Unfortunately it is 8 ball at the moment. Almost chose "other" as I lately have just been knocking balls around... Hope to get into 10 ball more in the very near future...
 
I've seen more people I play willing to switch from 9 ball to 10 ball.

The movement appears to be gathering momentum in my neck of the woods.

I think the Magic Rack has had a role in that.
 
There is the Kentucky Derby an there or other horse races. Nine ball an then the other race 10 ball. I suppose I'm just a little old fashioned. Skip :smile:
 
I probably play more one pocket than anything right now. Tournaments are mostly 9-ball though. I try to play 14.1 whenever possible. I hardly play 8-ball.
 
8-ball. That is, I play 9-ball and hang the 9 so often that it might as well be called "8-ball." :groucho::groucho::groucho:
 
I answered straight pool, because it's what I play when I have the choice, but I play a lot of 9 ball because that's where I can make money gambling and in tournaments, and I play 8 ball every week in leagues.

I also have a friend teaching (read "beating the hell out of me") me one pocket.

I play a few games.:thumbup:
 
Like my name states,9 ball,but when it's time to practice I practice 14.1 and 1 pocket,(ball control & safe practice).Just wish I could find a snooker table near me.The closest is about 1 hour away..:eek:..I'm thinkin no!!
 
BB 8 ball

Currently locked into Barbox 8 ball, but would love to find a BCA 10 ball league. or any 10 ball league for that matter.
 
I don't think 3 cushion should be on this list. On a pocket table my main game is straight pool. On a carom table it's 3 cushion.

Mostly 14.1, sometimes 8-Ball. Like Danny DiLiberto once said, "9-Ball is play by numbers while straight pool forces you to make decisions". I like that challenge.

I think it should. How about if you walk into a billiards hall that has pool tables and carom tables. Would you choose a pool variant (which one?) or choose carom?

@Scott: true, but my aim is to make people make a choice, for statistical purposes. I pretty much love all cue sports too, but 8-ball is my preferred game, closely followed by 10-ball.

So far, 9-ball and 8-ball are way out ahead, and tied!

ironically not straight pool :/ it's just the game I WISH I could play well and frequently.
 
I voted 9 ball because I play it most often.

I usually prefer to play straight pool though.
