I'm not much of a 1P player, but I'm trying hard to improve & learn this game (I run a league out of my local poolhall so I can keep learning).
I was playing a seasoned player last night & hit one of the best shots of my life. I've always been a decent "kicker" (purely math-based stuff), but I've learned a lot of practical knowledge from "Little" Joe Villalpando.
Below is what I faced a few shots into the game. After a mediocre break by my opponent, I was able to clear all balls from his side...and put most of them on my side. What you see on page 1 is the result of his bank to his hole.
I knew I had to clear the 4B, but didn't want to scratch so I went lightly into it.
My opponent responded by clearing the 10B from my side & sticking my back on the rack. Oops, I should have avoided that!
Knowing it would get worse from here, I decided to go for a clearance right now on the 4B. Check pages 2 & 3 for what happened.
