How did you start playing pool?

I started playing at my girlfriends aunts house. There was a pool table upstairs and we would play for hours. There was a "Pool Hall" in Wallingford that I would cut school and go to and watch everyone play. I was a sponge. I truly started competing in leagues when I turned 21, and well, I never looked back. I was obsessed with the challenge of learning this game. Of course, that will never happen in my lifetime, because everytime I play, I learn something new.
Do you have any advice for beginners?

Don't give up! If you truly have a passion for the game, keep going. It really does all come together. Ask questions of more seasoned players, we love to give what we know away and watch (absorb). Practice, have confidence in yourself. Remember, Confidence, Consistency and Concentration. We were beginners once too!
