Nothing is wrong with a spot. However, based on every match-up of Bucktooth's that I've witnessed, a player would have to absolutely outrun the nuts to win. Bucktooth has a lot of money and bets high. If I had his money I would bet that high too if I had the nuts. Many players would; not just me. If you listened to him talk you'd think he's completely crippled. In 2007, maybe that's not far off. I don't know. But I've seen the act for at least 15+ years now and that's all I've seen. Meanwhile, from what I understand, the guy was a very good player in his day. I'm sorry if I don't fall over in admiration. I don't think it takes an abundance of heart to bet high when you have the nuts and you have loads of expendable cash. His thousands are like my dollars. Now I ask myself, would I bet 10 dollars if I had the stone nuts? Hah! That's a no-brainer, right?
Anyway, the guy does bet high and he is entertaining to be around when he gets going. He's the best woofer in the business. When you see him walk through the door you know that something is going to happen - even if it's just him entertaining the crowd with his woofing. He's equally entertaining once he gets in a game, too. The woofing act doesn't end when the game starts. He goes all night. It all seems like it's in good fun and it's fun to watch. I think he even gets other people matching up with each other. He does generate action.
