely sure about the unlimited rollouts.
I remember no limit on game rollouts - just after a rollout choice in a particular frame the incoming player elects to shoot or hand it back - either choice, a legal hit must follow or else ball in hand to the un-offending shooter.
