Not sure if any of you are familiar with 3 cushion billiards, but here is a true example of "Billiards"

It is just a billiard table, not pocket billiards. The game starts with 3 balls on the table. One object ball and two different colored "cue balls", one for each player. The object is to drive your cue ball into the object ball, carom the cue ball off of three or more rails and come into contact with the other persons cue ball. a person wins when they reach a certain set score.

3 cushion is one of the hardest games out there next to maybe 1 pocket. the objective sounds damn near impossible but watching it in person is impressive as hell.

I believe it is truly the hardest billiards game, maybe snooker, or the russian billiard game. But it takes by far the most unique talent, ability and the creativity that blows it past any other game. Patience is a virtue, but most people wouldn't have the patience for games like these. The last few years i picked up the games 1 pocket and straight pool, played in the Reno open last month. Anybody else make it out to play pool?

I've played Russian Billiards... that is hard as hell. The table is huge and the balls barely fit in the pockets... I think one game took us about an hour+ just to finish one game.
