TOP STORIES:

Did Amarillo Slim really say he’d “slit his throat if a woman won the World Series of Poker?”
There’s a profile on Oklahoma Johnny Hale on how he made a million dollars by the age of 21 and lost it at 23.
"A Champion’s Perspective" by Doyle Brunson discusses how he had a passion for
Texas Hold’Em before it became so main stream.
There’s a fascinating article “Mind Over Bankroll – A New Concept?” This article by John Hill discusses the impact of going on tilt.
Mike Caro discussed the word “FAIR” is it fair that Tom McEvoy refuses to risk his 1983 World Series of Poker Championship earning on higher limit games? Caro feels reinvesting one’s winnings is how money circulates in poker, he seems a bit sarcastic. Caro has a couple good lessons on “tells” too.
