I think that the not allowed to pot 2 balls in one shot should be removed.

It's a big problem as were your on 34 and you pot 2 balls and then your opponent comes back to win.

The majority of people would vote to have the rule removed.

Happened to me on a couple of runs in 80's. Its very annoying. However as much as i hate the rule, it gives more of a challenge IMO and should be kept as it is.

True, as you could get people just blasting the bunch and like 4 balls going in. That's a disadvantage of it. It's very annoying when it happens. Hate it so much!

good idea , BUT... if you potted 2-3 balls on the
"smash" you would get 2-3 point added on , makes flukes all that but more annoying

what lordpool's profile doesnt say is that 2 or more balls are only allowed in 'real life' straight pool as long as the ball you nominated was pocketed.

True. If you pot the called ball into the called pocket and another ball drops somewhere, you get a point for that too. If the called ball does not drop, the other accidentally potted ball does not count. (Am I right?)
