He spent about a year in Biloxi during the few years before his death
getting absolutely BEAT UP in limits from 10-20 to 75-150 and had one game
for about a week at 200-400 until he quit the guy. The "Crack Whore" was
actually a pretty nice person, although she was definitely a crystal meth
addict. She would come tweaking around the Grand's poker room and find
Jack, grab $100 (most times) and go on her way. She did sweat him when he
was playing games above 30-60 because it was usually very short-handed and
only spread FOR Jack.
The way he and his wife split was horrible, but Jack was always the
"Gentleman" even when he was losing, hence the nickname "Gentleman Jack"
Keller. Ask the dealers in Tunica and Biloxi how he treated them. If
they answer that he treated them badly, they are lying.
Jack only "won" about $100k when he got the bracelet after backers, loans
and taxes were paid. The WSOP wasn't the monstrosity it is today.
