How should you set up pool balls in a pool table game before starting?
This depends upon the game you will be playing and the rules you are playing. For 8 Ball, under BCA Rules, the 8 ball must be in the center with a ball to its left and right, and 1 stripe and 1 solid in the two rear corners. Under APA Rules, only the 8 ball position is required. It is customary, but not required, that the 1 ball is always at the foot spot. For 9 Ball, the 9 ball must be in the center and the 1 ball is placed at the foot spot. For Straight Pool, the two rear corners must be the 1 and 5 balls. Although many people have personal preferences, there are no other required positions for the balls.
What are general bar rules when playing pool at the bar?
In the US, most bars post their "House Rules" which usually are a modified version of the American Poolplayer's Association (APA) Rules. The House Rules typically modify ball-in-hand rules, calling of a shot, and hitting the 8 ball. The link to the APA Rules is provided in the link below - Some examples of difference by House Rules are: APA Rules require calling the pocket, but not the entire shot - House Rules often require calling combinations, caroms, and banks. APA Rules do not consider the 8 ball "neutral", so it cannot be used as the first ball hit - House Rules may allow hitting the 8 ball first in a combination shot. APA rules require that you hit the 8 ball when it is your last object ball on the table, and a ball must hit a rail or be pocketed, or it is a foul - House Rules can call failure to hit the 8 ball loss of game.
