I've often thought about shots like this. When you are a top player and you shoot it AND don't scratch or get hooked, you on the hero side. When you shoot it, miss it and either scratch or sell out, you're a fool.
I also believe there are points in any game where you have a 70/30 against shot where if you make it you win, and if you make it you lose, where a safer shot prolongs the game and maybe gets you a win.
What do you think?
this is painful
Sure, that's the crux of the game. But there's extra value in getting out after a ridiculous flyer. Or even just watching those balls roll all around the table and do just what you pictured they would. (Even if it happens as expected only 1 in 5 times.) Have some fun! Depends on the stakes of course; at $10/game I'm shooting more of those than @ $100.
justin and fedor putting on a great show. 1-1
justin looking slightly stronger. needs one to tie it 2-2
won that and broke and ran 4. fedor needs a little miracle to keep justin from going 3-2
justin on the hill
and he's off to the races.. 3 banks
.. missed. 3-2 ball count
.. missed. 3-2 ball count
fedor just not banking as good today. justin needs one
fedor clawing back.. needs 2 for hill-hill
and drains them. it's hill-hill
and drains them. it's hill-hill
reminds me of 2024, jhall played great against filler until he dogged it. don't remember if it was match ball though
amazing and brave bank from justin on a near locked table.. leads 3-0
bit of a stalemate, table still tight
fedor makes a straightback (he has missed quite a few) after justin's scratch. 2-2 ball score
3-3...
3-3...

4-4.. man this is tight
justin wins!
Not a bank pool player, but when Justin pocketed the 8 that was hanging. Wouldn't it have been better to make it and scratch? Now you're down 4-3, but there's 2 balls spotted and Fedor doesn't have anything easy.
Seems like if you just pocket the 8 like he did, it's going to be real tough to leave Fedor safe.
