I my new personal best run of 15 tonight. I ran 5, made the break shot and ran 9 more. I don't normally play straight pool. I was pretty excited, I think I'll play more often.

Weclome aboard. You will like it here. Kept it going.

Thanks. It really is a fun game that helps you work on your skills.
COngratulations! I guess that's the reason we keep trying to set new high runs, to express this excitement once again, and again. Nothing to add to what Ratta said, keep playing straight pool and you will enjoy more and more of it, especially as you discover something new and learn more about how to play it right. And that's the key.
Congrats!
Congratulations! You ran 15 the hard way - by successfully executing a break shot! It's just a matter of cycling through racks now. Should be a piece of cake!
Seriously though - with a high of 15 you're in a unique position to break your high run more times this year than in any year from now till the end of your life. Practice regularly and seriously and in no time you'll be posting high runs in the 50's and 60's. Good luck!

Also my personal best
Hi all, been reading this forum for a while but never leaving a comment.
I also had my personal best of 17 the past weekend practicing. Ran 14 from the break, scattered the rack nicely, but scratched after pocketing the 18th.
Straight pool is my favorite game, but never really played it much or had anybody to learn the game from. Watching the great videos and reading the instructions have helped a lot though.
