102 out

I was sitting with 102 left last night.  I generally don't like to get too caught up in setting up out shots because it's easy to end up shooting for T13 and T11 and missing and ending up only hitting 11 points and not getting anywhere.  But... I didn't really see the point of shooting a 20 and ending up with 42 or 82.  Shooting 18 leaves 48 or 84... 48 is nice but 84?   So what about 16 - that leaves 54 or 86.  86 is T18 + D16.  Ok, lets try that...

So I shot at the T16 and hit a single 8.  That's 94 left.  I hit T18 + D20 and won.

OK, what just happened?

Basically, shooting the 8/16 wire from a 102 leaves a T18 + either D20 or D16.

I would generally shoot for the T18 first, but missing it and getting a single on the first shot leaves you in a weirder place - 84.

Hmmm.
