Twenty-two years later, he got the chance to follow that dream-not as a player but as the \"stakehorse\" (financial backer) for Tony Annigoni, a non-smoking, macrobiotic-eating \"Renaissance Pool Hustler,\" student of Eastern religion, and master of the pure green-felt poetry of the dead stroke.\" With $27,000 in David's pocket they took off together on an astonishing four-month odyssey across America-traveling from seedy, hole-in-the-wall billiard parlors to high-class snooker rooms to high-tension pro tourneys, from Seattle to Miami and back again-exploring a shady twilight subculture and uniquely American mythos, in search of serious money, local glory...and the perfect hustle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49668144496880,"sku":"NEW0380729237","price":16.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/playing-off-the-rail-a-pool-hustlers-journey-by-mccumber","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
