Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Select your favorite online games site to play pool online Just about every games site has a version of pool, but some are more realistic than others. A good example of this is a game on Grab.com called DDD Pool, which has cutting edge 3D graphics and pool simulation.
2. Decide which game you would like to play, if the site offers you a choice. Most offer 8-ball billiards, and some offer 9-ball as well. Some also offer solitaire pool, but usually it is more fun to play with a friend.
3. Challenge a friend to a game. Most game sites offer the option of challenging a stranger on the site to a game as well, so take advantage of this if you are alone.
4. Review the rules, if you have never played before. Some online games sites play pool slightly differently than in real settings. Make sure you understand the game rules before beginning play.
5. Begin your game. Choose either solid or striped balls. Hit the cue ball with your cue stick, and try to sink your shot into one of the pockets. Your turn is over when you miss a ball.
6. Win the game by sinking all of your balls in the pockets and then sinking the 8 ball in the pocket you call.
7. Challenge others to play another online game of pool.
