There seems to be some disagreement as to the best approach to one pocket.
Ultimately, whether you should concentrate on shooting or moving probably changes according to your opponent. Admittedly most players incorporate both strategies, and too much of one and not enough of the other is surely not the goal, yet players get categorized as shooters or movers.
I have played shooters that fire at anything that is physically makeable without regard for the consequences of a miss. I have played players that regard themselves as movers, who only rarely shoot at their hole.
So, here are my two questions. Do you consider yourself more of a shooter or a mover(use a scale of 0 to 10 respectively)? And, assuming an equivalent risk to reward analysis, what percentage of anticipated success is necessary (scale of 0 to 100%) before you will take the shot?
