    Coming up: Tony vs. Billy 8-7 - who's got the best of it here?

    Thanks for the replay. Almost like being there.

    Lack of specialists

    Your argument has just become conjecture. Nothing wrong with that - something to ponder at quiet minutes. Your post is still good. :unsure:

    Ray vs. Tom #1.

    I will bank the 1 ball and leave Jojo just about where he is now - straight in on the 15.

    Break-and-Runs in Old Time One Pocket

    Whitey, I would take issue with this. It seems to be a belief held by many players, and I would like to see a reasonable explanation for that. Maybe I am the one who does not understand. If you win the lag you will always be the breaker in a hill/hill game, regardless of the length of the race...

    WWYD from Philly - 100 a game

    I'm going to go thin off the 3 ball and go down to hit the 1 and knock down the 2 - just enough speed to let the 1 hit the short rail and leave the area, going my way. The 1 is a large target and the shot is not really that difficult. Go get 'em, Jojo! Ralph! Ralph! Bowwow! There will...

    Primo viewing - don't miss this one

    Ghost vs. Tom #2

    I like Jimmy B's shot - see his diagram. Easier to make on my PC than on a pool table, but I will take a cut at it. Primary emphasis on Jojo.

    Waat da peeps due?

    What's to ponder over? Roll gently to a ball and knock it down - needing either one or two.

    Happy Birthday, Warren Ruth!

    Have a fine day - spend it at the poolroom.

    San Antonio WWYD

    I will take a scratch, ala doc, but not all the way to the center of the head rail. I will push just far enough to protect the 8 ball with the 12.

    Victor vs. Mike #2 - end game

    First of all, Ghostie, there are not enough balls left on the table. :unsure:

    Happy Birthday, kid. I'm faxing you a piece of cake. Live it up today!

    Justin Hall vs Josh Robert's - 2016 DCC

    Thanky, ck. An hour of good one-pocket with some neat banks, especially in the first game.

    Quick WWYD while we wait...

    I'm with baby huey. Advance the 1 ball a bit and leave Alex stuck to the head rail. Jojo is king for the moment. A WWYD with all the balls still on the table gets lots of discussion - the name of our game.

    The GHOST

    What Would You Do? They all want to know, but why should I show them the best way to go? Let 'em go on and wind up in a pickle, they should have remembered Dame Fortune is fickle. They're walking a tightrope the moment they post. So what would I do? I would query the Ghost! :LOL:

    The GHOST

    What a great thread! Neat poetry and even a rhythmic limerick. My cup runnies slap-dab over - don't stop now. :D

    Mike vs. Victor #2

    After a bit of study I discovered a great shot that had escaped everyone's attention. It moved a ball to a position near my pocket and locked Jojo up against the stack. I felt a bit superior for being the only one to find it. But just before pressing the key to post it I realized I was looking...

    Mike vs. Victor #2

    I'm banking the 4 ball. I think 'wired' is a strange word for a combo that is fifteen feet from the pocket and has a gap in it.

    Tossing my derby into the Derby discussion …

    How much would the scheduling benefit if buy-backs were available only to the third round? They are popular, of course, and add a few bucks to the prize fund, but are they not a great part of the annual timing snafu? Try to imagine buy-backs in any other sport - there are none at all. A matter...

    Tom vs. Mike #2

    I will bank the 1 ball at the 8 and park Jojo right there. Whatever happens is okay with me.
