Video games can sometimes help with strategy.  For example, it can give you ideas for how to run out a rack, pattern play, etc.  For the actual execution of the stroke, it does nothing whatsoever.  There are only three things that you as the shooter can control at the pool table: Angle, Speed, and Spin.  So, as I tell my students, "Cover your A.S.S."  The angle of the shot is already prescribed.  Spin is where your cue tip will contact the cue ball.  Speed control is actually more than 1/3 of your pool game.  All a video game will do is give you someone else's idea of what "slow" and "fast" means.  If I had to guess what percentage a video game helps your real game, I'd say around 5%.  There's nothing wrong with playing computer games, but don't make a mental link between them and the real thing.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

It depends on the game you are playing, but there are two very popular games played on the standard pool table.  Eight ball features15 balls one being the black eight ball, seven solids and seven stripes.  The object is to sink all of your balls (either solid or stripes) in any of the six pockets before sinking the eight ball.  A player may continue shooting until he misses a ball.  If a shot cannot be made, then it is to the players advantage to "hook" his opponant leaving the cue ball in a spot where a shot is difficult or impossible, thus regaining control of the game.\n\nNine ball is played with the balls numbered 1 through 9.  The object is to sink each ball in numerical order, sinking the nine ball last.  Each ball is worth one point, the nine is worth two.  In competative pool, players have to reach a certain number of points before their opponant. In tournament play it often goes by games won-like the first to win eleven games, as opposed to recording points.  A player may win the game early if they sink the nineball using the numbered ball they are hitting.  For example if I am shooting the one ball, I can hit the one into the nine and pocket it, winning the game.  Strategy is important in nineball, along with cueball control.  It is a great game to play to practice banking, hooking, and cueball control.\n\nBesides these two games there are other variations that can be found, and many bars have their own house rules. In an unfamiliar place it is a good idea to check what the rules are before play.

Make sure you have the latest version of YM. I have experienced the same problem when I play java enabled games over messenger ie. pool. I also notice that it happens when YM is running slowly. Most frequent when I play pool with my cuz. I told him to update YM and we dont have the problem anymore. It seems like a java problem between differnt versions of YM.\n\nMake sure you have Sun's latest java updates.

IT sounds like your ISP is using private addresses - even on your specific connection.  \n\nNormally - an ISP would give you a public address (from a pool they have) and your router would use a private address (and perform NAT - network address translation mapping protocols, ports, etc to/from the private/public space.\n\nIn your case your ISP is doing this (for their benefit - not yours).  If you do NAT yourself then there are 2 levels of NAT going on - yours and the ISPs.\n\nYou are right that you can't do the things you want (because of the service provider NAT) however if you read your terms of service carefully I am pretty sure that you are not 'allowed' to do this anyway...  ISPs do not like customers running servers, etc...  \n\nI am not familiar with games (I would expect a game to work through NAT - maybe they are blocking specific ports that the game uses... you should call them on this...)  Note however that I am talking about game client - not server... \n\nHope this helps!
