DiLiberto to shoot. What would you do?
I like the 3-railer on the 2 ball, sending the cue ball up near the 13 ball. Of course a dbl-kiss near the 3rd rail would be a total disaster, so it would depend on how I felt about the rails and cloth.
Another option is 1-rail kick into the 13 ball sending it to your hole, outside english willl kill whitey there.
The score of 6-3 should have little significance in this situation because the shooter doesn't appear to have an offensive shot. Too many games are lost because players put too much importance on a deficit when there is no offensive shot and force a shot and either lose their position or sell out. To me it doesn't look like you can turn the 15ball in and there's not much to be gained if you can. In this type of a situation I would position the 15ball on my side by banking it 2-1/2 rails hoping to have the 15ball end up near my side pocket. I would draw the cue ball to the foot rail and take my seat and try to work myself into a better situation to deal from.

Chances are I'd try to steal a ball, and bank the 2ball.
Make the 15 and draw to bottom rail (I think spotted balls block both straightbacks if hit well.)
Try as I might I cannot think of anything else for me to shoot than this. Sometimes you just have to do nothing and let the game go on. Naturally I froze him to the rail.

I like that shot as well as long as you get good enough with the cue ball to hide the bank on the 8.
This is my shot, keeps 2 balls down table. I'd probably try to make the 15 off the 13, just to get another ball more in play.
Well trouper that he is DD decided to bank a ball near his pocket:
