Lets see it was 53 - 0 ( I had 0 ) for a "Benjamin" a game... Eh, you're probably right, I guess I could have played for more...

You mean, you played the bank?
LOL, that's just awesome..
With that layout on a familiar table the 1-rail bank is a gimme - and a silly hot dog shot.
What's not to like?

And POCKETED IT
Both the ball and the Benjamin

Puts you to the west side of that side pocket? Seems some peeps don't like that!?
They pull you back in !!
Which is preferable to being pushed off :shrug:
I tried...LOL.. greenie for you!!

You got balls, sir.....but I'm still not playing the shot.
I'm calling it the third best option.

Coos Cues
You can try all kinds of crazy heroic stuff if you're just banging balls with your buddies.
If there is any meaning to this game whatsoever, only a fool would not play the easy safety to the short rail behind the 8 and 10. The idea of banking this ball to get easy shape on the seven is not a winning mentality. Not over time.

You're probably right BUT as PJ stated, this shot IS a gimme AND the best option for those who can stroke it correctly IMO. I've made it before this and I'd shoot I again in a similar situation for any amount on the line.
Skins ------------- isn't afraid
That's what I would do. But then again it depends on Game count. I I am down I may play the higher percentage shot. Never know when that tit will get in the way.
I honestly think the 3 rail position shot is a higher percentage play compared to banking the 6b.
I'm going 3 -4 rails on this layout every time. It doesn't look hard to go through the 10 - 11 gap (cheating the pocket as much as poss to the left helps miss the 11) and the cue ball path takes it underneath the 12b.
It appears to be a perfect pathway to a 7b played into the lower left corner.
At the end of the day we have to shoot what we're most comfortable with.
For me, I'm putting about a 65% success rate on the bank and maybe close to 80% on the 3-4 rail cue ball position play.

Since we are talking fantasy type shots, bank the 6 to the bottom left corner with extreme low right. CB draws between the 10/8 to the end rail, where the right hand spin carries you two out of the corner, between the rail and 12 ball...... down for perfect position on the 7.
Yep, thats what I would do.......... :thumbup:
