POKER INFO - PROILE - Amarillo Slim

I checked that link, it says he plead guilty but all charges may end up dropped. And the child was a girl, not that it makes any difference. If it is true I hope the man gets what is coming to him, but even that will not change the fact that Slim has been a great ambassador for poker. If he is guilty it just means he is a shitty human being.

fuck amarillo slim..im glad phil ivey took his old racist ass out!!

Slim was a okay gambler, but he had nothing on THE GREAT JOHNNY MOSS or TITANIC THOMPSON. Them guys where true gamblers.

Im dissapointed in Slim. But he does have alot of gamble and is a very entertaining guy.

slim aint no poker player. He's a hustler and a pedo

All of you are fags SLANDERING Slim........it's just not right. He is a legend and should be treated as such!!

who gives a fuck if he is a legend (in your tiny mind) The guy is a fucking criminal and should get the death penalty.

There's something creapy about the guy, and it's telling that while poker is exploding in popularity that he's not around.

hes a legend, made some mistakes but i would never want to see him to the left of me on any table, not even a dinner table..might steal my meal

i went to wsop in 2004 paid 350 to enter a satellite to win an entrance fee for a 1500 event and low and behold amarillo slim sat to my right verry funny man

he had that hat on with the rattlesnake head n it and his buttons and cufflings were just how he described it when he said he was kidnappe by that pablo escobar guy

Exactly. I think when other people here win some WSOP titles, then they can talk...

It's amazing to see people stick up for a pedophile just because he can play cards. I bet you losers think that Michael Jackson 'is just a little different but only cares about the well-being of children.'

not funny this guy is a child molester very sick sick man

Amarillo Slim' pleads guilty in assault case Legendary poker player "Amarillo Slim" has pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor assault charges in a case involving a 12-year-old girl. Thomas Austin Preston Jr., 75, was sentenced Tuesday to two years deferred adjudication and fined $4,000 by a judge in Amarillo, Texas. In August, a Randall County grand jury indicted him on three felony counts of indecency with a child by contact, accusing him of touching the girl on three dates in early 2003. The plea to the less severe charges means the felony counts will be dropped and Preston will not be required to register as a sexual offender.

Great character. Donates much of his time to childrens' causes. Class human being, loves the kids, maybe too much.

Slim and Brunson are old timers and if it wasn't for them there wouldn't Texas Hold em...they are the ones that actually brought the game to Vegas...Slim hats off to you!!

still a molester

He is a sick fuck for sure. As if cheating in poker was not enough, he had to start "giving chocolate" to little girls. I hope he wins a no return ticket to hell for his efforts.

This site is funny as hell, but nowhere did i find he molested kids. statutory rape, or was it real child molesting? Was she like 17 1/2 or like 7 1/2?

12 years old. She was 12, He is like 80. Child molester for sure.

Is it true what people are saying about him? Jesus he had a legacy and threw it away if he did.

Yes it is true about Slim(e). He is the guy who parks his car in an elementry school parking lot with a box full of puppies and a bowl full of candy in the car.

CHILED SPOONER!!!!!!needs a boot up his ass(BADLY)

They are considering making a movie about this guy. Nic Cage has the title role of Slim. They will probably glam it up and leave out the fact the Slim was a fucking pedofile.

Slim is the goddfather of table talk. He is one of the best poker players i have seen. and he already is retired u idiots.

poker wasnt evenhis first or best game he was a pool hustler for years until he couldnt get a game the greatest proposition gambler ever. dont make a bet w amarillo slim, cause he will win. he beat a world champion ping pong player at ping pong. the hitch? he got to pick the paddles. he used a 6 oz coke bottle that hse practiced with for months. he skunked the champ. read his book and you ll flip out over some of these bets

He's retired. no shit, he's older than dirt. You like child molesters jets? you sure seem to. On that ping pong bet I heard he used frying pans for paddles not coke bottles. Speaking of frying someone needs to fry slims' ass then dump him a landfill with the rest of his relatives.

i dont like child molestars nor am i trying to justify what he did but i am saying he is a good poker player.

he beat bobby riggs with frying pans. he beat the world champ with 6 oz coke bottles
