    The best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

    His book was great. It still baffles me that people are stupid enough to lose money to pool/card hustlers. Slim pointed out that if some someone you don't know walks up to you and wants to make a bet, no matter how unlikely it is, don't bet because he already knows the outcome. Good for him for making a living at it, though.

    RIP
