This topic just occurred to me today. People always talk about how some of the best players in the world were hiding under the radar for a time, and became the best hustlers.
I'm curious what the lowest level player was that was still savvy enough to make a living playing pool.
I'm guessing that there were guys that played near an "A" level that knew how to make lines, that knew human psychology very well, that were good actors, etc., that played nowhere near pro level, but were able to make enough money to survive.
Does anyone come to mind that fits into this bucket that you know of?
