I POSTED THIS ON THE MAIN FORUM AND RECEIVED ONE REPLY FROM BOB JEWETT. MAYBE I CAN GET MORE OPINIONS HERE (although, Bob, if I could only get one, your's is the one that I would want, thank you)
When you are practicing straight pool and you run out the game, sometimes you're opponent will allow you to keep shooting balls in until your run ends.
Obviously, if you only run 5 balls and out it is not worth keeping the run going. On the other hand, if it is your personal best, it would be fun to see how far you get.
So, how high does the run need to be to warrant the extra time to finish your run? Is there a certain percentage of your high run, or just a universal number? What if you are just short of the number but have just smoked in a break ball and detonated the stack like so many sticks of TNT???
