    @Ryjeethan
    It’s one more reason I don’t play 8-ball in bars unless the person knows the rules.
    Heck, I don’t play 8-ball anymore.
    People invent rules before you shoot the 8 even. Like it has to go clean. WTF!
    Sure.
    The same aholes don’t even know Reyes, Bustmante and Medina were world 8-ball champions.

    @joeygonzo your completely right. there are so many of these fake rules videos everywhere and i try to post the link for the BCA rules link on the comment section. but it never lets me. its a shame cuz now there will be more people playing the game wrong. I hate it when im at the hall and i play someone and they dont know the rules and argue behind the line

    ALL FOULS ARE BALL IN HAND except after the break or on the 8-ball after pocketing it.
    A scratch after the break is ball in hand in the kitchen.
    Any foul after that is ball in hand anywhere in the table.
    Where do you get your rules from ?

    @Redvisorman actually, I spoke a bit incorrectly, I should have said contact a rail with the cue ball or any object ball (which doesn’t refer to only the ball you are shooting at, like this idiot says) I apologize.

    I wish we could get some response from ‘ol Mikey here. I just wanna know whether he knows now how confused he is. He won a pool tournament at his college and dubbed himself an expert.

    I hate Expert Village so much. I should see how many videos I can send in to EV with wrong info. I wonder how many would make it through. Just sound like you’re saying the facts. Power of persuasion right here at work in the form of EV.

    Expert village fails again. They should rename to Foul village.

    … You are the one looking at fouls… you’re probably just so stupid u didn’t understand half the shit he said. Learn to play before bothering watching a video with someone using “Pool Lingo” lmfao

  24. 808moparskate on September 26, 2010 at 8:12 pm

    i think you pull out the eight ball and two of your balls and then its your opponents turn

  25. cypheronyx on September 26, 2010 at 9:01 pm

    Wrong, wrong, wrong. Bullshit bar rules to not punish bad players and to minimize skill in 8-ball.
