That type of advanced thinking doesn't line up with someone who is uncomfortable running out with a very BIH like position. I would much rather the 450 play safe against me than attempt the runout. This conversation will never end since we're all discussing a hypothetical player that thinks like an "A" player but executes like a "C" player.
....
I have never seen a C player that played A safeties. Safeties were so frowned on that I saw a few A players that couldn't play better than C safeties.

This doesn't make much sense to me. In order to apply percentages to a given situation one must possess aImagine if C players, while developing the rest of their skills, got into the habit of thinking like A players when it comes to assessing low-percentage and high-percentage opportunities. All it takes is knowing and acknowledging your current limitations, and developing the habit of playing within those boundaries as often as possible.

That happens when you get old too…..I'm a C player 480 Fargo and I chose option E. I can see run-outs I just can't execute most of the time.
Good luck with that there isn't even a good spot to ride the nine from. Not going to move it off the 6. Seven is too far away to really get it flying unless you can get around behind it. Even the cheesiest of nine ball riding lowlifes couldn't get lucky from here.I slept on it last night after reading a few posts under my last one in this thread. As mentioned before I thought about it day & night and decided to play safe.
Well that’s out the window this morning, I’m feeling kinda gambley today. So I’m blasting the 9, I mite luck it in somewhere.

PS: it’s impossible to look at a diagram and judge the pattern in this case. Put the balls out and see for yourself. There’s 2 correct ideas, the rest are nonsense on a 9’ table with tight pockets.
Trouble is our competition sees it too..................Thanks, and I agree....this place and youtube provide plenty of learning opportunities that we didn't have back in the 70's and 80's.

With the CB where it’s at in the OP moving the 9B isn’t happening you are correct.Good luck with that there isn't even a good spot to ride the nine from. Not going to move it off the 6.

This doesn't make much sense to me. In order to apply percentages to a given situation one must possess a
certain degree of knowledge, which most C players don't have. So taking what I highlighted above, these players are operating with a large amount of uncertainty lots of times.
In order to acknowledge your limitations you must first know them. They often don't. I also disagree with developing the "habit" of
playing within "boundaries". In order to improve, low level players should push boundaries relentlessly, even if the result is bad. JMO
One of the things the C player lacks is consistency. While a top player sees his ability as a pretty thin black line, the C player's ability is defined by a blurry line as wide as a cow path. There really isn't any getting around that the C player is a C player for all of his abilities including assessing his shot making. The C player with the smarts you are talking about wouldn't be a C player. Even an A player would have a very hard time calling the play of a C player simply because it is all over the place.

C players can easily learn to think like A players.
