[Cowboy Dennis]

It's game 5 in a race to 3. Palmer just broke & it's Efren's shot. What would you do?

Don't see much to do here. Is the 10,14,2,5 wired?

I know all the answers

thin the 9 to put it down on the rail and 2 rail in behind the 11 pushing it into the stack and getting the cb up by the 1 ..... piece of cake.

Carom off the 9 into the long rail then into the stripe. 9 may knock the 5 out a little.

Providing he can't do anything with the 9 ball I like shooting the 12 ball (white colored ball) into the 11 ball hoping to move both balls and either send the cue ball into the rail then into the 1 ball, or possibly send the cue ball around the 1 ball 4 cushions ending up near the 6 ball positioned on the foot rail.

This shot seems a little high risk, but if hit well you can turn the break around. Playing the cue ball 4 cushions around the table off the 12 ball isn't a bad shot because the cue ball will take a safe route and quite possibly even pass the 11 ball safely if the 12 ball doesn't move it.

Both of the shots I suggested are predicated on being able to hit enough of the 12 ball to execute the shots the way they are explained. Possibly the shots may not even be available due to the position of the 12 ball.

I like it. It's about the only shot that might help your position.

If the 5 isnt wired, I like the 10-8-4 combo with the 4 moving the 11 to the other side. Freeze the Q to the 14.

Looks like he could carom the CB off the 9 into the 11, or softly roll the CB off the 9 to behind the 6.

I like the shot.

Another option could be to move the one to your side and send the cue ball three rails. Pretty hard to sell out with good speed. You will get lucky fairly often and leave your opponent only able to see the 11.

Blackee's shot or ram the 5 and stick. You may knock his high ball away and if you cant improve your position you can minimize his position.

If I were reyes I would want some balls uptable, in 2004 he was favored against anyone in an uptable game.

Any way, you KNOW you are going back where you are and I like removing balls from my kicking path as I prepare to kick him behind it or kick it away. Another reason I like moving the balls up if I can....

KOUD,

You were so close & then blew it with excessive speed . Efren looked at the 10,14,2,5 combo very hard and decided against it. He went off the 9 ball and just about froze the rock to the 11.



Here's how he left it:

Dennis,Dennis, Dennis, surely you can do better than that.

Bill,

I do usually look around for something more interesting but they can't all be trick shots. I thought this was great because Efren left him no other ball to hit except for the one he's next to.
