Hello ! I'm a new poster here but been playing for more than a decade and I have been thinking to ask you a couple of questions, Mr. McCready:

- When did you first started playing ?
- Did you have a mentor, a someone who was teaching you or someone you just looked up to ? The reason I ask this, that I'm curious to know how the top players got to be where they are now, either through self-learning or being taught by someone.
- What particular area in pool you find most difficult ? Consider all aspects; mental, technique, money/tournament play pressure, motivation, practising etc.
- Do you still practise alone or do you play against an opponent ?
- Have you ever been touring in Europe, on the road or some tournaments ?

Thanks a bunch and congrats for the Falcon tour win!

Mikko, welcome to AzBilliards, and thanks for your kind words about the Falcon Tour final.

I started playing seriously when I was 11, and I learned a lot from watching Ronnie Allen, Richie Florence, and Cole Dixon at that young age. Those were some of my early mentors when I was growing up in California.

Most areas of pool are difficult until you master them. I have always taken shots that I have trouble with and spend more time with them when I am practicing, and I do like to practice alone.

I have never had the pleasure of playing in Europe yet, but hopefully, in the future, I will be able to indulge myself.
 
Keith Im not sure if you have been asked this question or not, Can you tell me in order from 1-10 who you think are the best all around players of all time?. Thanks again.
