Worst low-down one pocket moves you have seen?

Interesting topic. I think I just retired for life from one-pocket tonight though. I'm giving myself the small chance that I may play again some day since I was playing tonight while I'm sick. My ears have been plugged up since I woke up this morning and, by this evening, I started to have minor vertigo-like symptoms. However, I still felt like I was okay to play so I'm pretty much sticking to the idea that I can't play that game a lick and I'm going to take the advice that I've given to so many suckers before me. I'm going to take a two week lay-off then quit all together.
 
I'm with you on that one Jimmy. I don't feel I can play a lick after what I saw this weekend. I watched Tony C. play a race to 2 In a one-pocket tournament. The whole match lasted about 8 minutes counting the flip, racking of the balls, and shaking of the hand. A jump/bank over the stack, 8 and out. A seriously long backwards cut on the only ball makeable- while the opponent's hole was riddled with balls.... another 8 and out. This was after he sat for about 2 hours waiting to play the final. I think everyone watching was thinking the same thing.... "I'm dumb, you are brilliant." For the sake of watching, I'd like to see Schmitty and him match up again.

Hmmm....let me guess. Does he know a fair amount about Cadillac's?! And are his chances of getting lost in Athens nil!?

You must be new to one pocket. In most games your opponet will shoot more defensive shots than offensive ones. That's why games last so long.

Not when I play!.......I rarely shoot a 100% defensive shot, unless I'm trapped. I'm almost always trying to move something towards my hole. I like the new school 1pocket vs the wedge type game, which is more boring than Grammas vacation slides!

...player "A" scartches in the pocket and then player "B" takes cueball in hand, puts it in the middle of the corner pocket behind the head string and "PUSHES" the cue ball into the side of the corner pocket freezing it to the cushion inside the pocket leaving player "A" nothing to shoot at and no way to hit any ball.

See sections 6.2 and 6.6
 
Tony Chohan won the Hard Times one pocket in Sac (the tourney director there posts results on onepocket.org) so Josh is probably talking about Chohan. Chohan plays excellent one pocket.
