Thats correct Doc...I think Blackee may have been confused. Scott doesn't get to pick the balls...Ricky does.gulfportdoc said:Am I correct in assuming that the guy who just broke is now allowed to remove 4 balls from the table and put them into his tray? Then it's the opponents shot?
Doc
androd said:4, 11, 10 and ? maybe the 12. I kinda like him drawing off the 12 ball.
Rod.

Assuming Ricky just broke, and gets his 4 picks, then he (Scott) shoots,...I would advise him (Ricky)...to pick the 11, 6, 4, 12. (unless the 5 is dead in Scott's pocket)...then you would have to re-think it a little.
You are taking a few balls from your side, but you are opening up your banking lane, and severely limiting his safety options.
Ricky has to do all he can, to try and get a few balls, and keep Scott from getting control of the table, for as long as he can...not always an easy chore for a much weaker player.
PS..Other than the hi $$$ comfort zone, from what little I've seen of Ricky's game, (Just a few video's from last years DCC,...cannot remember who he was playing)... I would make Preacher Ronn the favorite over him. JMHO--ICBW.
SJDinPHX said:Rod, not a big deal, either choice, but isn't the cue ball froze (or almost ?) Not an easy yank, down to safetyville, (behind the 13) from either the 10 or 12.
I sure don't like leaving the 12 there, and letting him fire it, one rail at the stack...and plant whitey on the end rail (or worse yet, play a 3 rail safety off the 12....(if he feels desperate)... By taking the 6 too, he is kicking or lagging safe for sure. (I think)
wincardona said:I like 4,11,6, and 2 .I agree with Rod, let him draw off the 12 ball and wish him luck, he'll need it. Secondly the 12 and 10 ball are relatively out of play for Frost, if there going to be moved let him move them. Thirdly by picking the 2 ball you take away a possible winning shot from Scott, and you open up the pocket for the 3 and 5 ball which he will have to defend against.
I would try to take away balls that are easy for Scott to pocket, and would certainly try to not pick the ones that would be difficult for him to score. Especially balls that are positioned high, or fairly high on , or near my side rail. Like the 10 and 12 ball.
SJDinPHX said:I enjoy, (and respect) the different opinions on this layout. I also like the concept of a picture, rather than a WEI layout...seems more realistic, as you NEVER get to view a table layout hanging from the ceiling. (lets have more of these Rod, from maybe a slightly higher angle, if possible)
SJDinPHX said:At the risk of being overly sarcastic, (which I rarely do)...PJ, and about 4 other guys on here,... really need to get out more often...and play some REAL, live pool... (like Rodney, but even HE is getting on my nerves, with his camera phone...

androd said:Actually I don't know how the phone works although it has a camera. I do have a nice camera, and may take some pictures of pictures at the pool room to try and post here.
Rod. <--- sort of befuddled by above posts, must by my oldtimers or maybe Ducks ?
