@selmarineofficer2424 Three balls ahead is the typical advice for 9 ball, but in straight pool it could be more, for example it might be a strategy to clear separate sections of the table (head, foot, etc), which could be 5 or more ahead. It all depends on the layout...
Hey, I can hear your Delta-13 rack! Did Samm get you a Deluxe version? I bought 2 and donated one to the Elks. The folks there did not appreciate it because it was too noisy. They didn't mind their warped wood rack with no finger room. I took mine back and swapped it with a semi-decent wood rack.
Maybe you and I can try some straight pool one day.

Whats the rule of thumb of how many ball ahead should a average pool player play ahead?

Oops, I forgot and found your post last September -- Samm got you a deluxe Delta-13.
You've improved a bit since US Am Championships in '04.

Thanks for your kind words, Robert!
Yes, I would love to play some 14.1 with you... anytime!
