How to unlock the Pool Shark trophy

    You must take a friend or date to the 8-Ball on the map. The easiest way to get this is to face Michelle, she is an awful pool player. You can take Michelle on a date here too to work towards your Warm Coffee Achievement. Facing any of the guys makes it significantly harder as their AI is much better at pool.

    The rules of pool are simple enough:
    The object of the game is to sink all of your balls, followed by the 8 ball last. If you sink a striped ball first, you must only sink striped balls, if you sink a solid ball first you must only sink solid colors.

    You will foul and lose your turn if:
    You hit an opposite colored ball first
    You sink the cue ball
    You don't hit anything

    You will lose the game if:
    Your opponent sinks all of their balls and the 8 ball last
    You sink the 8 ball before it is time
    You sink the 8 ball followed by the cue ball

    The overhead view will make the shots easier and it will be a little easier to see where the balls will end up.
    If you are having trouble playing the game straight up one way to cheese it is to try and set up your balls next to the holes and leave them there until you have them all around the holes. This may cause Michelle to accidentally put them in for you. You may also get lucky if Michelle hits the 8-Ball in before she needs to, giving you an automatic win.
