It's Corey's shot. He's down 1 to -1. What would you do?

Cross the 8 straight back slowly and nestle it up against the 4... freeze whitey on the top rail and let the movin' begin....

If you've got the speed down, cut the 4 and leave the CB to lock up with/behind the spotted ball. That should leave no decent shot and moving the 4 down towards the pocket will make a re-hook tricky, while putting another ball in play for Corey's return to the table.
Other than that, cutting off the 4 and dropping the hanger to hide em in the corner.

Your second choice
Your second choice
I strongly agree with your second choice. You are two balls behind and all the balls are tied up. You need to put balls in play. Knocking the hanger off and spotting it up starts the opening up process. His only reply can be to work off of the balls that he is now next to, thereby putting more balls in play with no risk to you.

That is a good option, but if it is not hit perfectly there is a good chance you will leave a cross side on the 9... which your opponent, up by 2 balls, will no doubt take a swing at...

This is also what I'd shoot. He'd then probably roll the 1 ball in (helping me) and I'd thin the 7 and send him back to the headrail.

Yep... you're going to have plenty of chances to get balls back into play while playing safe to the end rail from here.

Ok,after I get done doin all that here's the shot...I'm not crossing the 8,It's on the kiss and If you miss the kiss It's coming out to the left and might leave a straightback.However I will just shoot the 8 straight on to make sure i don't get the double kiss and just roll the 8 straight down below the side pocket
as close to those balls as I can,being real carefull and let the cball fall on the end rail.That's what I would do.John B.

Not strong enough
Not strong enough
A. I wouldnt roll the 1 in helping you. I would bunt and make sure a ball didnt fall. There is nothing really wrong with crossing the 8 and putting all the balls together. However, my strength is to control the pace of the game. I can get the balls open and I can close up the balls as required. Here you want to open up the game. One of the strongest ways to get balls open is to get the cue ball underneath some of the tied up balls forcing your oppo to shoot them away and maybe into play. Thats why I would play Mr Bank's shot and knock off the hanging ball and spot it up. If I was bad luck enough to leave a cross side so be it. No matter what he does I will have the balls open jiffy quick after that.

Once one ball is on the spot it is often easy to shoot another ball off and with the two balls together, not leave a shot at either of them.

I'd like to try pocketing the 3 ball like this................
Should leave the CB stuck in the pocket pretty good.

That 4 ball is awfully close to the rail for that shot from that angle & distance. Easy to double-kiss and sell out a simple bank.

Yep, the kiss does look close, this is the alternate shot if you judge the kiss to be there.

I think it's a good thing that nobody here chose the shot that Corey shot & made. Now I know that we all know a little sumpin sumpin.
P.S. After he made this ball he played a safety that left the straight-back bank that Stone missed in my "Three Balls Twice" thread. Corey had to spot the 8 after he made it because he owed one. Bad thinking all-around.
