    What happens when the opposing player puts their last ball in your last pocket? Where is their last pocket?

    I have found that this game is usually played by half drunk, poorly talented individuals who want to greedily hoard the use of a public table.

    Puerto Rico is a place in which last pocket 8ball is played a lot. If the shooter sinks his last group ball in your pocket then you in turn choose his pocket, it will still be his shot.

    In a game of last pocket if your opponets ball is blocking your last pocket can you knock in his ball first so that your 8 ball can fall in the same pocket? (I guess you can call it a kind of follow the leader type shot.)

    It was realy no help to me. I was trying to to find out when playing last pocket billiards, if I shoot my last 2 balls in one shot, do I get to choose which one is my last pocket or is it the last ball that went in?
