Bourbon Street is a 40-foot Kegel Navigation pattern with a 7.67 to 1 ratio. It sits between the easy streets and the tougher roads in the series. The ratio gives you a fair amount of room, but it is not the wide-open house shot that Main Street or Wall Street are.
At 40 feet with a moderate ratio, Bourbon Street is a balanced pattern. There is enough area to be comfortable, but you still have to make a decent shot to keep the pocket.

A 40-foot moderate pattern fits a straight game. Play direct with steady speed and let the ratio give you a clean read. You will not need a big hook to carry.
Play a moderate angle and trust the breakpoint. There is enough room to make small moves as the heads dry out.
You have room to swing, but keep it controlled. Get your breakpoint to the friction and move in gradually as the pattern transitions.
Bourbon Street plays medium. The 7.67 to 1 ratio gives a fair amount of area, more than a sport pattern but less than the easy streets. A solid shot scores well.
