A while back I believe it was Danny DiLiberto who said it, that in 9-ball when you are forced to push, most of the time you want to tie up a ball because things are probably not gonna go your way. What do you all think of this? It makes alot of sense. After you push out, if your opponent decides to take the shot then obviously there is something he/she can do with it, either offensive or defensive. If he/she gives it back, then they looked it over and just can't anything to do with it, or the shot is too tough, so in both cases you are at a huge disadvantage. I think this is very important to know when you are playing against strong players. Opinions?
