vapros im not sure you could count on getting all 3 balls out of playvapros said:I see two possibilities here. I might bank the 11 and freeze the cb against the pink.
However, I might shoot the 2 into the 9 with some velocity, hoping to clean out SVB's corner, while taking the 13 out with the cb. That might be pretty sweet if I do it well.

On my next turn I will also be in the stack with no where to go. I would gently kick the eight over like this using a slight bend on the cue as long as I didn't have to jack up more that a very few degrees. From this position you can almost do it with a level cue.

petie said:Rod,
Do you think the 11 passes? Doesn't look like it to me. It's gotta hit the six or the 2, doesn't it? I was gonna kick off the end rail at the 8 before I saw Frank's shot. I like Frank's shot.
TonyG said:you can get the bank to spread if you hit it softly.
Chances are that Lee didn't have the angle to bend kick at the 8 ball so he had to look elsewhere. Lee may have even played to strike the 2 ball first and hopes to move the balls away from Shanes side, we'll never know.bstroud said:Here you see the result of a bad choice of shots. Your opponent NOW has 3 balls very near his pocket and can lock you up easily.
Had you moved the 8 ball when you had the chance you would not be in this situation.

BIG trouble for Lee.
