Buckeye Hughes 0 Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Legend also says Reese collected million-dollar fees for teaching gin and backgammon to royalty around the world and once was ship-wrecked on an island while taking one such trip. He hired a service, friends say, to start his car for him, because he worried about whose money had he won.One of my favorite parts. Link to post Share on other sites

fighter 4 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Take, for instance, the time Reese was asked about his biggest hardship. He couldn't go to McDonald's, he said, because they could never break a thousand-dollar bill. Link to post Share on other sites
dt1313 0 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Great Read...Thanks for sharing that...I really like this quote:"Years ago I was talking to Chip about Stu Unger, who died young at 43. I asked Chip if Stuie was the most talented player he had ever seen. He said, 'Natural ability-wise, yes, he had the quickest mind. Stuie's problem is he doesn't understand the object of the game, which is to accumulate wealth, improve your lifestyle and provide for your family.' " — SextonIt's not all about ability...You need to be the complete package, not just a force at the tables...By pretty much all accounts, he was THE BEST and you can see why....It seems like too few of the "pro" players ever really grasp what Chip was saying there...Although after reading Hoosiers "Well" it seems like he's got the right mindset.......And to think...It all started because of Mom...lol...Very Cool-Dan Link to post Share on other sites

Cappy37 0 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thanks for the read Buckeye. And FWIW, I would definitely buy a book of Mike Sexton's memoirs.I would also buy a hand-written recap of Keith Sexton's thoughts of getting pwned by LivesWithMommy. Link to post Share on other sites
