In particular, I like Byrne's first two instructional videos. If you are talking about the game of billiards, played on a table with no pockets, it will be tougher. There aren't a lot of billiard tables around anymore, so unless you are lucky enough to have a table in your small town, it will be tough. I recommend you go to a pool room near you or the website of a pool room near you and ask for a resource.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you are talking about pool in general there are lots of good books and videos.

not your opponents cue ball ohh i forgot the two cue balls are different
one has a small dot on it you are only allowed to strike yur cue ball,
cannons worth 2 inoff worth 2 pot of red 3points a good book would be anything from the greats of billiards walter lindrum was the greatest exponent of billiards horace his brother was also very good and has written books on the subject if you go inoff with your cue ball play starts for you at the D once more while other balls stay as they are if you pot opponents cue it stays in hand until thier turn cannons are the usual go this way you keep all balls on the table and it then becomes easier to score points thats the basics good luck and keep practicing
