Hey people , im struggling to climp back up to pro again , why? well fluke city thats why. We need a call pocket on 9 so bad its not even funny.All loses aint fluke,s but biggiest part of them is.I think putting it as a choice to either play a call pocket on 9 game or not play cal pocket game , im telling ya most people will love it , hope you give it some serous thought thanks you Aceinawhole

I think Both US games need some serious thinking over...in Real US u have to call each ball and pocket before you shoot..this would increase the skill factor of the pool games on this site for definate..If thats too hard to code then maybe just a call pocket for each ball on both US games that would be a hell of alot better than it is at the moment..Just my opinion.

However dispite your displeasure at these results there are a a larger number of players enjoying the flukes that they get.

It happens against all of us but sometimes happens in our favour so personaly I don't think it needs to be changed.

Having a name pocket would make it easier for the top players to get higher ratings though, this would give more variation to player's ratings and give a fairer reflection of their abilty. But i'm not sure if there are enough regular 9 ball players to spread the ratings so much.

9 ball is the only game out of the 3 that having a name the pocket rule wouldn't ruin the game however you would still get people naming random pockets on every shot. You would also have to name your pocket on every shot because the game can be won on every shot. This would become quite tedious after a while and people will complain.

You also dont wanna make the game too hard as it will put off newer players.

I agree beings i am the biggest fluke at 9 ball! lmao

u win by flukes, and u lose by flukes. No one is luckier than anyone else so they even each other out. The best players win more of the non-fluke games, so they still top the rankings.

So...flukes make no difference at all.

Maybe your just crap aceinawhole!! Stop moaning get on with it!! LOL

The first bit was uncalled for Daft_Punk, but the second bit was spot on!

Martin said it perfectly - sometimes you win, sometimes you loose, so its all even in the end.

I cant remember the last time i saw anyone hit a fluke! Me included!

It was meant in jest! Dont take no offence!

If you can't beat them, JOIN THEM

Heh, i need the fluke soo badly. Hopefully the fluke factor will not be eliminated :)
