When I was about 16 years old (60 years ago), my Dad (who had been a road player, took me into NYC to meet some of the top players to see how they lived and were broke more than not. He could see my game was still improving and heard I was thinking of going on the road. I was making more hustling in the 5 town area bars, than on my job. When I saw how most off them lived, stopped practicing. I neve lost my love for playing the game and the action, but I never thought about pool being my job. Johnnyt

Post of the year (2 years ago) :thumbup:
A good deal of very talented players started playing before high school and I would say most never completed high school. A poolhall is a different kind of education and some have used that education to do some great things while others are grinding it out. I can't really imagine the feeling of winning some major event as they have. It is probably on the level of the feeling after a birth of a child or something along those lines albeit for a moment.
Damn. I gotta say in all honesty, usually I come in here and people are about as far off with their opinions as can be.
You and the op and perhaps others have stated something pool players need to hear. Then what happens? They ask for your grammar to be better, lol.
Seriously guys, most good players have their head lodged so far up their asses. It's embarrassing. Play some good pool, practice, get better, get even a part time job and gamble with your earnings. Wiser words have never been spoken, both for the player to get better, and for him to actually, I don't know, be an actual man and not hold your hand out begging for money on a daily basis. And all the op gets in responses are "learn to spell" lol. Seriously guys, you're reveling in the misery of pool and deservedly so.
Hey Phillyv,
What really amazes me is why any one would worry much about what the pros do or don't do, they are just a small part of the American pool scene. I am sure there are good and bad ones like every profession.
I enjoy watching top tier pool players and I enjoy pool, but I keep it in perspective.
They are adults and free to make their own decisions on their future.
Most of them must take great satisfaction in poking a ball in a hole with a stick. Why else would some one pursue a career with little financial reward and no retirement plan or health insurance?
