Isi artikel

If you found yourself sitting at the poker table opposite Amarillo Slim, you were wisest not to say one word. He might try to get you talking, of course. How are you and how've you been, any sort of yakking. Best to keep quiet. He could get a tell from you just by watching the sweat on your upper lip. In fact he could know your whole hand by looking at the pulse in your cheek. If you tried to read him back, you'd find those cool hard eyes hidden in the shadow of his big old Stetson hat. He had a rattlesnake head on the band of it-killed by himself, so he said-and he might tell you that as a token of affection he'd put a rattler in your pocket and ask you for a match.
