Be sure to read the rules before you begin playing bar pool. You should know the rules of 8-ball, Rotation and Double tapping as well as Assigning solids and stripes. This will ensure that everyone has fun and enjoyment. You will also be able to win if you are familiar with how to play 8-ball.
8-ball
Eight-ball pool rules differ from the rules for professional pool games. The rules for 8-ball pool are intended for the average player, and not the professional. You don't have to read fifteen pages of complex rules in order to play a pool game. Instead, they will help you understand the basic pool game.
There is no need for color-based racking in the eight ball game. The 8 ball must be the first of the three middle balls in this game. The majority of people will choose to put the one in the front. You lose a turn if you throw a wrong ball. A shot is not allowed to be called straight in or touched by rails.
Double tap
Double tapping, in bar pool rules, refers to the ability to double tap on an item ball by positioning the ball close to it and aiming for it. When the object ball is less that an inch away, a cue ball is very close to it. It is also known "sharking."
Assigning solids to stripes
Common ways to establish the style of a bar pool game are to assign solids/stripes to their rules. Solids and Stripes are the most common pool games. They are variations of eight ball. In a game of 8 ball, players use a cue ball to call most aspects of a shot.
Official pool rules also prohibit hitting opponent's objectball first. The player with the striped ball in his pocket is out of turn. A double hit is also when the player hits the cue balls twice in one stroke. This is called a foul.
Etiquette
There are many rules that apply to pool playing at a pub. Each bar will have a slightly different set of rules, so make sure you ask before you play. You might also ask about any special rules in effect for the next games. If there are any, it's best to respect those rules and play by them. This way, everyone can enjoy the game without causing any harm.
Remember that "dirty pool" is not an option in the WPA's official rules. Smart pool is the type of shot that's not dirty. However, some people consider defensive shots dirty. Others consider shots that have been intentionally scratched to be unethical.
