Break and run in 8-ball. Stripes laid better after the break so I chose them. Left myself pretty long on the 8 ball, but did so to keep an easy angle and easier shot, just didnt think I was going to travel that far away.Just wanted to note that I really dislike 8-ball, just I havent shot it in a while and felt like it tonite for some reason. I prefer rotation games. 8-ball, 8ball, and, ball, billiards, break, pool, run
