S. Mizerak vs. N. Varner 1991 L.O.P. Philadelphia Style

That's one of those that ended well but could have just as easily ended badly.
If the 10 ball didn't get covered it would have been easy bank and the other two balls also would have been bankable.

he did leave the bank.

Yes, he did, SPK. And if he hits the straight-back with draw, he may create another bank to his hole for a follow up. Still, he doesn't want to leave Miz a shot on the 6.

The two balls in Varner's quadrant must have bothered Miz, to where he insisted on removing them. But there were probably more bad outcomes from his shot than if he'd just taken a very makable straight-back to begin with. Oh well, I probably take the wrong shot 25% of the time myself...

I guess The Miz wasn't intimidated by shooting over the stripe, as clearly there was ample room to set a bridge and ample room between the stripe and the cb to execute with accuracy. Plus, he picked a much harder shot to execute accurately than I proposed.

The shot he wanted was there and he figured out how to make it, instead of letting a weasel in his head talk him out of it. Nicely done. The Miz was always one of my favorite players.

Mizerak did the ole double-takeout shot. He hit it pretty good, all things considered:

He left it here for Varner:

Good double 3 railer shot to keep in mind if that is your hole up there where he shot from.

I guess I would have to lose from here, but I would shoot the bank with pocket speed and put the heat on Nick, or make it and win the game! I can see Nick now banking the ball straight back and getting right back in the game from here.

What planet are you from? What shot did he make? Poorly done.

1. Miz saw a shot
2. He executed it poorly
3. He sold out a bank
4. Wasted opportunity

The only thing you got correct was that the Miz was a favorite player.

Agreed. It was not a good shot choice in my opinion. If the normally very talkative, very opinionated and very argumentative co-commentators hadn't been so distracted by the Hopkins/Cook semi-final match(as this was) a table or two away I would tell you what they had to say before Miz shot this shot. As it stands, they had no opinion.

This shot could've gone wrong many different ways and he did sell out the bank.
