Similar Problem as Longhair While Playing 1-Pocket

In Straight Pool, Efren would lose 15 points and have to break the rack as per the opening break. But, this only occurs on the third consecutive foul. I've never heard of this rule being applied for one intentional foul.

Oh yeah, you're right -- Efren re-broke the rack. Apparently Efren never heard of this rule either. It was a foul specifically because he hit the cue ball without using the tip. Dallas West actually called the referee over and pointed it out to him -- then they had to confirm the rule -- and then they issued the penalty. (Efren still won anyway BTW -- because he had a 141 ball run and had a huge lead)

Maybe if that is the game situation. But I would love to force my opponent to make a good hit on a corner hook for a loss of game. It is worth the gamble for the score to remain basically the same.

I've seen some bad players, but I'm not sure one pocket players that bad exist that would even let that scenario develop. Once you take the intentional foul behind his 1st intentional foul, he has to know that his master plan has been foiled and its time to try something else.
 
I thought about it after we talked at diamonds thats night, heres what i would have done...

Atfer the player INTENTIONAL FOULS, calmly remind him that he's in a standard 3 foul equals a loss game, then tell him you feel like his intentional foul has directly affected the outcome of the game and is pretty close to cheating, give him the option of YOU placing the ball back and him reshooting the FOUL legally, if you laughs, mocks, or disagrees with you in ANY way, which they 99% are likely to do if they've just tried to get away with this shot, then calmly go to the table and take your CUE shaft and sweep all the remaining balls in a wedge to your hole and tell him thats one foul for you, then remind him he will forfiet the game before you will.!
 
From onepocket.org, Rules of One Pocket: 6.6 Intentional fouls are an accepted part of One Pocket tactics as long as they are played by use of a legal stroke, such as by lightly touching the cue ball with the cue tip; by rolling the cue ball to a new location without regard for legal contact with either an object ball or a cushion; by pocket scratching the cue ball; or by using a legal jump technique to force the cue ball off the table. However, if the acting official rules that a player has used an illegal technique to direct the cue ball or any object balls to a more desirable location, then the incoming player has the option of either playing the balls where they lie, or requesting the official to restore all such moved balls to their location prior to the illegal maneuver. The offending player is charged the standard one ball foul penalty, and in addition may be further penalized at the discretion of the acting official under the general rules of unsportsmanlike conduct.
 
You are absolutely right

And I have accomplished my goal and made him shoot a corner hook shot
and only lost one ball. So the point is he never should have started that sh##t with me in the first place. :D

Was that jersey red that raked the balls? I heard it was U.J.Puckett.

It was both and then some. I'm sure that scenario has been played out in many a poolhall many times, and I doubt Jersey Red or UJ Puckett were the first.
