I know exactly what you mean. I got a "poolroom education" when I was young that has held me in good stead all my life. I can smell a con man a mile away!
I went to college but the "street smarts" I got in the poolroom have helped me as much or more in life. Here's lesson one: The best way to lose a friend is to loan him money. Lesson two: The best way to get rid of an undesirable customer is to loan him money.
I could say a lot more but it doesn't need to be on here. The people that know me, know me and that's enough.
