It's Efren's shot after Alex's straight-back & three rails with the rock. What would you do?

P.S. Anybody who guesses what Efren did gets a cookie & $1.00 mailed to them. No cheating now, I know you want that cookie:) .

Well then, I guess he didn't kick the 1ball in like a normal human being :rolleyes: I guess he must have banked the 7 in, or kicked in the combination on the 9ball.

The nine ball in or perhaps it goes with the 2-10 combination. Or perhaps the 4 ball goes off the 9-6 carom.

if you watch the video on the right of efren drawing the q he obviuoisly 3 railed the 7 knocked the 1 in with the q made the 5 broke open the stack and went 8 and out

too bad the balls in the rack makes it impossible to shoot that shot.:(
since dennis is offering such a strong prize of a cookie with CASH added
efren did some thing we havent guessed yet . banking the 7 straight back is too obvious.

p.s. on the link above if you watch troy franks kick on the 2 its one helluva shot. if you read the article below he admits he lucked in the 9 :eek: to win the championship
thats why i love one pocket:)

My first thought was that Reyes banked the 7 straight back, and drew the rock down for shape on the 3; then the 14-9 combination, then five and out.

But on reconsideration, with you putting up a cookie AND a dollar, Reyes must really have pulled one out of his ever-lovin' ***.

mark i dont get (or have) big bucks but
if you stick th q on efrens side of the stack and all you do is move the seven and 3 towards the middle of the short side thers no pressure on alex (ie no balls to worry about near efrens hole) and he has the q looking towards his pocket . seems to me there are alot of options for alex with a leave like that.
icbw or missing something:confused:

I just liked it better than kicking the 1 because that possibly leaves a bank on that solid ball..2 railing 7 and stickin qb is just a survival shot

I don't think it's a good idea to shoot balls toward your opponent's pocket, you might miss. ;)

Wow! You've changed the screen color and given Efren a few more choices. I wish I could that in some of my games.

Not much of a shot, for a guy named Efren...:cool:

Yep, I was straining my little brain trying to figure out what he would do. Surprising that he just didn't simply kick the five in. I was expecting more of an Efren shot. Like someone mentioned, to three rail the seven and draw the cue ball to pocket the five.

What he did may just give Alex more opportunities to develop more balls.
