Mexican pool
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mexican pool is a billiards game where your opponent calls your shot. One ball is placed at the center of each pocket, while the other 9 balls are put in the center of the table using typical 9 ball form. The cue ball is placed anywhere in the kitchen. The player who is shooting first may shoot at any of the four balls not at the kitchen end of the table. If he hits the 9 balls in the center of the table he loses. Subsequent shots are called by the next player in the rotation. If a player fails to hit in a ball then the game is done, and the balls are reset for the next person to play. The next player in the rotation would then call the shots. The game is won either by having a higher number of balls put in, or by putting all 6 balls in consecutively.
Perhaps this game is known by another name. Mastery of jump and bank shots is critical to winning this very challenging and entertaining game.
