I just had a break & run. I used the 2nd ball break & potted two solid wing balls just like the textbook says. I ran the rest of the solids & then the 8. My opponent refused to put another 75 cents into the machine so I ran the remaining 7 striped balls for practice. At my level, such experiences are still memorable. I owe much of my progress to the generous sharing of knowledge on this forum. Thank you!
