The most popular of the large variety of pocket games
are 8-ball, 9-ball, one-pocket, bank pool, snooker
and, among the old guard, straight pool. In 8-ball and
9-ball the object is to sink object balls until one
can legally pocket the winning eponymous ball. Well-
known but waning in popularity is straight pool, in
which players seek to continue sinking balls, rack
after rack if they can, to reach a pre-determined
winning score. Sometimes the pre-determined score is
61 where in the opponent cannot score more than that
pre-determined score.
