Bucktooth

Keith,

After reading Playing Off the Rail, I gather that you and Bucktooth have been pretty close. Was he as great a player as the stories about him (beating Johnny Ervolino and Billy Incardona even up in their primes, etc)?

I did hear about Bucktooth losing $8 grand to a player last year (who I shall keep anonymous) getting the 5, 7, and breaks (or some massive amount of weight like that). Of course, I know that Bucktooth is pretty old now.

I remember playing Bucktooth when I was living in California. The one thing good about playing Bucktooth was if you did match up right and get lucky enough to beat him, you had the potential to win a lot more than you could lose. Him and I have always had a good time when we've played, lots of laughs, and growls, too.
