Hall just broke and it's Marco's shot. What would you do?

I see no path for 3 rails off the 15. It might be possible to follow straight through the 5, banking the 2-5 away and leaving CB on the long rail. If that doesn't look right, I'd draw off the 15 toward Buddy's pocket.

If it lays right, and if the 5 ball has a path past the 13 ball, I'm shooting the 5 into the bottom half of the 12 ball sending it across to my pocket while the 5 banks up table and the CB freezes on the top of the 7 ball. That's if it looks good at the table. If it's not on, I'm banking the 15 over about 3 feet and putting whitey on the joint, doubling him up with the 3 and leaving him straight in at my pocket on the 15 ball.

That second one works pretty well if the others don't. Good thought.

Looks like the 5 ball is lined up to hit the right side of the 10 ball?(by pocket) If so, using a slight draw to keep Q ball behind the 7.
The 5 could also be lined up to kick the 10 ball away from pocket, keeping the Q ball on the 7.
I don't usually like leaving opponent on wrong side of stack, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do....

Yeah, that was Jeff's last option. Good call.

This is a good shot and it's probably what I would do unless I saw something while at the table.
The one pitfall of this shot is leaving a cross-corner bank into the stack that will be completely safe and probably cause more trouble for me.

The cross wouldn't be a problem if the 15 were only banked across the table about 3 feet and the CB left on the end rail in the middle of the table. However since Buddy kicks very well, the 12 ball might be a problem. He would definitely shoot the kick on the 12 from up table and would be better than 50% to make it and get more, perhaps all the way out. Jmo

Tough kick right there, to far off the rail.

Yep, keep the ball off the rail and you're good.
P.S. I only show who the players are to give people a sense of the match. I always figure I'm playing an equal opponent an even game in these WWYD's.

Marquez shot the 5 into the 13, 12, siderail and back into the 9
. Only he knows what he was trying to do.
He left it here for Hall:
