Any pool players here? Made my first 8 ball on the break tonight. Been practicing this break for a few months. Finally paid off.

If you make the 8 ball on the break isn’t that an auto loss?

Auto win. At least in our league.

Oh damn yeah, just googled and it looks like the standard rule. Guess me and my friends have been playing wrong our whole lives 😂

😂 Yea bar rules can vary wildly which is what I have been used tom most of my life. If you you make the 8 AND scratch that's an auto loss.

Shouldn’t it be an auto win? Lol.

It is. 🥳

Repeatable?

Yes...sort of. From my understanding there is at least one break that increases the probability of making the 8. It is a high risk/high reward break. It still doesn't happen often once you've got the break down but there are arguably other benifits to this break as well.
