And let me explain pill pool. Before I begin, NO, it does NOT involve popping pills.
Okay, so, "the pill" is a small plastic ball with white numbers on them. It goes from 1-16. Usually people pull out the 8 and 16 because you don't need them. You draw two black pills and one red pill. The two black pills are the two balls you WANT/need to go in. The red pill determines the shooting order. In the shooting order draw, you want the "low" numbers. So you want to get the 1. If you draw the 15, you go first and so on.
Whenever you break, you want your numbers to go in, but you can't just go after your numbers. You have to shoot up from one to seven and down from fifteen to nine. So in this you want the 1 and 15. As soon as the 1 is in, you go for the 2; Whenever the 15 is in, you go for the 14. Whenever your numbers have been pocketed, you can go after the 8 ball. If you don't have a clean shot at the 8, you don't have to shoot at it. You can just b.s. it. and shoot at whatever ball(s) are up.
Whoever pockets the 8 first and has someone "keep them honest" on their pills, then you are declared the winner and we rack em' up and do it again.
Yeah... This is what I do with my life, haha.
But on the team 8 game during my 6-straight, I had to bank two, and backhand one. One of the banks I had to cover the entire length of the table twice. The cue ball was right up against the bank and the ball I was shooting after was right against, so I banked it off of the far end and made it into the back right pocket. I must say, it was pretty fucking impressive for a sixteen year old girl, yunno, being that my nineteen year old male cousin can't do it.
Fuck yeah. Tonight is good.
