Knight Plug Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Can you pot the 9 on the break, on a real table? I like to play it online as well. But sadly, Miniclip is ending soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight Plug Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 I want to try 6-ball. It is where you have to pocket balls on your designated side of the table. Like 1 to 3, or 4 to 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) I've done it before, but like @Crazycrab said, It's down to luck...

Pot a ball on break, and you've got two pots to clear, don't pot a ball and you opponent had only three posts to clear. The rack is only six balls and because it's unlike in 9-ball or rotation you don't have to hit the lowest numbered ball, you have multiple targets and less objects to block them so getting snookered on one of your balls is very unlikely. So it really would come down to whether a ball goes down on the break or not. Edited November 2, 2022 by Shagger Knight Plug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Plug Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 I like snooker as well. I used to play it in a venue called the Ball Room. But it's harder than pool. If you trail too far behind in points, you have to make your opponent carry out fouls, then attempt to pocket the balls in a certain order, ending with the black ball, which is worth 7 points. The table is massive too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 It all luck though, but if you are a really good snooker player you could do that easily. I am still learning how to play and hopefully I get better as the day goes by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I have never played it before to be honest, I've only ever stuck to 8-ball pool. Having said that, I assume it'd take lots of skill and luck as well to pull off something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I have a few times played 9-ball pool and I will admit, even though I don't always intend to get the 9-ball in first, I will admit that I have on a few occasions had it happen. I now tend to play 8-ball pool on my phone as it is not a mobile app which you can play 8-ball and 9-ball pool by MiniClip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens to the best of us...Usually when I'm trying some ridiculous trick in pool, I end up sinking the 8-ball. Like, how unlucky can one be?
