i’m in the middle of playing this w my friend and i have no idea how to
Same
Message me and I can help
@@awolf913 Down bad
Same wtf 😂💀
shut up sophia
Most other videos I've watched failed to mention what makes a legal break and a legal shot. So this is a great video. The only thing I would add is that you have to put opposite balls in the base of the racking triangle, as others pointed out. Thanks!
when racking, the two bottom corners have to be opposite (stripe on one, solid on the other). the two balls below the 8 ball have to be opposite (solid/stripe). no balls can be consecutive along the outer edge (you cannot have 3 solids in a row or 3 stripes in a row).
Actually according to the BCA and WPA rules which most would consider as the world’s most standardised rules, they say the only requirement is that the 8 ball is in the middle and one stripe and one solid is present on the corners. Every other ball is random.
Wow! I have seen most player do the racking the way you talk about.
@@awolf913 There are three corners in the rack, how do you set it up?
@@HsingSun for US 8 ball Official rules, you place the 8 in the middle with 1 stripe and 1 solid on the two corners. It matters not which way round as long as one stripe and one solid are on each corner. The other balls are placed randomly without any purposeful pattern.
@@HsingSun the ball at the top of the triangle is random also although it is customary to see a lot of games use the 1 ball as the top ball (apex ball) but this isn’t an official rule.
Hmm, this helped me understand fouls! Thanks, now i can't get hustled again
Naw er wu tur baya kehe sen baye lse teee nera?🥰
Thank you for the video. I do not know anyone play a group of three, but I do. We divide five balls for each player: Player 1 get numbers 1-5; Player 2 get numbers 6-10, and Player 3 get numbers 11-15. As the final winner, you must sink all your five balls into the pocket.
This is very close to the game cut throat. It works almost exactly the way you described, except you need to sink the OTHER players balls and you are out when yours are all potted. Very fun!
@@stuartpawlak5340 This game is known as "king of the hill"
0:55 you can also lag to decide for break
1:25 not entirely true. The requirement for 4 balls to hit a rail must be met only if a ball isn’t pocketed on a break. As long as a ball is potted on the break, it doesn’t matter how many balls hit a rail.
1:43 you can also rerack and allow the original breaker to break again
1:49 pocketing a ball that is not yours is only a foul if you contact that ball being an opponents ball first. Hitting your ball first which then touches an opponents ball that is potted is not a foul, it’s just the end of your turn
2:34 this is incorrect as it’s the break shot the cue ball is only limited to ball in hand behind the head string. Any other foul immediately after a foul break is where you can have ball in hand anywhere on the table.
I agree your points.
I also thought that the back corners should be opposing balls (stripe vs. solid) but I could be wrong.
Also around 2:04, I thought it was hitting a wall AFTER contact.
@@stuartpawlak5340 you are correct, only the back corners should be opposing.
@@stuartpawlak5340 after the cue ball contacts an object ball, the object ball must either be potted or strike a cushion or the cue ball alone strikes a cushion or both otherwise it’s a foul.
so difficult to play with my kids.. need to learn somemore, thanks
Nice tutorial. i learn a lot..because i have no idea how to play billards...
Thanks for thie very informative video on Pool! 👌👌
Hey I love your videos you have helped me discover new games and how to play them but can you make a video on how to play poker it would really help me out!
I have a question - What if I pot the White Cue ball on the turn when I have to pot the Black ball, but the Black ball still remains on the table. Does my opponent continue to get their turn with ball in hand or the game ends?
Props to my friend for coming up with a bunch of bs rules in order to look knowledgeable 😂
Can I re-declare the pocket on my 8 ball shot if I miss, or do I now still have to shoot it into that pocket that I originally declared?
Yes. You can declare any pocket for the 8 ball every time it’s your turn. 👍🏼
In Nigeria there's no ball in hand, it's just two shots on any foul your opponents commit. And also if they scratch (pocketing the cue ball), the opponents will take the ball and place it in the breaking section and play.
And seriously it's so annoying
interesting, we play a ball in hand kinda thing but the cue ball can only be placed anywhere behind that line ( i don't know what the line is called) and if your balls are behind that line, then you have to do a rebound, it's much more difficult but more fun to play. Also the 8 ball cannot be pocketed into the middle pockets, that makes it too easy.
@@barbara_corcoran6150 the line you are referring to is headstring. You can only play a ball behind the headstring providing the cueball crosses the headstring and then comes back up the table to contact the ball/s behind the headstring for it to not be a foul.
@@barbara_corcoran6150 according to the official rules, the 8 ball can be potted in any pocket including the middle ones, all that is required is that the pocket is called and the 8 ball goes in the called pocket for it to be a win.
@@awolf913 one more doubt, if any players makes a foul( miss the shot by not hitting any balls or wrong object Ball ) will he get two turns?
@@manshad7161 no, it’s just one shot and the opponent can place the cue ball anywhere on the table to take his/her shot as he/she pleases. If the same thing happened on the break, it would be cue ball in hand behind the headstring by the opposing player. The 2 shots thing you’re thinking of only applies to English pool where the cue ball remains in position.
Is there a version of 8-Ball, where if you pot a ball on the break you are not automatically that grouping, solids or stripes, and you must you pot a ball on your next consecutive shot to determine grouping?
When we pot the cue ball in snooker, then can we play directly backwards shot from the D or we have to play it forward only? Any expert suggestions?
Are there any situations in which a player gets two shots? For example, is the opposing team scratches the cue ball, would the other team get two shots? Or can they only place the cue ball anywhere on the table? I have also seen rules about where you fan place the cue ball- usually in a small section of the table opposite of where you rack. I’m just learning how to play so I apologize if I’m not using the correct terminology. If you have any other rules about when a player gets two shots, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you for the helpful video!
Only way to earn a second or more shots is by pocketing your chosen balls. After an opponent scratches you'll only get one shot
In British 8 ball you get 2 shots after a foul. In American pool there're no 2 shots
Ran Refael gotcha- thank you!!
In Nigeria there's no ball in hand, it's just two shots on any foul your opponents commit. And also if they scratch (pocketing the cue ball), the opponents will take the ball and place it in the breaking section and play.
And seriously it's so annoying
NO BASHING READ TO THE END!!!
I'M REALLY ASKING FOR CLEARIFICATION AS I DO NOT KNOW BETTER !!!
Solid video, liked it, all in all cool video that gives many insides.
Great animation style
For beginners like me: PLEASE IGNORE EVERYTHING BELOW as you can not take anything i've said here for granted (or may be you can, depending on answers given by pro's [hopefully])!
but i've one issue ,one question and some remarks with it :
I'm trying to learn 8 ball with my family right now and have been reading many rules and watching many videos lately, so please correct me where I might be wrong.
Issue:
~ 3:17 "potted the solid [..] now you only target solid balls...." in the example the 8 is also marked... that ball is not allowed for playing directly, even by the solid playing player, unless it is the last ball
Question:
~ 0:50 Who goes first, isn't that done by "Stringing" instead of a coin ?
Remarks:
~ 0:30 Building/Racking the break: If i'm not totally wrong the break is build random, only rule given is the position of the EIGHT [All rules] (AND that the left and right corner balls are diffrent type ( spot and stripe) [BCA])
most players put the 1 in the front but it is not needed by rules. Video shows solid balls in all three corners (APA ruleset of '23 does not even mention the two type in corner rule)
~ 3:03 "... but you potted both a stripe and as solid... " but the balls shown in example and marked being solid [2(Blue) 6(Green)]
Thanks
Got the basics.
How about when you break and 8 ball is goes to the pocket.is it illegal or you won the game
I love the comment on this one is Awesomely am 62 and all the comments crack me up.For anyone not sure how to play, your friend should show you or that person isn't a friend.In regards to racking the balls, if your good enough your pot a few balls.His shown you the tricks just follow and you might get a few in and when the game.If you have trouble playing with your kids then get them to play fair and teach you.Okay people, in Australia or what ever rules you wish to follow, you break and the a if the white comes off the table their is no fouls as long as a ball hasn't drop, then the game continues, if the ball drops, then the oppenate can say I will take that ball and no single shot is needed.If all on the black,first mistake wins, that is hit the black and go in off then they lose,black goes in and white off the table, then they lose.All depends what country you live in.State rules before you start, then no argument.
Idk, maybe i missed it. My daughter is singing to me. But. When we played years ago, if you sunk the 8 ball on a break, you won the game. Maybe it was covered.
thank you :)
So i ask one question, opponent cue ball hit rail first and then hit 8 ball, but the 8 ball didn't hit to other rail, is it a foul?
I’ve some questions. what can opponent do when someone gives a foul ?
the opponent can gets a ball in hand or others ?
You’re the best
I Play this With variation..
Scratch, you start behind the Line, can lose if you drop the White while shooting black, scratch if you go off table, calling shots isnt strict or necessary
It has everything the balls The triangle and the sticks but they are all so small I also got a Mini table which has holes six holes inside
Awesome video! Clear and concise
Very helpful. Thank you a lot but I've a question. For instance I potted all my group balls and now I'm about to pot the 8ball to win the game if I pot the 8ball and the cue ball hits opponents ball on table into a pocket, have I lost the game?
Anyone with experience and knows the rules can help? Thank you
Also depends on the ruleset you play,
i've started lately and decided to stick to the DBU rules (Deutsche Billard Union [more or less the German billard authority]) which are basicly a translation of the WBA rules
§3.8 Losing the game:
(1 a): if the player does a foul while potting the 8 successfully ( if you foul by not potting the 8 at all, it just ends your turn!)
Actually potting _accidentally_ a ball of your opponent is not a foul (according to wpa), if you did not foul by hitting it. ( rules of first contact and so on might apply) (potting a opponents ball, even by applying any other rules correctly, on pupose might be considered unsportsmanlike conduct according to 6.17 but is unlikely as you do not gain an advantage.)
So coming back to your question ... By all rules known by me so far ...
potting the 8 in the right pocket and potting a opponents ball at the same time does NOT result in losing the game...
if the cue ball fouls ( by also be potted or leaving the table for example) you lose
Helped me a lot!!!! Thanks ya!!
Good explanation but couldn't catch it all. Gotta replay
While we pocket our ball. @ the same time if opponent ball also pocket its foul or we lost our turn?
This is so helpful
If I table scratch the 8 ball (don’t hit it) is that an automatic loss?
What is the whole ball with the red dot in the middle for
That us the ball you use to strike.
What's the rule that after a foul you put the cue ball behind the line and only shoot in the other direction
Is there a limit on how many fouls u can make like 9 balls or 10balls?
3:18 I don't think you should immediate target the black ball :)
Interesting
Hey great video, but I have a question if u can please help me.
When playing 8 ball and a player brakes, if there is no ball potted and its open table, can a player chose to pot a solid ball by hitting a stripe ball first if the striped ball helped him make that solid ball?
@@y3y046 Yes, that's fair game whole the table is open.
Hi, thanks for the clarity!!! Can I have your permission to download and have this circulated on the Instagram account of my cafe? I’ve put together a pool table in an area where still not many know the game.. it would help people warm up to the idea of playing the game.. do let know please..
Rack em up fo’ Missuh Fast Eddie Felson. You know I haven’t played straight pool since before you were born. Watch this 9 on the break!!!
I play with these exact rules
Then you are playing wrong
@@AdinIsHereYT if he’s following the rules shown in the vid then he is wrong
What happens when a foul is made? Do all pocketed balls go back on the table? Is the guilty party also penalized with one of his/her previously pocketed balls being brought back up.
Aca en Uruguay se juega un poco diferente
What if someone hits a solid and pockets a stripe when the table is still open (after breaking)?
Does it mean that stripe is not his ball?
No, the stripe is theirs. After the rack, the ball set is based on who scored what first.
Or without coin you can use ramdom player
I pay rent with this
Don’t forget you need to use chalk
What if there is only black ball left and player pots the cue ball who wins?
Who ever makes the 8 ball legally, wins, if you foul and the 8 ball is still on the table, it's ball in hand for the other guy
I have been played 8 balls with my seniors. We made the rule if the Black 8 ball is the only one left on the table. One must hit the White ball to bank the rail and then the White ball hit the Black ball sink it to the pocket as the final winner. How much lucky could you make?
When deciding for either stripes or solid do you pick before starting or when you hit the ball when they are clump together and what ever ball lands inside is your ball?
I'm no expert, but I do have a table at my house. Break is the only time we allow "crap". That is, the only time you get whatever goes in. If you break, and the 2 goes in, you're solids. If a 13, stripes (and I'm picking arbitrary numbers here. Any solid would work for the first and any stripe for the second). If both a solid and a stripe go in, the table is still open, but you get to go again. If you make nothing, I shoot, but if I get lucky and make something in I wasn't trying to, the table is still open
If you sink a solid when you break, then you have to sink solids from then on. If you sink a stripe on the break, then you have to sink stripes from then on. If you sink one of each on the break then you can choose if you want solids or stripes. If you don't sink any when you break then the next player can sink either a stripe or a solid, but when he sinks a stripe (or a solid) then he sticks with that through the game.That's how we play anyway :)
@@catclark9488 not entirely true, even if you pot a single stripe or a solid on the break it is still an open table, the same as if you potted both of them. It’s the shot immediately after the break and pot that determine what balls you are on.
@@awolf913 There are so many variations of the rules from pub to pub (in Australia), or group to group. I played at one pub for many years, and they were the rules we went by. May not be 'correct', but they were accepted by all who played. And then the next game you played, someone who didn't usually play there would question the play as well. So, many variations around.
@@catclark9488 completely agree but if we are going by the WPA which regards itself as the leader of world standardised rules, then I reply with that.
Send me link for the single player game
What if you pocket a cue ball. Can you place it where ever you wish to take your shot?
The opponent may. But it has to be within the table
@@atent5124 what you mean by within the table? Do guys take shots outside it?? Lol😂
What to do with the jumped off ball. Where to keep it?
throw the basterd back on the table and sendddddddddddddddddddd it
It’s in Hong Kong I am at Winnipeg I can’t bring it here
can I shot cue ball without touching my hand on table?
According to the rules, yes, but it's practically impossible considering it's really hard to do without resting it on your hand or using a bridge stick.
I play these when I was small
What if player pots 8 number ball on break does that player win the game like 9 ball pool ?
yes
It's rare, but in that case, you just re-rack and start again.
According to the official rules no. You can either respot the 8 ball and accept the table in position or rebreak.
I liked this video, but he didn't explain what happens in the case of a foul play, he only explained what the fouls were. Can someone answer that question for me?
You can place q ball or striker ball anywhere on the table to shoot.
Are used to have a mini one
It's too small a video, do long one for beginners
Which rules are these?
What if any other ball jump out is it a foul and what happenes to that ball
Foul and left off the table. Cue ball in hand to opponent.
@@awolf913 so if i hit for example ball number 6 and it went out. It'll be out and its foul for my opponent and ball number 6 will be inside right?
@@X7Villa7X in your example, ball number 6 would be off the table and the opponent would have he option of accepting the table as it is or taking cue ball in hand to place anywhere on the table. This is providing this didn’t happen on the break shot, in which case, the cue ball would be in hand behind the headstring only for the shot immediately after the break following a foul which in this case would be.
What if you fail to pocket 8? Will you lose or continue?
You keep going until someone does- unless there's a scratch on the 8, and then whoever made that shot loses.
@@HPayne62 thanks
how many fouls are allowed in 8ball? if i can make as many i want its a stupid rule to have fouls in the first place
I thought its just pocketing all balls and you win but...
What do u need to play pool
A pool table 😂😂
Us Dominicans we play a different way
dang this video has wrong info in many places. I just want to find the ACTUAL legit rules of 8-ball billiards
I gave this a thumbs down.
The dialogue was too fast.
The graphics were very good, but moved by too quickly.
The music was unnecessary and distracting.
I would not use this video to share with friends.
There are better videos.
Sorry.
There is always room for improvement .
Jesus christ, like half the rules need you to get a ball to hit the side. Why? What's so special about the cushions?
Different places have slightly different rules. At the pub I used to play at, it's not a foul if the coloured ball doesn't hit a cushion when you have your shot.
This is one of the most unfair online games I know. The "site owners" will make you spend your money in every way. Otherwise, you will be a constant loser.
I'm strip
Very poor explanation!
your rules are clapped fam you can only do the first shot from the dot on the line and if you pocket the white it can only go behind the line using solids and stripes is also clapped you use red and yellow and you don't call the blacks pocket if your gambling also it should be a green table
different game. thats black ball pool
