Sorry GMan, but JH is theoretically correct, but only being pedantic & this surely has never ever been seen in (any non orchestrated) reality !!!
The theoretical "max break possible" is 155 !!!
Explication, I learned at about 14, at the snooker table in my village golf club.
If player 1 fouls & this results in player 2 being snookered on all the reds, they can declare any of the other colours as a red, then 1 + black 7, plus 15 other reds & blacks, 1+7+147 = 155 !!! But you are right to say that 147 is the normal max score.
