Are you ever going to add options for a bigger table with tighter pockets. There's so many flukes going in, it's ridiculous.

Flukes can happen at any table size and any pocket size so why change it?

Spot on!!

Weather you make the table/pocket size bigger or smaller there will always be flukes.

Sure will, but lets not lose perspective here: The larger table/smaller pockets you have, the less likelyhood (and therefore lower frequency) of flukes you get.

Yep, thats right.

The US games were originally on tables which mirrored the real life dimensions of US pool tables, but when the "arcade" versions were introduced, the "pro" tables ended up only being used by a die-hard few.

Flukes will always exist, and what is vital to remember is that they are indescriminate. Unlike deliberate shots, flukes do not depend on skill

Yes those were the days, best tables ever and required far more skill.

But when the easy option was introduced there was only a few who would play them

Would love them to be brought back as an option but i don't think they ever will.

would be good too, i can remain supreme over them like once before

flukes are part of the game, when they work for you its all good, you say sorry and win, but when they go against you its horrid, its 1 of those things where nothing can be done to stop them without removing pockets alltogether.

The more you play the game the less likely you are to be annoyed about flukes.

How long ago was this? And how can you be sure more people might not want to use them this time?

Unless fluking against Jan. It's good when he's on wrong end of it

If you want to play a game with less flukes, go over to snooker
