I get high blood pressure everytime i hear the ref take that big deep breath

[TreborPaulson]

Love this, so many friends and random people always informing me of various “rules” that pros use and other “rules” just bar rules.
You’ve got a proper accent, so all these rules must be legit

[Notrichpeoplefood]

“Foul”
“Why was that a foul”
“I don’t want you to play anymore”

"Bulk" LOL.
It's "Baulk" BTW.

I actually hate this rule. I understand behind the line for a scratch on the break, no matter how dumb it is. But, why is jumping off the table on the break different?

[adamwiggins]

How good is this guy that he purposefully made the cue ball on the break.

[therealthreadkilla]

Notice how he's rubbing the cue ball every time he picks it up. A professional

[professoryorick]

cue in on break is before that second marker, cue off the table on break is ball in hand.

depending on scenario you might just rerack it too

[LikeigiveAFaboutU]

Oh i thought you could only shoot forward from behind the 2nd line. Didn't realize you could shoot behind you from that spot as well. ( not on the rail like that. But like in that area i thought you could only go forward instead of hitting one of the balls in the right corner pocket on that side of the table.)

[DukeTheRebel]

I guess that makes sense that they would have two different fouls

[Star_Spangled_Man_With_A_Plan]

Growing up we always played that if you scratched on the break it was an automatic loss and rerack

[Caleb-mfko]

Is “ball in hand from baulk” the same as US kitchen rules? ( behind the line, only forward, no objects in the kitchen )

[ligregni]

When I played (recreational) this was a direct loss of frame.

[RyanMK]

I’m trying to work out what the foul was, what you not allowed to break to pack anymore?

[ayalawad]

Where can I learn all the hidden rules

[celtic]

That's the only rule that has made sense. That doesn't feel like it was made up halfway through a game.

[beyondheaven]

We just call the Baulk foul here as Scratch, since we just locally play or nationally play in the Philippines (not being prideful), I have no idea why is it called a scratch instead of a baulk

[zanethind]

Why use the British pool rule for the damn American pool????

[Bazkook]

How ridiculous is it that jumping the cue ball off the table on the break results in BIH anywhere but pocketing the cue ball on the break results on BIH in the kitchen? Anytime the ball leaves the surface, regardless of whether it is jumped off the table or goes into a pocket, should be a scratch and result in a consistent form of BIH.

At this point you can't breathe with out it being a foul
