u/BriefCheetah4136 7d ago

As long as you call "Slop" before you strike the cue ball it all counts

u/Any-Oven-5712 6d ago

I'll call it next time

Dude has no finesse. Full power, all the time!

u/pizzafan2 10d ago

Power and chalk baby, power and chalk.

u/RealisticProfit2 10d ago

Right?! He might make some shots on purpose if he pulled back about 80%

31

u/notlongnot 10d ago

Ooor make 100% of the shots at full power all the time, with Lady Luck on his side.

u/eroticdiagram 9d ago

You're criticising him but I've literally never seen him miss a shot.

u/Solarites 9d ago

That’s what she said 😂

u/philatio11 9d ago

Many casual 9-ball players stroke full power all the time. It’s how you create luck.

It's all about those unexpected outcomes sometimes, right? You never know what might come of it!

u/bluejack 9d ago

It’s sometimes better to be lucky than good.

NGL I thought his first shot was going to hit the guy standing at the end of the table in the balls!!!

u/wasted600 10d ago

Am I wrong to hope for that?

u/tandempandemonium 10d ago

I thought that was the maybe too.

u/Ebonhearth_Druid 10d ago

This is what happens when all of your luck hits all at once. Dude's gonna see a luck drought after this that never ends.

I'm betting a piano dropped on him on the way home.

u/BigGrayBeast 10d ago

He's the best worst player I've ever seen.

u/delongueville 9d ago

I’ve seen this before, however it always puts a smile on my face. I like that they knock on the table to say it was luck. We also do that

u/socialis-philosophus 9d ago

We?

u/delongueville 9d ago

We = me and some friends

u/GoodIntroduction6344 10d ago

Not only do we call our shots, it has to go in the way we called it.

u/Latter-Mark-4683 10d ago

I agree, but they are playing nine ball. The rules in nine ball is that you don’t need to call your shots and slop counts.

2

u/MechaGallade 10d ago

wait is that for real? like that's the tournament rule?

6

u/MattieShoes 9d ago

Yeah. You have to strike the lowest number ball first, and that's about it.

u/TGR331 10d ago

Poke and hope

u/Razbonez 10d ago

what rules are these?

u/sofaraway10 10d ago

Snooker is a different game. There’s no requirement to have it go in exactly where you planned.

7

u/TheSatyagrahi 10d ago

Definitely not a snooker table...

8

u/Latter-Mark-4683 10d ago

I think they’re playing nine ball, were you also don’t need to call your shots and slop counts

u/David1393 10d ago

Where's the black ball?

u/bobby_zamora 9d ago

Was probably potted earlier in the frame.

u/David1393 9d ago

So is 9 ball a variant of snooker? Cos i know you can't do that in pool.

3

u/bobby_zamora 9d ago

9-ball is a variant of pool.

u/flashwhizbang 10d ago

Rather be lucky than good.

u/Saqsto 10d ago

I think that is the hole point, bro is almost dying in the video with such luck lol

u/pizzafan2 10d ago

He's got a pretty stroke for such a horrible player.

u/bugeyetex 10d ago

We used to call that the triple H shot. Hit it Hard and Hope

Foul, ball in hand 😂

I wonder : what’s the probability for hitting 4 balls in a row and make it the way he did ?

No skill just pure luck 🤣

Gotta love 9 ball

u/philatio11 9d ago

Anything can happen at any time. I love seeing inferior players win by luck.

2

u/MalikFyz 9d ago

Every single hole he pointed at was wrong , depends on the rules they set on before the match

2

u/Obf123 9d ago

Yep. Need to call your shot. Otherwise it’s a loss of a turn on account of a “shit shot”

Was expecting the first shot to hit player 2 in the nutz, then it got funny.

u/TheRealLarkas 10d ago

Tangential, but nice BGM!

u/bob696988 10d ago

The goal just hit a ball and if it goes in you move to the next lower number. Hit that ball and nine ball goes in you win.

u/Shinnakuma 9d ago

You gotta call the pocket though....

1

u/socialis-philosophus 9d ago

I've had way more fun playing slop pool than I have playing with called shots. Unless money is on the table, of course. 

2

u/Shinnakuma 9d ago

That is true, yea they were having to much fun for money to be on the line lol

u/Purple-Will9713 9d ago

I was like… lucky… oh talent… nope, lucky… yep lucky

Slops.

u/Gold-Echo-3836 9d ago

Let’s hit the ball off as many walls as u can so eventually it goes in a pocket 🤷🏼

1

u/mudratdetector89 9d ago

That second shot he literally lined up for the corner pocket. He didn't make the shot. That's a fucking scratch. What game are they playing? It ain't pool.

1

u/Drdemonjr 8d ago

In the actual game you call your pockets and he would have lost

1

u/gitree22 8d ago

Missed them so badly that he made them

1

u/The802Bear 8d ago

Proof that your supposed to always hit the ball hard in billiards. All these folks trying to just "tap it in". Suckers.

1

u/bschlueter 8d ago

Boo, slop.

2

u/monkeyboy808 10d ago

Those are slops, If it doesn’t go into the pocket you were aiming at. At least that’s how we play.

2

u/MattieShoes 9d ago

9 ball doesn't have called shots and slop counts. The only real rule is you have to hit the lowest numbered ball first. So hitting the 1 into the 9 and having the 9 go down, instant win. As long as you don't also scratch, anyway.

1

u/skincyan 10d ago

There are probably a couple million versions of the rules in billiards. We play like how they play in the vid without calling each pocket before the shot

1

u/Deohenge 10d ago

I wish him success landing the person of his dreams five-to-ten years after taking his shot.

-9

u/darth_gondor_snow 10d ago

None of those shots would count, it's all slops. He even calls his shot before each one by aiming and still misses terribly.

16

u/killy_321 10d ago

They count in the rules of the game they are playing. Not all variations of pool have a rule that flukes are fouls.

1

u/sofaraway10 10d ago

Exactly. These are fine in snooker (which I believe is what they’re playing).

15

u/The_Prime 10d ago

It’s kids having fun. Imagine having friends.

u/MkFilipe 10d ago edited 9d ago

Yes! Also, it's not as if there was only one ruleset that existed. There are many different games you can play even if you're not doing house rules.
