What would you do here... Part 3

I presume shooter's hole is bottom r) of pic?
Honestly, I'd prob punt...shoot the 11 into the side of the 6- either L or R, depending on which let me send cb overto good spot on other side of table.
Or I would rail first the 9 and leave cb upon end rail near that striped one. I don't really like the 9 there, plus it looks like we are playing 9-6 from this shot anyway.

An aggressive move would be to play the 14 2-rails toward your hole and the cue-ball 2 rails to his hole. At least getting under the 12 ball.
If I was to play the two-railer on the 14, it has to be high right at a speed...
...you don't gain enough on this shot....I have played it when I had a chance
of running out.
I like the 7-1-3 combo back into the pack ...high center-ball or maybe a
touch of left ( depending on conditions)....whitey will go to the end rail
and back to the Bark's hole, kinda reversing the situation.
I have NEVER screwed this shot up....on a keyboard...:smile:
The earlier suggestion from black-balled with the 11-6 might work but the cue ball is close to the rail so you may not be able to easily get the cue ball in a safe spot after the shot (over near your hole).
You could just foul up to the top of the table but I wouldn't put the ball near the 14. That might give you a free shot on the 12 with position if you make it. Instead if you hit the cue ball softly up to the end rail to the right of the chalk so that it's straight in or just off straight so if you make the 12 you don't have another shot and if you miss the 12 you will likely give up a shot.

Why not put the 14 back in play by making it and controlling the CB back on the end rail, preferable close to the six?
Definitely playing the 14Ball 2 rails at my pocket with the main focus on controlling the the cueball and putting it back on your side pretty much where you left it on my side.... Other option is to cut the 14 in if I am worried about truly controlling whitey and floating the cueball straight down table to get the same cueball position and to get the 14 back in play... If the 2 railer goes you can say g'night Gracie but that is a bonus as going all out on cueball is what is required.....
I would probably look at shooting the cue ball four rails to nestle in behind the 8. Maybe take a foul but not give up a shot.
12-ball makes that kind of risky, no? That 4-railer is a great shot when the other guy's balls are even closer to his hole, but less strong here because of the 12 and because it's harder to really freeze up on the 8.
BB's shoot looks safe and simple to me: hit the 11 ball with follow and clear the 11 and 6. Be sure to follow enough to not leave the opponent any sort of look at the 10-ball.
I would play a intentional foul by shooting the three ball 3 rails to end up by your pocket. Those who want to play the 14, that's a sellout shot, you give him a free shot if you miss. All he has to do is play the 12 an the CB comes down to lay about where it is right now. If you make the 12 you should be out. I would play the safe and hope to get a better shot next inning.--Smitty
All day. Cut it in and leave the cue downstream!
Hard to be sure from the angle, but I'd be looking for opportunities along these lines, see image. Or play the 11 full onto the 6, sending the 6 two rails to the 8, possibly making the 12 ball. Whichever shot leaves the CB in a safe zone.
The angle may not present, but it possibly will.
I like cutting the 11 off the 6, because even if it hits it thick, the 11 can hit the 2 or 3 ball and move a few balls toward the right pocket.

That is much like my suggestion, but I think the 11 into the top of the 6 is how the shot really lies. Cb to side rail, about where the black line you drawded is be sit.
And barkin makes us wait too long...damn microwave. 90 sec for hot water? Who can tolerate such delay?!
Im terrible at one pocket. I would probably just put some quarters in the pinball machine.
Yeah, I think so too, from how the angle looks, even if the 11 gets kicked to the 3 ball, so we can be sure to bump the 6 out and keep the CB low.
