What would you do?

That's a tough one. I would never wanna try for the run here.... but just for sh1ts and giggles, I'd say:
Make the one top-left corner with follow. Accept the longer 2-4 combo. Shoot combo to catch the edge of the 3 for the breakout. Hope for a shot and run out from there.
Tough. Tough.

Wow! This is a difficult out. I'm interested in seeing how you did it. I might be inclined to play safe to get the balls in better position or play the one- seven -nine combo.
I can see a couple of ways to run out but both are difficult and need excellent shooting.
These posts remind me that Jude created a monster
OK, I'll play: I would pocket the 1 in the far corner, draw the CB back for a shot on teh 2/9 combo. TRy to get the CB behind the 5 ball and use the right speed to possibly get the 2 ball to the middle of the end rail, should you miss the combo.
Eric >at first glance
well if the 3 passes the 6 too both corner pockets i would
play the 1 in the top right corner come 3 rails for shape on the2-4 combo
play the 2 in same corner
play the 3 in the corner by the 6 make the cb hit 1 rail to middle of table
play the 5in the corner as the 2-4
play the 6 in corner make the cb hit 2 rails for shape on the 7 then 9 in the corner
play the 1 in the top right corner come 3 rails for shape on the2-4 combo
play the 2 in same corner
play the 3 in the corner by the 6 make the cb hit 1 rail to middle of table
play the 5in the corner as the 2-4
play the 6 in corner make the cb hit 2 rails for shape on the 7 then 9 in the corner
Everything you say looks good untill you get to the three ball, It doesn't appear to pass the six ball. The three appears to be the key ball in this runout. Maybe a carom to pocket the six off the three is possible?
i wasent sure if the 3 passed the 6 so ii just ran the table if the 3 passed but if it don.t i would prolly play the carom
A runout would def. not be my first choice I would possibly hit the one off the rail into the mess of balls leaving the cue on the 7 and hope for something better if I got a BIH lol, but a run out would just be what was said before, 1 top corner draw back and go for 2-9 combo
the 1 does not pass for the corner for draw back u have too shoot it in top right corner an come 3 rails for combo an u have too run it out not playing combo
A good man always knows his limitations... for that, I play safe here.... or if goofing around I go for the 1-7-9 combo.
... I know I don't have good enough CB control to get a nice shot on that 3

I think Mikey was saying the same thing I was; shoot the 1 ball in the upper left corner(as viewed on the Wei table) draw the CB off the side rail and (hoepfully) straight on teh 2, to shoot the 2/9 combo. Either way, the 2 is going down table and if you miss the 9, the 3/6 cluster is no prize. Also, the OP didn't say you had to run the rack. More like "what would you do"?

Combo the one and seven into the nine cross banking it in the corner 
....
Ok on a more serious note if you are not playing safe which is a good option with the clusters then shoot the one with straight follow to about the middle of the table. Shoot the two four combo and in the process you will bump the five. Due to the speed the five will hit the rail and bounce out. I am guessing the four was left in a spot where you could cut it in the same corner using inside english to break out the three and six and then you got out from there.
Edit, while typing my post Neil posted how he did it lol.

Ok, hear me out on ball placement here. The dotted cueball is positioned where I'd want it to end up after the first shot, putting the 1 2 rails near the 9, where cue ball B is (cue ball B refers to the 1 ball). After that, I take cue ball A and knock the one behind the 3-6 and the cue ball on the other side of it. My opponent has a good chance to kick one rail after that first shot but if they miss I got 'em for the third foul. If they hit it I go to plan B. I'm not offensive enough to go for the run out on a rack like this. Not my style at all.
