Larry Lisciotti
Larry Lisciotti (born Manchester, Connecticut, U.S.; died February 9, 2004) was an American professional pool player and notable road hustler, nicknamed "the Prince of Pool".
==Early days==
Lisciotti had eaten up the local before he graduated from high school, but as soon as he obtained a high school diploma, he hit the road. He remembered it as the best time of his life, as there were times when he spent only US$6 on a motel room, but won thousands of dollars in a local tavern.
As a road player in the early 1970s in Charlotte, North Carolina, Lisciotti was playing nine-ball with an unknown entity for $15,000 for six- (meaning one player had to score six games ahead, instead of a to six) in order to win the money. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black, shiny object pointing directly at his head as he was getting ready to shoot the nine-ball in the pocket. He missed the shot, as the bullet flew over his head. It happened five more times, each time Lisciotti was getting ready to shoot a game-winning shot. After missing six consecutive nine-ball shots in a row, Lisciotti had had enough and said, "If he's going to kill me, let him!" He fired the last nine-ball in the pocket with authority, but thankfully only heard a clicking sound as the gunman ran out of bullets.〔(March/April 1991 The Last of a Rare Breed ), by Suzanne Weinstock, page 24〕
