Masse Move To Get Out Of A Trap

[lll]

steve ill post a couple of the situations rafa was put in and what he shot
if his cue ball control was one forr or inches better dont you think he would have trapped sylver from a bad position??
yes he left the q alittle short so sylver could squeeze harder

first i have a question???
who are the people sitting with scott???
second question
seems like there are alot of seats available
why do you think he chose to eat his pasta directly in the view of where rafael would be shooting
just asking

I submit for the record, that your statement is impossible.

he has no hair to straighten

for sure that is Bartram

Larry.... I believe that Scott must have bet on Sylver, that's why he's sucking up noodles directly in R.M's view. I believe that he sits in a predetermined position that him and Sylver agreed upon and only does the noodle suck at strategic times. I also believe that Bartram was paid to sit next to him, and lean over to talk to him at opportune times, to make R.M wonder if they're talking about him. This is a well tested move, that has worked for hundreds of years.

That's the way I see it, but I wasn't there, so I could be wrong

So Raf apparently shot that same masse route two times -- at least -- so it must be something he has practiced. He knows how to stroke it and he probably has a certain spot he aims at on the long rail too. That situation certainly does come up a lot in One Pocket, and since he is elevating for the masse anyway, what difference does it make that the cue ball is frozen to the rail and another ball, lol!
