If my opponent is hitting well and playing proper safes I'm the weak one. After a game or two the level shows. How do we know their weakness? It'll come right out....
What game(s) are you playing?
I play one pocket almost all the time except at league which is 8 ball.
After a couple racks of one pocket, I have my opponent's skill dialed in.
In one rack of one pocket I will see safety play, shot selection, position play and banks.
And do they go for the low percentage shots.
If I'm playing someone for the first time, I may take a real hard long shot early for two reasons
#1- if I make it puts the fear in him on how he plays his next long safe
#2- if I miss it,it puts the fear in him that I will shoot long hard shots again also affecting how he plays long safes again.
A lot of one pocket play is getting into your opponent's head.
I play a guy that's a much better banker than I am so I'm real careful not to leave an easy bank, If I have no choice, I try to play safe where the bank is at an off angle.
Just a few of my thoughts, comments are welcome.
