Well, it looks as though y'all are done with the most recent WWYD, so I'll post this one for your enjoyment.

The standing is that the guys are at double hill in a race to 5. JJ has broken the balls, leaving Buddy a tricky layout. What did he do? What would YOU do? ~Doc

Buddy looks for something aggressive in these spots, but I don't see one.
I would kick 4 rails at the 4, maybe off the 9 but probably not. Huge window... hard to go wrong, but it doesn't do much for me but give me another turn at the table.

Oh, I see what Buddy might have done... combo bank 3-2 and double JJ up in the upper right hand corner. Depends where the 7 and 12 are likey to end up.

edit: Was this a late 90s match with
Dr. Bill and DD commentating... if so it was a great match to watch and the commentating was hilarious.

If I kicked like Efren... this might work. There is a very nice landing area for the cue ball here. I seriously doubt Buddy did this though, because he seems to be a subscriber to the "do something simple" in a pinch style of One Pocket. (Not knocking that by the way).

I don't like coming off the 9ball and dropping to the bottom rail, much too conservative of a shot. Chances are the next time you come back to the table you'll be in the stack with less to do than what you just had. I certainly wouldn't want to be in the stack with the way the balls are positioned, would you?

Playing the carom is a gamble, more for some than for others, however, it looks to be a good option if you like it. I know I wouldn't want to be playing Reyes and have him set up for the shot, just sayin.:D

Dustin and Petie have the right shot. I was going to post it right after Doc put this up but I wanted to let people put their 2 cents in.

Bank the 3 into the 2 and go up table leaving him doubled up on the balls on his side. Hopefully my bank into the 3-2 has moved some balls over so I have some strength on my side. Another option is taking a foul leaving the cue ball up table in the top right hand corner so he is doubled up, maybe you come to the table with a better shot but if he is smart he will take a foul back and put you in or on the stack.

Simple. Play the 5-10-6-13, (I think it actually may go) while playing the carom 7-2 combo as well. Or Dustins shot.

Kick lightly into the stack and u both owe one but u fouled first. Dont like it
