As regards single-baulks made by giving a miss in baulk-the big question always is-how will you stand if your opponent replies by running a coup ? This will compel you to play at the red, and unless you can see daylight in that direction, you should be very chary of giving a miss in baulk which leaves the red in play.
Leaving a single-baulk by means of a stroke on the red is quite another matter. Should your opponent reply with a miss or a coup, you have the right to return the compliment, leaving him to be brought up by the rule governing the limitation of misses. As this rule is so important, I may explain that it means that you are not allowed to give two misses in succession unless a score or a double-baulk intervenes
