Amarillo Slim Preston has won $300,000 from Willie Neslon playing
dominoes and $2 million from Larry Flynt playing poker. He has
shuffled, dealt, and bluffed with some of twentieth-century's most
famous figures. He beat Minnesota Fats at pool with a broom, Bobby
Riggs at table tennis with a skillet, and Evel Knievel at golf with
a carpenter's hammer. Amarillo Slim has gambled with 'em all, and
left most of them wishing they hadn't.
The memoirs of a living American icon, Amarillo Slim in a World
Full of Fat People is the story of life as a Texas road gambler and
the discovery of the Wild West. It's also the story of how Slim won
the World Series of Poker at Binion's Horseshoe, became a worldwide
celebrity, and brought poker from smoky backrooms to mainstream
America. Just let him tell it:
"If there's anything I'll argue about, I'll either bet on it or
shut up. And since it's not very becoming for a cowboy to be
arguing, I've made a few wagers in my day. But in my humble
opinion, I'm no ordinary hustler. You see, neighbor, I never go
looking for a sucker. I look for a champion and make a sucker out
of him ..."
"I'm fixing to tell you a few things that I've been keeping to
myself for a lot of years. If you're not careful, you just might
learn how to get rich without ever having a job."
