POKER INFO - PROILE - Amarillo Slim

you cloutier and brunson should just quit poker, yall too old for us young guns!

The bio left out the parts about Slim pleading guilty to molesting a 12 year old, slurring Jews during a radio interview, and how poker players call him "Amarillo Slime."

He pleaded "no contest" to assault charges (against a 12 year old).

over-rated; he won the tourney with 8? people. come on!

No Slim. No poker world. Fellas think about that before you slander a legend

Rookie -- Are you retarded? Seriously? You've criticized every professional player on this list which I suppose is easy for you as you sit behind your mommy's computer playing with play money on pokerstars while popping pimples and picking the popcorn from your braces.

Slim For President

if ur trashing slim you can get out cus hes one of the legends i dont care if hes best friends with the devil hes still damn good

if you won a tourney with ace high you wouldn't be complaining.

gardner if you like him so much why dont you let him babysit your daughter

overrated is right. He's good, and (was) a great ambassador for the game, but he's also a cheat, a child molestor, a grandstander, a bigot, and nowhere NEAR the top of the heap among players all-time.

If all of that stuff about Slim being a child molestor is true...I have no respect for him whatsoever. He may be the best gambler of all time, but these kinds of other traits give poker a bad name, it makes it sound like all gamblers are wastes of money and time--and are completely immoral. Now, a man like John Juanda or Erik Seidel will totally change that mindset. Anyway, shame on you Slim.

I'm not sure about all this stuff that I've heard about Slim. But you're definitely right about Juanda and Seidel being good for poker.

slim is the bomb digity he can still play with the young guns he has all the expierence, WORD

You child molesting SOB! Screw you slime ball!

You've gotta be pretty sick in the head to molest a child. Slim is a convicted sex offender...a true detrement to poker. He's always pulling the wool over the public's eyes.He ought to be casterated!!

sick fuck molested his OWN GRANDAUGHTER!

which tourney did he win? 1905? old bastard

Anybody bet on golf?

No Slander. look it up for yourself

Here's one for you. My husband, Benny Edwards, was a sick man.. He suffered from BiPolar disorder with mania (schitzophrenia). Slim took advantage of him at his darkest hour. Gave him some dope and then proceeded to beat him out of every last penny that he had. A month later, Benny was found dead in a hotel room in Amarillo and not one of you sorry SOB's who paid your bills at his expense showed up at his funeral nor paid any respect!! He died scared and alone in a hotel with not a penny to his name and every one of you that took advantage of him KNEW THAT HE WAS ILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. He's not the best at anything except screwing people in the backside.. He's a ruthless, sick, demented person who would put his penis in his own mother's mouth if it paid a buck!!!

Awsome player.. Doyle brunson is no match to you. stay clean

Slim isnt a good poker player even varkonyi got farther the him in the 2003 wsop..Lock up your kids the news reported him being seen with Micheal Jackson and R.Kelly at daycare centers

if you can possibly say that slim had no poker skills, than it becomes very hard for me to believe all you say about him molesting children. true he beat out only one table of players in '72. but its about quality not quantity. guys like phil hellmuth nowadays could go through 150 shitheads at the WSOP before they get through one doyle brunson or johney moss.

What a dirtbag

slim is god. all pepole making fun of him have never talked to him and prolly just read a diffrent internet article.

Slim got busted for some type of "electrical" equipment being used in a gambling scam around inthe early 70's.It was somewhere around this time, as I understand that he and Doyle Brunson stopped running together.He is nothing more than a foul mouth piece of garbage; and he displayed that when playing in theinaugural World Heads Up Poker Championship in 2001,in Vienna Austria.

this guy is really a child molester dude thats gross man, im sorry to hear that desi that sucks ass

hate to hear that'bout ol' slim, he really brought poker to the masses. i knew him when he was running cattle down there by groom, texas.
