Cutthroat

The pool game Cutthroat, also known as Three Man and Elimination, is played by three players. The pool balls get grouped into three sets: one through five, six through 10 and 11 through 15. The first player to sink a shot that he has called that is, told the other players which ball he wanted to play gets to choose which set of balls to use while he plays. You win Cutthroat by making sure all the other opponents balls are sunk. The goal for this game is to keep as many of your balls on the table as you can.
