in Houston all the mexican players play its not a foul if the object ball flys off the table..I have seen cliff play like this also..Actually in Houston a lot of ppl play its not a foul..Me I dont give **** who u r..ball flys off the table spot it up..unless u r dominican..then u just make it up as u go..
I cant remember where, but some where I lived for a couple years we played that way in 9B, if a OB flys off the table it stays down-no foul. Its been so long ago i cant remember the rules to 9B anymore.....:frown:
I lost the quarter finals of a bar event about a few yrs back, ONLY because of the rules. I hadn't done that since the sixties. Quite annoying nowadays, ya never Know What the rules are gonna be, EVER.
Actually I have counted 10.3 zillion ways to play 8 ball:wink:
Hope your well buddy, miss ya,
take care,
eric
You missed one!!
10Zillion and 1 where I play.
There are 2 guys that constantly ask me what is the rule on whatever. I ask them how long they have been playing each other. They have been playing each other for years and discuss every foul or questionable question. I usually tell them I Don't Know...maybe you should look the rules up or set up a standard plan.
It gets worse when they play 1-15. Same players. Same "How Ae We Playing"
Speaking of How do we play 8 ball....ask me how I like to play.
Bring up a ball on a foul
Spot incorrectly pocketed balls
BIH behind the line.
Miss the 8 or foul on it... game over.
Why not just print the rules and carry them in your case? I assume since you are playing 1 pocket the person you are playing knows a thing or two about pool. He should be open to using official rules.
Good idea, but there aint none.Guess some hack made some and then someone just added to them. To many ands ifs or but's.The rules for most pool games are very lame to say the least, anyway. Hopefully that will change. JB
Well said John. This is a less extreme example, but I was playing some dude recently and I made a ball on the break playing 9ball and got snookered. I told him I was going to push out. This guy started razzing me and was in disbelief that I thought I could push out (we were playing for fun, not money). He believed that push outs could only be done by the opposing player if the person breaking hadn't made a ball. This guy had been playing pool for well over 30 years.
By the way, I bought both of your DVD's recently (Secrets & A Lesson). They are both GOLD.
Another good example !! Thanks for all your $!!! ,glad you are enjoying them:smile: JB
Most of the tournaments I have been to, had a players meeting , there they gave the rules that were to be played by.
Unfortunately, too many players did not attend and throughout most tournaments , someone who wasn't there argues the rules with someone who was, and a director.
Whenever you are somewhere besides your home turf , you have to fade bs calls, nobody likes to lose and too many people are willing to cheat to win.
Only way to try to overcome it is make sure you cover all the nit possibilities that might come up and hope you don't forget any, and especially , that they don't forget !
Billy Jackets went to a card game in a small town full of rich farmers in West Virginia.
He was a knowledgeable gambler and only took 1/3 of his bankroll in to start.
About the third hand Billy caught kings full, in a six card stud game and none of his opponents hands could possibly beat him even if they had the perfect cards in the hole to make their best hand.
Billy could barely get a raise in before he was "all in".
Billy showed his kings full and everyone said nice hand except Clyde, Clyde yelled roodles!
Everyone clapped and patted Clyde on the back and the dealer shoved all the money to Clyde.
Billy said "Hey I had Kings Full" and he had the 2 of hearts the three of diamonds the ten of spades the Jack of Hearts Queen of Hearts and the Ace of Diamonds"!
The dealer said That's roodles, roodles beats everything!
Billy liked to play honest but knew his way with a deck of cards better than most people, so he went back to the car and got the other 2/3 of his money and whacked up the deck so all the players got monster hands with him getting roodles.
He made the switch and no one blinked, the betting started and he got all his money in after the last card was dealt.
It was a monster pot.
One after the other the old boys showed their hands and Billy was up against Clyde again at the end , Clyde had 4 sevens and Billy could barely keep from laughing when he turned over roodles.
The dealer then proceeded to push the pot to Clyde and Billy screamed "I had roodles, roodles beats everything you said!"
The dealer never even smiled when he said , "sorry son , only 1 roodles per day.

Nice!! Reminds me of the sign at my brothers shop where we play alot of diff games...It reads......"when we are at your house.. we will play by your rules" There should be... but one set of rules to the game at hand,however. JB
