I've not played pool for about a decade, however, if you're any good at pool that's not a shot you should really have to play Parm! 90% of the time you'll have a half decent shot on a pocket (it's not Snooker), and if you don't you should at least be trying to make the other player's shot as tricky as possible... surely? If you just hit it 'n' hope you'll likely get nowhere AND risk setting them up an easy shot.

I only do it on the black..usually point at a pocket with my cue before blasting it giving me a 1 in six chance of bragging rights if the black goes in.
