I've had a good one in 9 ball, completely snookered a guy (trapped the ball) he just potted the white, so i copied him until he 3 fouled and lost the game

After being harassed by a certain player for doing this I thought I would bring it to the public. So in a killer game it was the last two people, me and the harasser lmao. Anyway I had two lives left and he had one. He played a perfect snooker and I knew I didn't have a shot. I then proceeded to sacrifice a life by TAPPING it and setting up a snooker. He then didn't have a shot and lost. He then proceeds to cry like a baby and continue to harass me, even to a mod. I would like to ask everyone if they think this play is smart or just demeaning to the game. I think that it is smart play, yes it is a tad underhanded but hey I wana win. Also I had another very good player recently do the same to me in a killer game. I am open to any criticism and other people's opinions.


the game is KILLER
well done i say, common sense, why would you give the game away by not killing your opponent using clever play

^^^

I agree majorly with this, some people do not like it, but each to their own.

Got to laugh at the people calling it 'clever play'
The people that don't agree with tapping in killer have thought of it too you know you aren't ground breaking geniuses

It isn't half tempting at the end of a 15 man killer when you're on 2 and your opponent is on 1

Stereotyping again, each to their own, they want to play that way so be it, let them doesn't make them any more a whatever your asterix word is than yourself.

I wouldn't do it, it's not in the spirit of killer
1.No tapping
2.No setting up

That's the way the game should be played, none of the best players tap or set up so that shows you it isn't a good tactic in the long run because people will just take revenge by doing the same to you.

I think its a good tactic, In my youth i used to hate it on Snooker as i was an attacking player then i learned safety play by watching Ronnie O'Sullivan play a tactical game and playing perhaps the best tactical player on funky, buddytobud (RIP). Then in the leagues Team Killer was invented and tapping and setting up is encouraged.

In my time i have learned a few things about Killer.

- Pot the Black when you can unless its risky, however if the guy after you has 3 lives you can give them the Black.

- Don't be afraid to set someone up or tap if it will eliminate someone else (works best with 3-4 players).

- Think of your surroundings and if you will be in trouble, bring a ball or two in play so its easier for you.

probably more but can't think at the moment.

Do you honestly think you are revealing master tactical strokes like a boss james?
If you have to resort to setting up and tapping then you're crap in my opinion...nothing to do with being astute tactically it's showing a bit of class and wanting to beat players because you pot better and play safe off your pots better.
it's also about enjoying thegame, yes if the black is pottable take it. That's common sense, the players with high ranks get people setting up before them all the time but they won't do it themselves...do you honestly think that is because they haven't thought of it??
Make me laugh!

James will fill ya in mate, think you have to play carom and chess to be any good at it though so we'll just keep bashing balls instead (not in any weird dave way before you get all excited)

of course everyone thinks of it but most users consider it disrespectful or cheating to set someone up or tap to leave a tough safety for the opponent.

I rarely do it in normal killer, except once on Pool where we had 3 or 4 left and i set someone up to eliminate the 3rd player which is smart in my opinion.

In Clan Killer i have seen, tapping to cushion to eliminate someone on one life (still takes some skill not to hit it too hard and leave it on), setting up your teammates to eliminate the other clan members and also pot the white so your partner has an easy safety shot.

Its anyones choice if they want to do it and remember you can do it to them too

True however playing Carom helps more with escaping snookers and certain safety shots

Cant help that much if you can't kill people by yourself and have to set people up can it
Good for minigolf apparently though

Sorry I didn't see this post and carried on the offensive against a 'setup merchant'
Agree that clan killer is totally different but in normal games it is unfair and disrespectful yes.

Seems to me the only thing you did wrong was win. There are plenty on here who if they cant see a pot they dont know what to do. Keep on winning and enjoy the abuse i say.
