Do you seriously want to lose less and win more often? If so, then you need to understand the importance of practice. Time must be spent (daily or weekly) to learn how to force the balls to obey your intentions. Even 15-20 minutes a week of focused learning will improve your playing skills. This book is your shortcut opportunity to advance your skills and win more games. These exercises and drills are designed to improve all of your skills – physical and mental. Your practice sessions will be much more interesting and challenging. There are hundreds of exercises and drills. Every playing skill is included -- cue ball control (reverse spin, top spin), pocketing skills (straight and many different angles), and more – lots more. +++++++++ These drills and exercises are based on the concept of progressive advancement. Start with an easy setup. When you comfortable, increase the difficulty factor. Use these problems in two ways. At home, review an exercise. Consider how you must play the shot. Then, imagine the ball positions on the table in your head. Carefully and thoughtfully play the shot. Consider variations on the problem. Can you do this at different speeds? What are the consequences? Make notes as you think about different ideas - assumptions, possibilities, and variations. Then, at the practice table, select the problem you want to fix. Put down the paper reinforcement rings. Set up the ball configuration. Practice the configuration until it is easy, then try the exercise with left and right side spin on the ball – and at different speeds. Observe the results, and make adjustments. ++++++++++++ How to become the intelligent shooter!! You must decide to become a competitive player. Integrate a simple dedication to intentionally improve your skills. Start with 15 minute sessions, no more than 2 or 3 per day. Keep to a regular weekly schedule. Concentrate on one single improvement at each session. You will quickly observe improved table skills – and enjoy the experience of winning more games.

Computational pool is a relatively recent entrant into the group of games played by computer agents. It features a novel combination of properties that distinguish it from other such games, including continuous action and state spaces, uncertainty in execution, a unique turn-taking structure, and of course an adversarial nature. This combination leads to new challenges, both in modeling and reasoning about the game and in designing agents for effective play. We address the modeling challenges by presenting a model of generalized billiards games and showing that an equilibrium exists within this model. To address the practical challenges of designing an agent, we discuss CueCard, our agent which won the 2008 computational pool tournament, with a special focus on which new advancements made this agent successful. The second portion of the dissertation focuses on a topic inspired by the computational pool domain, that of execution skill. In many AI settings an agent is comprised of both action-planning and action-execution components. We first present experimental work in which we examine the relationship between the precision of the execution component, the intelligence of the planning component, and the overall success of the agent within our computational pool framework. Our motivation lies in determining whether higher execution skill rewards more strategic playing. Finally, we present a method for modeling imperfect execution skill in normal form games and examine the effect that changing execution skill levels can have in these games. We then study games in which players have imperfect execution skill and one player's true skill is not common knowledge. In these settings the possibility arises of a player "hustling", or pretending to have lower execution skill than they actually have. Focusing on repeated zero-sum games, we provide a hustle-proof strategy; this strategy guarantees a player the same payoff without knowledge of the opponents execution skill level as they could guarantee with knowledge of the opponent's true execution skill level.

Together with his partners Andreas Huber, Jorgen Sandman and Dirk Schwiewager the author developed the PAT System (Playing Ability Test), a standardized evaluation and training system for pool billiards that has been recognized by the WPA (World Pool-Billiard Association) and the European association EPBF. The player‘s level is checked at regular intervals in a series of tests, for which points and emblems are awarded. This book is written for beginners through to slightly advanced players who want to make their game of pool more professional using the PAT systems and generally have more fun playing (PAT 1). The training units in the book are accompanied by comments from the German national trainer Andreas Huber, a graduate of engineering born in 1969. Andreas is an expert pool billiards player who also helped to develop the PAT System as well as setting up the Dachau Billiards Academy. His tips on how to play in practice draw on a wealth of expertise and experience collected over years as a player and trainer.
