Texas Hold'em

Once one of the top Texas Holdem players in the world. Winning millions at the tables now living in a seedy apartment in a run-down area of Las Vegas. Playing in third-rate casinos. Meet Joe Willie Henry and enter the world of big-time poker. Specifically Texas Holdem poker. He won big everywhere he played. With his father on the living room coffee table for match sticks to the jungles of Nam for a months pay. In the glitzy casinos of Vegas and Atlantic City to luxurious suites in San Francisco and the mega yachts of Fort Lauderdale. And on TV. He was also a winner with the women. Then somewhere along the way he started losing...in life. This is his story. My game is Texas Holdem and at one time I had been one of the top twenty players in the world. Number twelve to be exact. That was in my prime - both age and game-wise. Of course women followed my success. There were always women around the tournaments and tables. At the big ones in Vegas and Atlantic City they would jockey for position to get the best possible exposure from the television cameras in their low-cut mini dresses. As much cleavage showing as they had. I was a rock star on the tour - young good looking well dressed and a winner. Winner being the key word. The two Ws - women flock to winners. Add a third W into the equation and it defined me. The third W is in my name - Joe Willie. Attractive women rich or poor single or married were always coming on to me. Joe Willie. Winner. She watched him win the first night of the tournament with a winners take of one percent. His percentage from one of his sponsors very early in his career. The first night his take is thirteen thousand five hundred dollars. A very good night for a twenty-two-year old. A winner and she is his reward.
