Martinez has a 6-0 lead and it's his shot. What would you do?

Anybody with a brain would kick at the 6 ball and hope to hide him from the balls up table. That would force oppo to take a passive shot and Raphael can start the lclean up process.
Knowing Raphael he probably played the 2 ball off of a draw carom. The shot is pretty easy and is at least even money to make it but it is a stiff to shoot at with a 6 zip lead.

I think try to play safe behind the 6-ball.

My shot would also be to kick at the six ball... It would be cool to kick with some spin and a little speed and lock the cue ball up on that three ball wall, if that shot is there.

I do exactly what The Beard said to do. I don't like trying to go off the one first. I'm afraid I might hit it a little bad and leave him straight in. I can't imagine even Martinez doing any different. I'd hate to let anyone come up for air at this point, esp old short eyes....

Knowing Raphael, he would probably lean over the table with a two foot bridge and spin the two in off the rail while tippy toeing on his left foot and his right foot about four feet in the air.

It looks like you have have to hit the 1 super thin with alot of spin to get behind the 6. I like the kick into the 6 ball.

I would kick at the 6, no doubt about it. I could bank the 4, or I could play the 1 off the 11, but both those shots are under the category of 'don't even think about it'. Kick at the 6.

Are you kwazy? Rafael doesn't have time for caroms, he wants to win now
. He effortlessly popped in the 4 ball straight-back and drew back for shapes on the 1 ball, which he made to win the game.

Is this another one of those situations where the guy is shooting the "wrong shot" and at the same time walking away with the game (when others would be ducking for an hour from here, perhaps followed by a scratch or two
