i think his choice is to either put him back in, get 4 points, or shoot from where it lay as a free ball

I looked a the tape again, and before Ronnie's opponent kicked at the Red, the score was 12(Ronnie) - 0. After his opponent kicked at the Red and missed, creating the Free Ball situation, the score changed to 16(Ronnie) - 0, so Ronnie did get 4 pts for his opponent's foul (did his opponent foul 4 times?). But if it was 16-0 for Ronnie before he shot the Free Ball, why wasn't his score higher at the end, e.g. 16 + 1(Free Ball) + 7(Black) + 145(the rest) =169?

He talks about his decision making process on that in the first few seconds of the video below although I'm not 100% sure if he was talking about the first or second time he chose pink instead of black. Basically he just says that he decided it was more important to get the record of being the first person to make a break above 147 on TV than it was to risk it all by going for the tougher black to slightly increase the point total. He doesn't seem to be regretting the choice or upset about not getting 155 best I can tell.

Yep, he doesn't care. It's a bit like me the first time I didn't care about making a break and run at 8 ball after going a little out of shape on my 7th ball and played safe instead 😂. Except it's a million levels above that and then some, and the game is already won.

Every other player, even Stephen Hendry, would have paused to weigh up the black there. And I still do the same when I run out of position on the 8 or my key ball.....
