One Pocket Situation

Sort of liked this option, Aaron posted first. I would ad that when making this shot, play the cue ball two rails and try to follow in the 3. The QB will be coming square into the pocket so the chances will be better for following in the 3. If you make the 13, your still shooting, if you make the 3 and scratch, the 13 will be on your side of the table, hopefully.

I'm not much of a one pocket afficionado, but what about this...

[If the 3 is too far into the pocket that it is "impossible" to take out, then I figure it's too deep into the pocket for your opponent not to follow the CB in if he doesn't hit the bottom half of the CB.

Therefore, freeze the CB on rail as shown. If he decides to shoot the 3, chances are he'll scratch.

Remind me to never bet on you when you are playing 1-hole!;)

If you leave your opponent like this..... you are a much higher percentage to get to the table again. There arent many possible out comes for an opponent who faces this leave.
He will either shoot it and make it without scratching. Make it and scratch. Miss completely, or take an intentional foul and spot up one of his. Assuming he doesnt want to risk putting the 13 in play for you.
Out of those possibilities.... and depending on his 2 rail kicking ability accuracy, he is about a 3-1 underdog to get out.

Your opponent's pocket is 'A'. He needs one, and you need two. Is there anything that can be done here? Do you just follow in the 3 and hope he misses the 13 with BIH? The 3 is deep in the pocket, a takeout is impossible. Do you go for some type of hail mairy shot on the 13?

The only 2 workable solutions that I can think of are 1. A shot Efren used once.
START(
%P\3O4%WP5P3%XZ9O6

)END

He was rolling it to the spot from a different direction when he did it. I would probably try to roll it on the spot and just a hair towards his 3 ball so he can't kick it in except length of the table. Like this:
START(
%CC9C8%HN5O3%Ma6E2%PO8O0

)END

2. The 2 rail bank on the 13.

It is pretty simple for me to get out of that leave and leave my opponent with no chance.
START(
%CC8C7%Mb2E4%Pa6D0%QD7A8%R]2_1%WE5E3%Xg7[5%Yr4O6%Zd9D9%[i8Z7
%\r9Q2
)END

You just nudge the 13 out and the cueball back to the rail.

I have one more question about this situation where your opponent needs one and his ball is in the jaws. I am almost positive that this is illegal and would probably get you punched in the face, but lets say this exact situation is on a table with bucket pockets (not ball return), and the incoming player takes a bunch of balls out of his tray, puts them in his opponent's pocket so it's full, and then hits the hanging ball so that it goes in the hole, but because the pocket is so full the ball flys out of the pocket and off the table? I'm not saying I would do this. Would that be an automatic loss of game/punch in the face or what?
