Virtual Pool - Playing Frank [ASMR]

Relax as I try to win a Pool tournament match. Playing in a pool tournament for the first time is always extremely intimidating; intimidation and the feeling that a player is not good enough are why most people never bother to try. There is a lot of fun to be had sitting around at home or in your local bar shooting pool with friends and throwing beers back. However, for someone that wants to learn more about the game and further themselves as a pool player, tournaments are a key experience. What you'll most in that first tournament, is that the more skilled players want a challenge every time they step up to the table. They want you to challenge them. Many times, they will give you tips between matches, or even pull you over to a practice table and give you a quick lesson because making you better simply makes them better. The only draw back to tournament play is all the down time. Depending on the size of the tournament you may play in the first round, then have to sit around for twenty minutes to an hour before you play again. For the beginner this is a good thing. The down time allows you to learn the game from watching better players; a seasoned player will head to the practice table to stay warm. If this is your first tournament it may be wise to choose one that is held in a local bar. Tournaments in local bars are generally 8-ball, they only have around 8-16 competitors and all follow the same basic rules. Of course, depending on the bar, the rules may be changed slightly. It is pretty standard that in 8-ball tournaments, you are going to be playing by modified BCA rules. This means that you have to call your pocket (not your shot; if your object ball accidentally hits another ball but goes into the right pocket, it is still your turn). For any foul, such as scratching or hitting the opponents ball first, your turn is over and the opponent gets ball in hand. Ball in hand means your opponent can put the cue ball anywhere on the table. The rest of the rules are the ones that are often tweaked. Do you win if you get an 8-ball break? What happens if you scratch on the 8? For these rules it is best to show up to the event early and talk to the tournament director. They will explain all the house rules as well as give advice on other players. Like I said, pool players want a challenge. This is video 499 of this Channel.
