Answer 2

I've always been a big fan of straight pool.  It's a great game to play by yourself.  Recently, I've been playing "bowlliards".  You can find rules to both in the BCA (Billiard Congress of America) rule book.  You can find rules for straight pool on the BCA website.  Beware though, you don't want to spend all of your solo time playing actual games.  Practice time should be devoted more to drills.  Playing games alone can tend to make you lose your competitive edge and your defensive game will take a hit as well.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

Answer 4

i always play nine ball by myself. its a good way to practise the hard shots and get around the pool table easier. u have to modify the rules a little bit but it all works out.

Answer 5

Try racing the ghost to 11 in 9-ball.  Break the balls, take ball in hand, and if you get out, you win, and if you miss, the ghost wins.  You can spot yourself something if you're not ready to run the rack (you only have to get to the five ball, for example-- adjust as necessary).

Hey, Johnny, I wear a shirt that says "Anyone in the world can get the last two."

Ha Ha, I wish.  Give me time...and a pool table at home-- that would help.
