Gotta try to get PT to smile...

Huh?? I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. When I said this : Sometimes whitey rolls all the way up table and the lone OB away from the stack is now Behind the stack. Now you have to kick, get a rail after, AND leave them SAFE. ,I meant your opponent would do that on an...

Best if you know the table and/or the player to give the low percentage shot, hope you execute it perfectly, and cross ya fingers. You NEVER want to be the FIRST to take an Intentional foul as it starts a safety battle and you get to 3 foul FIRST.

You Sir, get the Platinum award for this thread! Safety play and Rack management are supreme elements to master in straight pool. I have a bad habit of being tempted by the "cutsie" shots. Trouble with them is: there is nothing to play afterwards. Knowing a safety trap is key. Your brain...

You know as well. I came over from Rotation pool, so E-1 knows I'm a shooter, can play position, and work the Banks well. To answer other posts here: Straight Pool & 1-Pocket are entirely different from 8-9-10 ball. You miss just once; ya gonna be sitting in ya chair for awhile. Players I'm...

You know EXACTLY what i'm talking about.

I have peops living near me that love these!
