I've been running a poll on my pool home page ( http://www.poolandbilliards.aceswebworld.com/) for a few years. As of this morning, here are the totals:
WHAT IS YOUR GAME OF CHOICE?
Nine Ball 485 (28%)
Eight Ball 566 (33%)
Straight Pool 131 (7%)
One-Pocket 33 (1%)
3-Cushion Billiards 36 (2%)
Snooker 102 (6%)
Other 21 (1%)
When I started the poll there wasn't much talk about 7 ball or 10 ball or I might have included them. The omission of bank pool was a mistake on my part. As for the novelty games, like cribbage, etc., there are just too many of them and should probably be the subject of another poll.
One thing, the universe of players who visit my site and vote may be different from the universe of those who visit this forum.

Exactly my point, I think "Other" should have been included as an option. I think your list of choices better represents the common games being played in pool halls today, plus it gives the option for ones not listed. Although I see one pocket being played all the time, I still view it as a novelty game.
Thank you for posting those results.
