Enterprise invariably pays better than safety in billiards. One thing is absolutely certain, and that is you cannot win by playing wholly and consistently on the defensive. Nevertheless, your enterprise must always be tinctured with a certain amount of reasonable restraint. It is absolute madness to go out for anything or everything and chance the consequences merely from force of habit, and yet this is a habit which many amateurs indulge in. If there is "nothing on" they just let fly and hope something will turn up. That, however, is not billiards. The state of the game has a great bearing on the matter. You will do everything in your power even to hit a ball if your opponent needs but one point for game and is unkind enough to present you with a double-baulk.
In a lesser degree, if you must make a break to have any chance of winning a game which is going decidedly against you, it is the game to take risks which you would not face if the game was even, or more or less in your favour.
