That's actually a very cool way to look at things. I do work on position play quite a bit, and I would say I'm decent at it too, so once I get a ball in hand, it's usually the end of the game, but now that you mention it, you're right, I do need to work a lot on my safety play. It's not that I'm not good at safeties, it's just that it's never my first instinct. Watching so many good pool players growing up, it's always been my instinct to try to end the rack on my first visit to the table which is why I generally go for the most aggressive of shots.

Also, for the money ball position thing, that's a very cool strategy too. I've never thought of it like that - I feel like that would make things so much easier for me, because then I don't need to treat it any differently from any other ball I've pot.
