Billiards Supplies Tips and Info.

What’s your favorite billiards game?

There are many different types of billiard games. The two most popular games in billiards are Eight Ball and Nine Ball. These are followed by Cut Throat and One Pocket. Snooker is up there pretty high as well depending on which country you live in.

There is another game played here in the US known as Straight Pool or Fourteen and One. This used to be the most popular game. This game takes a long time to play and involves clearing many racks to end one game. This could cause a game to last a very long time. (Especially if the players in the game miss often.)
I think Eight Ball became the most popular game because of the bar room tables. There are 15 balls and all of them are used in the game. A game consists of one rack and can be completed in a reasonable time frame. (I have seen some long games with players who can’t make a ball.)

First of all, what is the definition of Billiards Parlor?

According the the online dictionary, it is a room where billiards is played.

This is a pretty self explanatory definition. The dictionary also referred to billiard room, billiard parlour, billiard hall and billiard saloon.

We here in Colorado never refer to it as a parlor. We will say let’s go to the pool hall, or let’s go to the bar and shoot some pool. Sometimes we will just refer to the billiards hall by name. (Let’s go to Side Pocket or Let’s go to Diamond Jim’s.)
I guess it doesn’t matter which name you use, they are all a room where billiards is played.

I ran into an acquaintance who asked what do you do with your free time? My response is that I play in a few pool leagues. My acquaintance Say’s What? I say you know, shoot Pool Billiards.

Sometimes people immediately think about swimming, gambling or a car pool when they hear the word pool. In order to save time and confusion, my normal response would be I play pool in a league, do you play pocket billiards?
