Sorry Ghost?....you know, it would be really good if people posted responses that were matched up correctly to the right past posts, and what was actually said and posted...

#1. Sorry Ghost?...where's the Sorry Billy? - oh yeah I forgot, if you're an ex-champion, you and your opinions/posts get preferential treatment from people..
..
.......Sorry Ghost? - why? - no reason to be sorry to me - go back and read my posts -
I never said the kick was the right shot to shoot for anybody else...what I did keep saying and still say, is that it's a better choice then the just about unmakeable bank on the 4ball...
you see, it's, "Sorry Billy" that you should have said, because he's the one who did say/insist that the bank on the four ball was the right shot, period - and he also said that your roll-up shot was ok, but not the right/best shot to choose here.
#2. I also snuck over to the poolroom yesterday to look at the shot layout when I had more time to study all possibilities, and could shoot several shots at it....cuz when I looked at it on Friday, I only had a minute to look at it/show it because I had a game/appointment as soon as I walked in the door...so here's my final, well considered conclusions...
If I was in a
real serious game and had to choose the best shot here,
I would shoot your roll-up to the stack shot - I shot it 4 times, and 3 of those times I froze the cueball against the 4 and 8balls, leaving my opponent in an uncomfortable position...
I think it's hands down, the best choice here...
Last week, I chose to shoot the kick against Ike because...we were only playing for $30 a game, I was up a game, I kick pretty good 2-3 rails, if I hit it I'm probably going to run several balls, and I wanted to see if I could make it...
Now, in closing, and I say the following with all due respect to certain others
....
As for the bank on the 4ball, I still say, as several others have, including your Detroit crew...that it's a total stiff - highly
not recommended...and let me tell you, I can't wait for the DCC, to set this up, so the bank-on-the-4ball lovers can show me how good they can hit it, and how wonderful their leave is...
