Very good idea rogan! Also i think that would be a good add on billardboy.

Although i personally dislike straight pool due to the weird rules, the more then one ball potted rule should be done away with along with the pot on break aswell

I agree with the two balls potted rule being done away with - but I like the no potting on break rule, it makes it different to the other games.


i agree with all that, i second the double potting rules, plenty of times i have potted double balls and then it just tells me it is not valid, well i think i potted them so to me they are valid

If you deliberately potted 2 balls surely it would have been as easy, if not easier to just pot 1.

If you accidentally potted the 2nd ball then it's fair the run ends. Remember it's a call shot game.

Any idea if you could set the original idea up Nick?

very good point nick, but my argument is an accidental potting, but i suppose there is no way of telling whether it was done accidently or deliberately, i always pot one at a time, never see the reasoning in trying to pot two at a time!

a pot counter should be implemented for straight practise

If you pot by accident, it must be a foul?.. Think of it like this, you don't deliberately pot the black in 8 ball by a foul, it's an accident.

I think the actual rules of the game are fine as they are, I'd just like to see a practise table with the straight rules in place - re-racking etc.

Agreed, I need the practice of going into the pack.
