Bank Pool probably belongs in a poll like this long before 7-Ball :D
It's the most popular game at Derby City...
 
I chose 8 ball, as I am new to pool. I play 9 as well and I think I'm going to try 14.1 soon as I think it will help me in short positional play
 
10 ball

9 ball is okay but it isn't as good a game as 10, and personally, I don't like 8 ball at all. If I had my own table I would play 14.1 but I don't and no one ever wants to play it at my club. I do play snooker once every few months. No interest in one pocket, three cushion or banks, although I appreciate the skill level required.

Wow, 8-ball has really taken an overnight lead after being level with 9-ball!

I expected 10-ball to be more popular than indicated so far.

I didn't realize one-pocket and straight were that popular these days. I'd never heard of one-pocket until a few weeks ago.

Very interesting ongoing survey this.

Please vote! :)

Well I chose 7-ball because firstly I believe it's growing. But mainly because it's a very distinctive game and I thought it would appeal to those who like to play something different from the norm. You can buy special racks and balls for it now.

Based on this description

I agree that Bank Pool sounds very distinctive too :)

i was suprised to see 8ball in the lead.... figured 9 for sure....i play 8 for hours and hours on end for years now... keeps me thinking all the time what's next.. oh and gives me choices when i F'up a leave....lol
 
I answered 8-ball, as that's what I'm learning on, and what I play in league. I guess it has to be my game of choice, by default! :p

I haven't played any of the others save for a little 9-ball (which I do like so I expect I'd like 10-ball too), due to limited table time. I hope that changes soon, and that I get to try all of these games.

Interesting poll. Thanks for starting it.
 
I also replied with a vote for One Pocket. Like many here, I have played all of the games throughout the years, but have settled on OP because of the many challenges involved in playing the game successfully. I think 14.1 would be my next choice.
 
I think you'll find most league players, like myself, will be 8 Ball.
9 Ball too but mostly 8 Ball.
