Almost...

[Muxy]

I almost won my first "big" matchup, it was in my local 9ball tourney against a fairly good shooter. It was Hill-Hill (8-8). He hooks me, (flukes the hook BTW)

And i am left with this.

.... after thinking a great deal i tryed for the 2 bank on...missed it oh well.

Anyone want to buy some cues

Well tell me what you think.

I would have played a safe and knocked the 8 ball right on top of the 7with a slight angle so the 8 wouldnt be dead then maybe he would mess up trying to safe you back! I mean if you going to give em ball in hand at least make it a little hard. But then I would have probably just left the 8 ball dead in for him so there is my 2 cents!

I'd have done the exact same thing, Luke.

I looked at my possibilites there Luke and David, but i can't recreate perfect the scenerio cause i bolted out of the pool hall in disgust. The angle was harder to cut the either into the 7.

Oh well many more years for me.
