Shane needs to do something aggressive here or he will lose the game anyway.

Hard to tell from the pic but he could shoot at the 9 ball and billiard?

He could cross bank the ball near G's pocket and take out the ball on the rail with the cue ball? Very risky.

Need a better pic.

The shot I like is banking the 13 and going back down to where the cb is now, maybe a little to the left of there.

The other shot here that i'd need a better angle of the table to know if id shoot it is roll the six and play to freeze on those 2 balls near shanes side rail.

I am going to snitch something off for the sharp eyed and sharp minded. I am going to forego the deep inner reasons why. With the score as it is (5 -0), cut the 8 in with follow and go all out. Suffice to say that there are many reasons why one must do that, the score being the main one, but I am not going to go into all that at this moment. This is big time, last page onepocket.

I would shoot the 8 as described above, even as bad as I shoot now, against any human, and for any amount. Now think about how good Shane shoots and why that would be the last shot I would want him to take if I was his opponent.

Anybody want more explanation why, come to my house and take a lesson. Anyone who thinks the shot is too risky or reckless, or whatever, that's your loss. I aint gonna argue it with you.

I'm not shooting the 8 but I might shoot the 15 ball if it goes.

Looks like a almost full half pocket. :D
Rod.

We will soon find out. If he has a pocket Shane will certainly shoot the six, if he doesnt then he should shoot the eight ball, but he might not know enough to do that, and look to do something "smart."

My credo is, if you are way behind look to do something others might call "dumb."

That's what I generally do. :D
Rod.

I have to think Shane will shoot the 6 ball, pocket speed, if he has 1/2 or 3/4 of a pocket.. He doesn't HAVE to lose the game, from there, even if he misses... My second choice, would be Tyler, or Stroud's shot...The cross bank on the 11 ball..Even as straight as Shane shoots, I don't see him betting the game, on a shot as tough as the 8 ball..;)
