Default Re: The Seductive Brutalities of Poker



If that was babbling, I hate to think what my posts should be called.


No skepticism here. Anyone who knows you, or knows of you, knows how you got the "Crazy" moniker. It is evident that David's quote must have been part of a longer conversation and/or an answer to a direct question he posed to be used in that section of his book.


In those days, I certainly played smaller than you did, so I never saw you in action, but others told me, with admiration, of what you were able to accomplish. David mentions in his book that you would sometimes deliberately play with a dead hand (6 cards), give bonus chips to losing players, play a tape recorder to decide what action to take, and challenge opponents to "death" matches, in which the loser must kill himself!


I don't find not wanting to let the bad guys take advantage a "strange emotional flaw."


Nice to have you here. Hope you'll participate on some of the other forums as well.
