Ever wanted to become a pool hustler? Life at the office becoming just a tad boring? Need a little adventure and instability to pep up your dreary existence? Then follow the steps below, and maybe one day they will make a sequel to The Color Of Money that will be based on your life as a pool shark:

1. Quit your job. Real pool hustlers don't work for a living.

2. Sell your current $500 or $1,000 playing cue. An expensive cue is a dead giveaway. You can get yourself a cheap Sneaky Pete, preferably one that looks used, but buying another cue is purely optional. Instead, learn how to play really well with a house cue.

3. Relocate to another area, or start playing at pool rooms where nobody knows you.

4. Play in local room tournaments, but make sure you never win more than one or two matches. You don't want to give away your true speed , and tournaments are the ideal situation to give other players the impression that you are just a casual player who can't string more than three of four balls together at a time (or three or four racks, depending on your level of play).

5. Be selective in who you play. When first arriving at a new pool room, pick out the weakest player that may possibly play for money, and target him first. Don't beat the best player in the room until you have taken everybody else's money.

6. Disguise your intentions. Casually walk up to your unsuspecting victim, ask him if he would like to play some - don't mention money yet - then play a few games, and then ask him if he would like to play "something cheap".

7. Always lose the first game or two (or set or two if you are playing sets of games), then try to bump up the stakes before you bump up your game a gear or two.

8. Never play to your full potential, unless you really have to - like when you have met your match and you need to pull out all the stops just to save your pocket. Even then you might want to lose, if you can afford it, and thus make a long-term investment.

9. Learn how to win by a slight margin only, such as a ball or two, or a set or two. This is, of course, a really difficult art to master, and very few ever succeed. It is always going to be a tight-rope situation which can go one way or the other, depending on the luck-factor.

10. Always refer to the outcome of your shots as having to do with luck. For instance, if you play an obviously bad shot, complain about your bad luck; if you happen to pull of a spectacular life-saver to win from a losing situation, ascribe that to luck, too. Also make sympathetic remarks about your opponent's bad play by ascribing that to bad luck.

11. Praise your opponent's play. It gives them the confidence that they can beat you, and will make them try again.

12. Find fresh fish. Once you have beaten everybody in one pool room out of their money, it is time to move on to the next one. You might want to get out of town, in the event of word getting out, or if your life is in danger. A fool and his money are not that easily parted.

13. Keep a woman by your side. Somewhere along the way, it might be a good idea to latch on to a lost female soul, and make her your traveling companion. Guys who go to pool rooms accompanied by a woman look more harmless, and are more likely to attract action.

14. Learn to play on bar-box tables. There is infinitely unlimited action in bars. A drunk fool and his money are more easily parted, but you might have to put on Oscar-winning drunk-act performances yourself at times.

15. Reapply for your old job with less pay. In the long run you will make more money than trying to be a hustler, and you will have more to show for it, too.
