I know that you should take an easy safe over a hard shot but does this apply when playing the score?
Let me also say that a hard shot for me may not be so hard for the rest of you. It only took Gulfportdoc two games to figure out he could leave me long and have very good odds on getting back to the table. Geez, I'm giving up my secrets.
Anyway, I stray from the question, if I am playing the score and I am say three balls behind am I supposed to get aggressive? It just seems that I sell out a lot when I could have made a fairly easy safe. I know though that you can't ever win on defense. I guess I can answer my own question by saying sooner or later ya gotta shoot for the hole. I know, y'all are saying "Hey dummie, learn to shoot better". I try, really. Oh well, checkers is lookin' better all the time.
Uh, I'm working Loxey so I'm bored. No table in the back
Later, Pel
