Slim a legend?
I have personally gambled with Amarillo Slim on numerous occasions. At first I was impressed with his intelligence. A quality that noone can take away from him. Unfortunately I no longer think of him as a legend. The more I got to know about him the more i was disgusted with him. I personally caught him cheating at a $5 domino game in which he was probably going to win without cheating. I also learned of how he made his big break. This story has been confirmed by many of the poker players in Amarillo who have been betting on poker far longer than Amarillo Slim. Him and a local bookie setup a holdout table ( a poker table in which the cards can slide under the cusion into the players lap for future use.) on probably the best poker player from Amarillo, Louis Sade. Louis was tipped off of the scam and continued to play as he thought he could still win. Him and the bookie which I will not reveal the name of as he is not proud of his past actions, split a $2 mil jackpot. Which he was on the verge of losing until he later met up with the LEGEND Doyle Brunson.
There has been a long standing game in Amarillo which he has always known that he has a personal invitation to. A legend scared of a simple house game? Don't be fooled this is in my opinion one of the hardest consistent poker tables in the world. Anybody with enough money is welcome to give it a shot.
P.S. Slim if you read this you know where the game is at. Feel free to give it a shot. And remember you cheat with a beginner but cannot slip anything past us.
