Billy, on your other option, how would that get RM out of the trap? The opponent is just going to bat the 3 ball away, and leave you right back behind the 5 or 14. Then RM would be in worse shape than he is now.

Dr. Arthur, I set this shot up and got great results with the shot. The way to play the shot is to hit the 3 ball fat and follow the cue ball softly into the 14 ball. The 3 ball ends up by the side pocket and you leave nothing for Daulton. The problem Martinez has is he's behind the 2 ball, any other place and he would have options, even the intentional option wouldn't be bad because Martinez has the best position, but he must get past this one shot.
The other shot with making the 2 ball and positioning the cue ball under the 7 ball hiding Daulton from the 3 ball is a big shot. From that position Martinez has Daulton in a lot of trouble.
