Cowboys, gamblers, and hustlers - Byron Wolford

Ride along with the road gamblers as they fade the white line from Dallas to Shreveport to Houston in the 1960s in search of a score. Feel the fear and frustration of being hijacked, getting arrested for playing poker, and having to outwit card sharks and scam artists. Wolford survived it all to win a WSOP gold bracelet playing with poker greats Amarillo Slim Preston, Johnny Moss and Bobby Baldwin (and he also won thirty rodeo belt buckles). Read fascinating yarns about life on the rough and tumble, and colorful adventures as a road gambler and hustler gambling in smoky backrooms with legends Titanic Thompson and Doyle Brunson and get a look at vintage Las Vegas when Cowboy's friend Benny Binion ruled Glitter Gulch. Read about the most famous bluff in WSOP history. Bobby Baldwin says, "Cowboy is probably the best gambling story teller in the world." 304 pgs, photographs. In the style of Doyle Brunson's Poker Wisdom of a Champion, Amarillio Slim in a World Full of Fat People, and Bobby Baldwin's Winning Poker Secrets - great stories of road gambling from a legend of the game.
