Larry Lisciotti

Larry Lisciotti, who lived from December 26, 1946, to February 9, 2004, and was nicknamed the Prince of Pool, was an American pool player and road hustler from Keene, New Hampshire. He had cleaned out the local action before graduating from high school and hit the road as soon as he had his diploma, remembering it as the best time of his life, when he sometimes spent only six dollars on a motel room but won thousands in a local tavern. As a road player in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the early 1970s he played nine-ball for 15,000 dollars, six games ahead, and during that match bullets flew past his head as he prepared to shoot the nine-ball.
