One-pocket is a strategic game for two players. Each player is assigned
one of the corner pockets on the table. This is the only pocket into
which he can legally pocket balls. The first player to pocket the
majority of the balls in his pocket wins the game. The game requires
far more defensive strategy than offensive strategy, much unlike
eight-ball, nine-ball, or straight pool. Most times, accomplished
players choose to position balls near their pocket instead of trying to
actually pocket them. This allows them to control the game by forcing
their opponent to be on defense instead of taking a low percentage shot
that could result in a loss of game. These low percentage shots are
known as "flyers" by one-pocket aficionados.
