Ever since I was five or six years old, I remember my dad playing snooker, coming home and bragging about winning and such. All my life it was this way. I was so excited, like children with toy cars or trucks, but pool was different; it was amazing to me. Anything with a ball in my life was fascinating. It seemed like everyone wanted something out of it. Pool was the same way. In the place where I grew up, it seemed like everyone wanted to gamble. As far as I am concerned, as the writer, I have been a student of the game, all my life, actually. I wanted to quit everything to play for money, and I almost did. Nobody would play just to play, even if it was for marbles against marbles. Any game I played, it had to be for something. I lost a lot of them until I got good enough at it.

I am dedicating this book to Willy Masconi, Willy Hoppi, and Danny diLeberto, Billiards Digest, and to so many people who influenced me throughout the years. Self-testing of talent and having someone else help you will help to improve your game. My hat goes off to these people that have made the game so noble and great. The dedic
