I would strongly consider rolling the 2ball softly favoring to over cut it. Any other option would need to be hit perfectly, the 2ball will buy the shooter some time. imo.

What makes this lay so difficult is the CB being close to the head rail. God knows what Efren pulls out of his hat here, but I would likely roll through the 15 (the stripe on Scott's side rail), allowing the CB to continue down the side rail near the pocket. The only danger is possibly leaving a bank on the 7; although the 15 should get in the way..

He'll possibly shoot his famous kick shot at the 2ball
Well I'm glad that you came to your senses, and decided against the 2 ball shot, the proposal of which I can only assume had to be a "senior moment".There's another option other than shooting the 2ball, that I would consider. This is a situation where any safety is difficult to execute that's why I considered the 2ball because with the 2ball if hit softly and slightly cut to the right you will leave your opponent in a safe position and will have bought a little time to escape on your next inning. If for any reason you don't like the 2ball option look to take an intentional, there is an intentional that looks to be available, i'll explain. There looks to be room to shoot the cue ball off the side rail between the 15ball and 9ball drop softly to the bottom rail and then back up into the 10ball softly. If you're able to position the cue ball on or very close to the 10ball then your opponent will be hard pressed to put you back in trouble and the next time back at the table you figure to have a much better situation to deal with. ...

Looks pretty safe (and potentially productive) to me, even if not hit perfectly...I would shoot rail first before the side pocket at the 2 ball. It's kinda a free shot even if u miss it.
With the right speed seems like a good chance to get a look at the 9. If not I guess kicking safe.PJ, what are you going to do if you make the deuce? I think you'll be frozen to the stack... I thought Androd was kidding..

In situations like this one where your gut tells you that you may lose the game with your option and any other option carries the same consequent it's never wrong to look to take an intentional.
Yes we have the luxury of playing from our computer and certain shots we choose may be correct in a perfect world but even the best players aren't perfect, then it's wise to use our intelligence and experience to guide us when we have that feeling deep in the gut.
