I kicked from in front of my pocket two rails and off the corner pocket tit to this spot taking a foul. If you were my opponent what would you do?

I'm no 1pkt pro but I'd try to thin the 3 and freeze you on the rail and the 10 ball locking it up so you'd have to contact a rail after.
If I was a 1pkt pro and could not get outa that 1 I'd have to get a job...

What's the score? My 0 to your -1?

Take a foul back and kick into the 3 from the long rail, freezing you [or nearly so].
 
I'd be amazed that you got where you did without going in the pocket or making a legal hit.

Kick lightly off the short rail, just skimming the 12, leaving the cue ball between the 13/15 and 14.

or

Softly masse the 3 a little up and to the right, trying to pinch the cue ball between the 12 and the rail.

or

Fire the 12 into the balls on your side trying to clear them out while drawing back in hope of making the 3.

It was a amazing kick.
 
I have no idea since I don't play one hole. BUT....I have the exact table in my man cave, with the washer and dryer like yours, and the same exact clock on the wall. I got it as a gift about 12 years ago from my girlfriends dad. Lmao.

Obviously there's only one correct shot, and it's super easy.

Just jack up, and hit the point on the long rail making the CB jump over the 3 to the other side, and then freeze behind the 9 ball.

Profit.
 
If I can get past the 3, I'm kicking to the long rail to the other long rail and try to float behind the 2....for a foul.

I like 3 fouls in a row by the same player is loss of game, btw.

this is what i'm thinking too
 
I don't know how close the cue is to the 3 but my 1st choice would be to forget hitting the 3, and shooting the cue ball off the near side rail with inside English so that it hits the opposite upper side rail past the side pocket with running English, threads between the 2 and 8, and continues to go 3 rails down table behind the stack on the other side of the table.
If that wasn't an option, I might try the same type of shot off the bottom rail in between the 3 and 12.
If you end up smashing into the 2 or the 8...OOPS!
But nothing is wired, and they still have to make the 1 and get shape on a lot of stuff that doesn't go.
Worth a shot to take a scratch like that.
You never know. If you nail it, the 4 or 5 railer might hit the 9 and end up being a legal shot.
 
I don't play one pocket but I watch it sometimes. I'd bunt the 3 and draw the cue ball into the rail near the 12.
 
thin the 3 with cue ball hitting side rail with inside english that allows cue ball to hit 2nd side rail where the english takes and the cue ball sides to the far end rail. i'll try to keep 3 on my side of the table and who knows u might get jammed up on the 2 or 8. if it doesn't work perfectly, then u go stack hunting and look for the dead combo and i believe u have one toward your hole.
 
Bunt to the side rail behind the 3 if you have room and take the foul. Try to freeze it on the pocket side of the three if you can but either side will work
