as a out and out potter i love killer such a fun game whats everyone elses (only issue is it benefits bad positional shots)

Killer is great, money in the pot from each player at start -winner takes all, only one life, and anyone that pockets or pots the black at any time pays out of their pocket into the pot for the rerack.

Now, in our local version, potting the black gives you an entra life!

We play black is extra life also,

We also play with cards!

Favourite Version of Pool

Three lives
Foul and out
No extra lives
Sometimes put an ashtray in the middle of the table, if any ball hits it that player puts another 20p in it winner takes all pot and ashtray

Love playing the occasional game of 9ball. So quick and easy to play.

15-1 for a bit of potting practice. The best game ever has to be golf on a pool table, had a few really good hours playing this and it improves your angles and shot selection.

not necessarily ... if the player playing after you is most likely to win, you need to play good position to make their life a misery ... otherwise, you need to either setup the next player on a ball you want potted or cannon balls safe or both ...

and you can take this further ... not just the player after you but the next and the next and so-one ... say I'm player (a) and there's also (b) (c) (d) and (e) playing ... and say (d) is the big threat ... I ideally want (b) and (c) out of the game so I can control (d) but one of those two out will help me ... (d) wants (e) out of the game so he can control me ...

killer, if played seriously, really is chess with balls ...

Just play with cards as it makes the game more interesting and you dont know when you go will be.

Blackball or World Rules. Basically any rules on an English table where you can't tap up.

the best trick in killer is u have two lives ur opponent has one

i think i had that one last ball on table i deliberately left a touching ball one life dies before two do

blackball for me, and I reckon 15-1 is break off and pot all the balls in any order without missing

[LittleMissAlexa]

worse version is bank for me i kinda prefer straight pool out of the mainstream ones
