What did he shoot?
one pocket sometimes means looking at the long run
since i can not even dream of making the shots described,i
slow roll the cue into the 14 ball,leaves him long and thin
i hope it freezes or gets on top
i might go rail first if i am not afraid of scratckhing in the pocket
then my opponent has to think or go for it
1) if he thinks and moves me into a trap,
then i probably lose the game but i have gained knowledge and
ask him to adjust
2
if he cuts the long thin ball and makes it
i have gained knowledge and lose the game and adjust
either way he has passed the IQ test I left him
Third if he throws up his skirt and does something stupid and fails the IQ test
I am faced with the pleasant,if not so normal position.of feeling good
I realize he either can not shoot or can not move
therefore I win the game and ask him to jack the bet
proudly exclaiming that I like to play higher when I have the nuts
Disclaimer
the danger of course is that he just made a mistake and
actually usually makes the shot he missed or is laying down a lemon as he has been told to go slow as I am an easy mark
In that spot,I usually go off
If you guys need any more help please post pictures

PS If one of you guys had this shot and either fired the 14
2 rails leaving it in front of your hole or made it and left me tough
I would wake up to the fact that I was out of my league and adjust and jack the bet
hoping that more weight on you would cause you to slow down
at the same time raising the bet,hoping you would slow down
again I have stepped into a pile of nasty using this strategy
then i always lose at least 6 games when the phone rings
it's the wife
someone has called her
"Don't you think you've had enough for one day"
But ,I can adjust and double up.says I
"Don't you remember what happens when you get beat,your game breaks down?"
but I say
"But nothing.You come on home those boys will still be there tomorrow
when you have had time to recover"
but says I
"You want to sail,go off,come on home Buddy(Buddy is the collie that I have a weak spot for) needs to go for a walk"
aw shucks,ok

I must confess...I'm a little disappointed that no one has considered ^
this solution.
Slipping off the 7 and getting back to the lower (right )pocket area does edit () to left hand pocket ..thanx Dean
not seem such a chore....
I'm going to set it up today.....I expect to succeed, even with one hand.

Yeah, I meant the lower left hand pocket...thanx....I edited
So now, what do you think of that solution?
...haven't been in your area for awhile.....
...but I got a feeling you would be a pleasure to negotiate with.....
....I used to love the game-making as much as the playing.....
....and you got some great lines...:smile:
but don't use any big words....I have an extremely low IQ
Next time I will get the picture of what shot was made. Until are next session I appreciate all the one pocket minds here. Ooh ya I will match up with anyone if it's fair. Free beer and pool time at my house!
Cut the 14 and leave the cue ball by his pocket...play mistake free One Pocket to win.
i think it looks too difficult for a player of my skill set
it would be good if you can do it
if it requires left english,it requires super touch not to hit too hard or end up in the side or corner
shot selection requires knowing your abilities
the better you shoot the more options
what looks good to you,looks too hard for me
in fact most of these solutions appear fanciful to me
because they require more skill ,courage,and ability than i possess
i must confess i have enjoyed this post
please come to dallas to play

I'm coming off the 2 ball and burying him under the 6....not at all aggressive, but pretty hard to sell something out. Then again, I SUCK!!
Well, I finally got to a table today, and set this layout up.
Playing the 7-1-3 combo wasn't as natural as I thought....I had to stun a bit with no side
english.
This was actually better, because you get more speed on the 3 coming back to the pack.
I screwed up the first two tries...(I was cold...gimme a break
)From then on, I was golden....I was getting near the 6 and making at least two balls
favor my pocket.......thus reversing the trap.
And that's what wins at one-pocket.....it's like boxing, stay in your opponent's face.
Most passive safties are just delaying your loss....
....I call them 'don't take my watch now, take it later'.

That shot sucks donkey dongs.
iF you make the 14 and don't scratch, he banks the 12 and has a 2ft zone to stick you in the other side of the stack.
Better reevaluate.
I can see that working. But funny stuff happens when you move lots of balls.Well, I finally got to a table today, and set this layout up.

I'd think there would be the risk of leaving a cross side bank.
Remember the score and the fact that you are better...spotting him.
Bingo! Try to lay the cue ball on the end rail. If it cozies up to the fourteen so much the better. Let him shoot from there! The nine on the spot is also good for you. I like shooting the shot that is easiest to execute. Why go for a big shot when you don't have to?
I like to play wild and crazy guys like you Colin. :wink:
Damn, my balled brotha. A head-squeezer like you should surely see the value of getting those 2nuggets out of there and putting Blanca on the opposite side rail...it is far from crazy and very easily executed.
But I do agree that making your man shoot from the splinter-board 9ft away messes with his head. Especially if he is jacked up a couple times in a row.
