could play sunday afternoon after the quiz if anyones interested.

theres a rileys 5 mins from casino and as bedfordshire county pool association secretary i can get us the 2 tables free of charge.

we could have a match between the itb boys and a blonde made up team.

i think theres 6 itb boys attending so we could play a 6 aside match with 6 singles and 3 doubles games. say best of 3 each match.

we usually play world rules but are happy to play any rules agreed.

just to even it up wager wise we will give the made up team 2/1 to beat us.


so get 6 of you to definatly play and its game on!

Pool's a great game for groups in multiples of 2.

If you ever have 3 people though and you don't fancy playing alternately, there's this cracking little game called cutthroat. You need to have numbered balls and pockets you can recover the balls from too ( or the old plastic cup in pocket trick)

It's also great for betting.

Ok so each of you have 5 of the 15 balls. One player 12345, next 6-10, next 11-15. These are your balls. Your job is to make sure your balls stay on the table whilst potting your opponents balls. Once your balls are all potted you are out (although you can come back to life)

If you foul, your opponents both get to retreive a ball from the pockets (if there are any down) and place it as close to the black spot as possible(moving toward the top cushion if there's a traffic jam) The next player can put the white ball behind the line a la pool but only gets one shot.

You can hit and pot your own balls for strategy purposes and your break continues till you fail to pot or foul.

The winner is the last player with balls remaining on the table.

I was playing with mates for a quid each a frame if you won with one ball remaining and an extra 50p from both players to the winner for every excess ball. So if you won with all 5 you'd get £2+£2+£2. Obviously you can alter the stakes to whatever you fancy.

It's a lot of fun because there are guarenteed arguments about "teaming up" and stuff like that. Win a few in a row and watch the other two go hell for leather trying to pot all your balls next frame.

I worked out a succesful divide and conquer policy when I was playing!

Just play Killer. £5 each, £1 penalty for a foul.

(Again, beermats down the pockets needed (or the table key )

mext to break pays the table charge in killer
