Remembering when "cut throat" was a fun game.

Does anyone remember the game "cut throat"? The game where 3 people are designated a group of 5 balls (1-5,6-10,11-15) and the object is to knock everyone else's balls off the table. I used to have alot of fun playing with my buddies. Back then it was a game, no one was very good and a game could last long enough to have fun. Fast forward to lastnight I ran into one of my old friends and he wanted to play "cut throat" I had all but forgot about that childhood past time. So he, my girlfriend and myself decided we'd have fun remembering the old days. The good 'ol days were fun only because we could only bang balls around. There should be a skill level limit on playing. After 8 games where I was the only person on the table I became the a$$hole of the bunch and that wasn't very fun for me. I believe the days of cut throat fun are over for me. It was fun while it lasted. Anyone else have childhood games that are just not the same anymore?

Kelly Pool was fun and the first game that I ever played on a pool table. Pool games take on a nasty twist when you are the one doing all of the winning whether it be for money or fun. There are very few true competitors out there.

But still, we occasionally get out the pill bottle and pick pills/numbers and play for $1 & $2 on the five and nine...It doesn't last long but sometimes guys just want to revisit their childhood. When the bet gets raised to $5 AND $10, the game ends shortly after that but as I remember in my youth,the same thing happened shortly after raising the bet. We kind of did the same thing playing poker years ago.

I played Cutthroat about 3 weeks ago when my daughter and her boyfriend came over and wanted to play. I played one-handed and coached them on how to beat me, on which shots to play, how to play them and how to gang up on me and I still won. :o It really wasn't much fun, except that we were spending quality time together.
