I grew up with a pool table in the house. We knew serious company was coming to visit when dad got his stick out of his car. My sister and I both have pool tables in our houses.

[@justsomenerd8925]

I remember when I was in airborne school, and we would play at this pool hall outside of Ft. Benning. One night we brought this dude that no one really wanted to hangout with, because he was a little arrogant (but who isn't when they are young, dumb, and in the military?) to play with us, and he started to want to bet on games. So, in the last game of the night I was playing him and we got into a heated discussion. He banked the cue off two rails to make the object ball, but had only called 1 rail, so I thought he should pay up. Well, in the middle of figuring it out he said he had to use the restroom, so the rest of us left him with the tab and a $60 cab ride back to base.

Yes Josh we do play a serious game of pool well quite a few of us anyway, but if somebody is calling you on making contact with their ball with the cue ball after you make your shot cleanly then they're cheating you. Once again absolutely hilarious video, keep up the awesome work!

As a kid, my Mexican neighbor (his dad) had a coin-op size pool table. I learned on that table starting about age eight but my friend (the son) and his sister started about age four. Twenty years later, my brother-in-law bought the table from the people who bought the house. The table is family.

He gave lessons and taught rules and regulations to anyone who wanted to learn. Everything he said was true On point. These older men took this seriously . Would go on the Road. Travel from room to room gambling ( Road Players ). Their are Professional players and then the players who just wanted to have fun. My advice. Stay in your lane. . You may be like Smokin Joe Bartlett. Lost his money. Truck and pool cue. . We gave him a bus ticket and told him to come back when you re - up. 🎱🎱🎱 Tell me ? You think this man is The Hustler ?

It sounds terrible but he's really not wrong I was in pool halls at like 10 to 11 years old learning how to play pool. I got my first gun for my 6th birthday. And proficient in archery by the age of 12. My dad was a single dad and he wanted to make sure that if anything ever happened to me I could protect myself

[@melburnett]

Dude, when I was around 19 to about 27, we'd hang out at Arley's Pool Hall. I had a buddy that knew what I was doing, so I'd go in get a beer and we'd play and I'd have him win. Someone else would put a quarter down to play winner. He'd bow out and I'd play him. I won the first and he won the last two. He wanted to play for money and I said Well, I gotta go get some from my car. I'd smoke a joint with my buddy and get really relaxed. Then I went in played him 10 games for $20.00 a game and won every time. Works like a charm still but I ain't done that in years. Play pool that is, I'm high now.

LMFAO thats so true I never thought about it. I won my first pool contest at 16 and won what would be about $1,000 pool stick I took everywhere just in case. Lol. My mom bought me a pool table at 13 and I played night and day so the men were hurt when my little self broke three rounds were I sunk the 9 on the break. The final round took me one shot after I broke. I had to climb up on the table to shoot but that didn't stop me from shooting behind the back. That was the best bragging rights for about 5 yrs. And you right we don't drink until after. We might nurse A beer at most. Lol You should do drunk bowling. You know rednecks love drunk bowling. We used to drunk speed bowl. Lol 😂😂😂

[@rsenl7270]

Lol! Too accurate. My uncle use to take me up to sports bars when I was young and we would play pool. I use to beat grown adults and I could tell that pissed them off a little bit. And the reason we use our own sticks is because the bar sticks are all bent up from drunks hitting them on the pool table when they miss a shot. You just can't have nice shit in a bar.

[@dontneedtoknow5836]

They are bent from leaning on them more often. The pitting from hitting them is horrendous.

#6 Anybody serious about playing pool has their own accessories like sandpaper, tipshaper, tip scuffer, shaft smoother, AND CHALK. They will spend five minutes grooming their pool cue and tip before they play. They may let you borrow the scuffer, shaper, and sandpaper. DO NOT touch their chalk. It is sacred. Anything on your tip will transfer to their chalk and to their tip.

[@lessanderfer7195]

Yes, you must call every ball, pocket, bank any any other balls you contact before your ball drops (Book of Hoyle rules). But I have never heard of someone making you call "the leave". Unless the Cue Ball contacts your object ball more than once, which you can call, what it does after your shot, doesn't matter, unless you scratch of course.

[@BamaShinesDistillery]

No, APA there is no calling shots. Neither 8 or 9 ball. There are rules for shot, like the cue has to hit something else after it hits the original ball. It must hit your ball first, ect. But bottom line, shit shots count. Watch any pro pool tourney on TV, no one calls their shots.

[@JohnFilax]

I've been playing 30 years and the rule has always been you call the ball and the pocket. Doesn't matter how it gets there if you make a legal hit.

[@lessanderfer7195]

@@JohnFilax My friends and I call that "Slop". Watch old pool movies, videos and competitions, it is not uncommon to call every "contact". The higher the caliber of Shooters, the more strict the rules. MY friends and I were so strict, if you called something and it didn't happen, we considered it a Scratch. But regardless, no one calls the "Leave", NO ONE!!!
