In this episode of Cue the Experts, I sit down with Tony Piazza—accomplished player, founder of one of Colorado’s most successful pool halls, and master storyteller. Tony shares the outrageous advice he once received that surprisingly stuck, how he built Piazza’s into a hotspot for high-stakes events with $40,000 prize pools, and the unforgettable moment he took down the #1 player in the world. From mental toughness and practicing with purpose to his most embarrassing moment turned epic comeback, this episode is packed with inspiration, laughs, and lessons every pool player needs to hear.
