30 Ways to Beat a POCKET BLOCKER

[chefjeff]

I got "beaten" by a player this way:

My ball's blocking a pocket. He scratches. He reaches down to the cue ball retrieval hole, grabs the cueball and prepares to hand it to me. He drops it and it rolls away from the table. I reach down and get it to take ball in hand.

My ball is no longer blocking the pocket as it was. I'm like, "but I thought it was..."

Not fair or legal, but it worked....once.

Thank you for sharing that. Maybe I need to do a "Top 10 Dirty Pool Tricks" video.

If I do, I'll be sure to include this scenario and others like it.

Can anybody think of any reasonable blocked-pocket shot options that would have been good to include in the video? Whenever I do long-list videos like this, I often overlook some simple options.

Anybody else have any ideas ... simple, advanced, or dirty?

Thanks,
Dave
