Billiards

Billiards, pool, whatever you want to call it...Anyways just seeing who on TPF likes to play with balls and sticks...I mean Pool!

Whats your fancy, 8 ball, 9 ball, Snooker?

I used to play in APA. I am a 6 (handicap) for both 8 ball and 9 ball. I quit about 9 months ago just before my triplet girls were born.

How exactly do they calculate handicaps?


Anyone else on here play?

9-ball mostly. Straight pool occasionally. Snooker a long,long time ago.

It is kinda stupid really. Let me just explain 8 ball. The highest you can be is a 7. I am a 6. So if I am playing vs a 3. The 3 only have to beat me 2X, and I have to beat him/her 5X to get the victory. The 9 ball handicap is really different and hard to explain.

"Screw Your Neighbor" is a good one if you have a lot of people around.
