Not even sure if this is possible, the only actual 'pool hall' I know of is like 15 minutes out of the city limits. There used to be awesome places to play when I was in High School but now I'm pretty much restricted to playing on 7' tables at a Moose Lodge unless I want to chance playing in a crowded bar. Due to this reason, I have no idea how big the 'pool scene' actually would even be in the city.
But just incase, I've pretty much played casually whenever I was able to from the time I was a kid(meaning was staying at a hotel with a table, place with an activities building, etc.) and of course in my late teens to early 20s I would play in bars on the weekends. At any rate the past few months I've moved close enough to where it's a relatively short drive to the places I play so I probably play 2-3 nights a week now--my end goal being I would like to maybe play for a league team when I get a little better for fun.
At any rate, while I'm not completely ignorant in the ways of geometry and have a semblance of an idea what English is--I'm pretty much as novice as you can get despite having played probably 1,000 games in my lifetime. I mean I'm not horrible, I beat guys who play in leagues sometimes(which probably still sounds pretty bad to you all haha) but I'm definitely far from being good but would like to get better. At this juncture would seeking out an instructor even be useful to me, or am I still at such a low level of play would it be more beneficial to just continue playing 10 hours a week like I have been until I get better?
Also, what are the benefits of instruction and relatively what do they charge?
