Hello...Several years ago my Uncle and I played "Texas hold-em billiards" in a small bar in Pahrump, NV. It can be played with any number of players and it reminded me a little of baseball. Each player gets 3 strikes until they are illuminated from the game. All the balls are used in the rack and when the balls are cleared from the table, the last player who was illuminated would re-rack the table. A player would receive a strike when it was their turn in rotation and they would miss a shot. The order in which the balls where pocketed did not matter nor did the choice of pockets. The object was not to miss a pocket shot and if you did that would be considered a strike, thus the example of baseball, three strikes and you are out. This gives the not so good players a chance to win the game. The positioning of the cue ball after the previous players shot is a huge factor. If the cue ball leaves the table it is considered a strike. Does anyone recognize the game I am describing? Is the game known by another name? I have a friend that owns a bar and would like more information/rules to review. I am trying to get her to open up a night of this type of tournament play. This type of tournament play makes it more enjoyable (for those of us who are not pool sharks) in winning a tournament. Thanks in advance for your help!
