Yesterday I played some snooker with a friend for the first time. Some questions rose:
1) What happens if a player pots a red on the break? Does he continue on the colour?
2) What happens if the ball on is a red, I hit the red and after that the cue ball accidently hits a colour and the colour goes in (both when I pot the red and miss)?
3) What happens if my opponent scratches and if I play from D I'm snookered? Can I let him play the shot?
4) What happens if I fluke a colour (pot it to another pocket)? Do I have to nominate colours or not?

Also I wanted to know are there some more beginnerish games at the sooker table? (Snooker is fine until we get to the part where there are only colours left, after that with relatively low skill it becomes a drag very fast).

Yes you are now on a colour.

This is a foul.

You have a free ball if you cannot hit both sides of an object ball (red or colour). You can nominate another ball to count as the object ball for that shot, so you could play the yellow as a red for example, and then continue with the break as normal.

If you are shooting with two colours close to each other you should nominate which one you are shooting at. If you fluke the colour you hit in a different pocket it is not a foul, but if you hit the black first and pot the pink for example, that is a foul.

Try Golf out.

Thanks.

That's that then.

Ball on is a red, I make the red but the cue ball cannons into another red and it also goes in to some random pocket. Is it a foul?

No, it's not. That should be 2 points for you.

addition to 3: If your opponent fouled, you always have the option of letting him continue. The free ball Wamy described is void in this case (your opponent has to play on a red).

I love Golf, haven't played it for years tho.

Anyone here play Crash?

Thanks for sharing this valuable information.
I'm also new into pool so didn't know the rules before.Now I'll be careful in Libertyville Gym future and never make any mistake like that.
