What is your favorite game to play? - Billiards-Talk Forums

My personal favorite is 9 ball. I am sure I would enjoy 1 pocket and straight pool but just do not play them. I think I am going to start soon - then my answer might change.

I'm going with 9-ball, too.

Straight pool's too frustrating. When I was a kid, I could run 50-60 balls like rolling off a log. Now, I have trouble running a rack. And, the ideal break shot is a shot I have trouble with now. Forgetaboutit!

I'm not in love with 8-ball, but I don't mind playing by Texas Express rules.

One-hole? Maybe when I grow up. Right now I have enough trouble making the balls in 6 holes.

I would enjoy some 50 cent Chicago or Pill Pool if I could find players willing to partake.

so it really doesn't matter to me which game I play...as long as I get to play.

7, 8, 9, straight, one pocket, three cushion etc.......

Keeps changing, but right now it's back to 8-ball.
I guess the question could be, which one are you currently least bored of.
Right now, I'm really tired of 9-ball.

OMG, I HATE ONE POCKET.

Not that I don't respect the game, I just can't stand the tempo of it. I go to a pool room to make balls in holes, not beat around the bush all night.

9 ball reigns supreme in my world.

Straight pool is also a favorite of mine, I rarely play 8 ball.

I learned on Lineup, then 8-Ball on bar boxes, now 9-Ball 9 Fter's, it's fun to let whitey do some things!!
