Last night I was having a blast running out. I had picked the top left pocket for the 8 ball while I still had 3 or 4 balls left on the table. I knew I could be anywere from about the first diamond to the left of the side pocket to the top of the table and have a shot on the 8.
My last ball was at the bottom of the table so I figured I'd keep it simple and play for shap at the centre of the table, I landed pretty much exactly where I wanted, took a second to think about the dead shot to the corner and realized I'd need to hit it firm with backspin. Nowhere in my mind did I think about where the cueball was going to go after I shot that.
Bang, I heard a couple people say great shot before I heard more people groan. ugh!!!!!!! fail My opponent won with out taking a shot.
I hope I've learned from that, maybe you can avoid the same mistake too.
