Basic 8 ball played in USA does not require a pocket for the last shot. It's a very simple game. However people get bored with it and add things to make it more of a challenge. All playing conditions should be understood at beginning. Of course you have to call your shot on the eight

Exactly. I wondered why they call it Americano when, in my 55 years of playing pool in the USA, I could put the ball in any pocket as long as I called it in advance, and that was for every ball. With these rules it's no wonder you don't see much finesse in the pool hall. The longer you can keep them rolling and the higher you can get them flying the better chance you have of getting them off the table.
