Any pool shooters in the house? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Yea just curious if anyone here likes to shoot pool. Anyone in the APA? I just joined a league this year. Lost my first bunch of matches of course but I finally got my own stick. Well tonight I won my first match, NOT ONLY did I win my match I went a rackless night AND sunk the 8 on the break for the first time EVER in my life in the second game. It was such a great feeling and just wanted to share

And, unfortunately, the APA counts that as a win, as opposed to BCA rules which give the shooter the option of having it spotted or re-racking...

Um, yeah, I shoot pool btw.

More or less considered to be the "standard" rule set, though rules certainly vary widely depending on who/where you're playing (especially APA, they made up their own). If you click on Play on the left menu, then Game Rules, you can see all of them. Aside from BCA and APA's own rules, you often see people playing varying degrees of "bar rules". This includes people insisting that an 8-ball rack be sorted by alternating solids/stripes, that balls pocketed on the break automatically determine your type, that you must position the cue ball behind the head string on a scratch, if you touch 3 different rails and nothing else it isn't a scratch, if you make the 8-ball before you're supposed to you automatically lose, and so on. All of these rules, under BCA/"real" rules, are bogus.

But what do I care, I'm a 9-ball player anyway...

BlackBulletTSi · 04-06-2006, 09:21 AM

ha yea I wanna play some 9 ball I haven't played it yet. Yea ok I looked at that site pretty cool.

HickRocket1258 · 04-06-2006, 09:33 AM

I have a poll table in my house that is about 20 years old probably haha. I don't use it as much anymore but still play once in awhile. We should try and get a little pool tournament going sometime just for ****s and giggles or whatever. Would be a great time I think.

BlackBulletTSi · 04-06-2006, 09:45 AM

I'm in

sounds like fun

MPowerKai · 04-06-2006, 12:02 PM

I love playing pool, but I never play ball in hand, always in the kitchen

US_R33 · 04-06-2006, 12:11 PM

i've been known to hang around the pool hall every so often

DropTopChevy · 04-07-2006, 08:11 AM

I play every once in a while and I have my own stick

TehWagon · 04-07-2006, 08:25 AM

For fun and sometimes money here.

Unfortunately, I don't get to play that much because of lack of people willing to be players. So I just shoot alone at my house.

BlackBulletTSi · 04-07-2006, 09:33 AM

Thanks Ash! Yea I do it for fun to. Now that we got a interest maybe we could get something together and head up to a pool hall somewhere. All you guys are in Jersey though
