Obviously one of these players is getting ball in hand...
How would you play this, for stripes or for solids.
I just thought this might be amusing. I had to Photoshop three frames together to make the whole table visible in one frame.

FIRST!!!!!

You're kidding right?

Anyways, for solids run the 7 up the rail with backspin and shoot the ruddy 8 ball in. Stripes 12 in the corner closest to us, 13 in the other corner across from it, the other 13 in the side and the 15 down the rail to set up for the 8 in the corner.
 
Am I drunk or is there no 7-ball on the table? Solids, 3 slight draw or slight low-left, 1 in corner, slide down to 8 in same corner.
 
Yea, this is obviously just for fun...

Here's my take.

Solids: 7 in the corner and draw to shoot the 1 in the corner closest to the 8. Leave cueball on the rail and sink 8 in the near corner.

Stripes: 9 in either corner leaving straight shot on the 12 into the corner pocket by the 8. Follow down table to shoot the 13 back into the nearest corner. Drift cueball over to shoot the 15 into the corner and follow down for the 8.

That is if the 1 ball doesn't block the long shot on the 12.

My standard answer:

A stripe in the side is usually the highest trouble ball for run out 8-ball. Get rid of it early and the out will be less complicated. This pattern fits that strategy.

I think it's rather obvious and straightforward on what to do here. You shoot the 9 in the corner with a stop shot. You then use a lot of high left and shoot the 12 into the 13, making the 13 in the side, and the 12 caroms off the 13 to go into the opposite side corner. The cb then follows down to make the 15 in the same corner. The cb rebounds off the rail after hitting the 15 in and goes into the 8. The 8 jaws the pocket and now you have an easy shot on the 8. Put your foot up on the rail, put your cue under your leg, and tap in the 8 while whistling taps. Game over.

This sounds like some 3 ball shots I've seen attempted.
 
Looks like a really rough, dangerous, crowd....scratch on purpose, concede, pay everyone, and get out of Dodge while you can still walk. Don't come back. :wink:

This may be the greatest "how to play this" thread ever.

I feel sorry for anyone that starts one after this.

In fact... Yes... I do think... Simpsons, combined with pool... you have found the one true "greatest thing since sliced bread". Geometry, nuclear reactions, reality TV, all those things are just a stale french loaf on the side of the road in comparison. This table layout could equal the wheel in future generations.

9ball in the top right corner, twelve in the side under his belly there rolling up just a bit for the 13 in the other side pocket, 15 ball in the top left corner, 8ball in the bottom left corner closest to it.

If I'm solids, 3ball top right corner, 1ball bottom left corner, 8ball same corner pocket.
 
Stripes: I don't like the 15 as they key ball. You have to be too straight in to make it work and the side pocket and the 7-ball hamper that. I play the 15 first, placing the cue ball with just a little angle, and draw back a little to get straight in on the 12 for the lower right corner. Shooting the 12, leave the cue ball with just a little angle on the 13 in the side. Come off one rail, leaving a fairly big angle on the 9-ball. Shoot the 9 in the upper right corner with a little left to gently come down and hit the rail about where the 15 used to be and bounce off a little. 8-ball in the lower left.

Solids: Placing the cue ball with just a little angle on the 7. Play the 7 in the upper right corner, and draw back a little to get about in the middle of the table. One ball in the lower left with the cue ball coming down to gently bounce off the foot rail a little. 8-ball in the lower left.

So it's Barry in the white shirt, Rempe seated.

Mike Dechaine to Barry's right?

The guy at the table is Shawn Putnam after gaining a few pounds and growing a pony tail?

The guy on the far left is obviously Danny Harriman.

Now the guy behind Shawn, I have no idea who that is.
 
Here's a DrawShot of this scenario...

On stripes I'd prolly start with the 9 in the top right corner and shape for the 13 in the side. Run it up a tad for the 12 in the same top right corner with enough stroke to get straightish on the 15 without flirting with the 3.

On solids I'd be tempted to start with the 3 but after looking at it I think it might be easier to draw the one to get straight enough on the three to draw again. I like to draw. =P
