The kind you find in pubs and bars across the UK. You know the drill. Make sure that the black ball aligns with the black spot on the table. A coin toss decides who breaks. The winner decides whether to break or not. If they do, they can continue their break. Should they pot a red, they are assigned red and they go from there. Same with yellows. If both colours are potted, though — well, the player at the table chooses which they want.
This decision will be based on how easy the balls of each colour are to pot. The aim of the game is simple — pot all of your assigned colours. And then pot the black. Potting one of your coloured balls results in you being awarded another visit to try and pot another. Fail to pot and your opponent comes to the table.
And so it goes until one player has cleared their colours and downed the black. If you take a shot that misses one of your coloured balls deliberately… You lose the game. Snookers must be declared as such by a player and confirmed so by a referee where appropriate before attempting to escape from said snooker. Lag and Break : Play begins when a break shot is played from baulk. However, before breaking, it is necessary to determine which player executes the first break shot of a match. It is the player winning the lag who will decide which player breaks.
Two cue balls are used. Balls are placed on opposite sides of baulk adjacent to, but not touching, the side cushions. The objective of opposing players is to play their ball to directly strike the foot cushion before returning and coming to rest as close as possible to the baulk cushion. The lag winner is the player whose ball comes closest to that baulk cushion. A player may lose the lag if, for example, his or her ball strikes a side cushion or drops into a pocket.
The Rules of Breaking : The balls are racked as shown. The cue ball begins in hand. That means it can be placed by the breaking player anywhere within the baulk area. On breaking at least one group ball must be potted or two object balls cross the centre string. That is a line joining the centre points of the two centre pockets.
When two object balls fail to cross that line, and no group balls are potted, a standard foul is declared. If the cue ball is potted or driven off the table, then that too is a foul.
More about fouls and their consequences in blackball pool below. Any fouls on the break are ignored if the black ball is potted. If that happens the object balls are always racked again and the same player breaks. Determining Groups : In this game players do not nominate their group of object balls. The table is open after the break, and remains open until a player pots a ball or balls from only one group in a normal legal shot. The ball potted decides the group of that player.
However groups are not assigned if balls from both groups are potted on a shot, or on a free shot following a foul. Continuing Play : A player remains at the table while continuing to play legal shots, or until the frame ends. If a player does not pot any ball on a shot and no foul has been committed the incoming player plays the cue ball from its current position.

They are not at a loss if they do, because the other player only gets 1 shot. By Pool, I take you are referring to a game of 8-ball there are many variations of billiards games.
As for your question, there are a few different ways that a player can foul on the eight ball. When fouling, the advantage is that the next player has ball in hand, allowing them to place the cue ball into a favorable position. So I would gladly have the player just tap the eight ball, as it increases the likelihood of leaving the cue ball in a favorable position for me to win the game. Take a look at the rules for 8-ball to get some of the other specifics regarding fouls, etc. In case the rule above was violated, it results in a foul and the opponent is awarded a Ball in Hand.
