Antoine Walker doesn’t know when to hold or fold ‘em

By Ron Kantowski · November 12, 2009 · 11:41 AM

NOW

Note to Antoine Walker, the former NBA star who owes three Las Vegas casinos $822,500:

When your card has a picture on it and the dealer's has a six, you are not required to ask for another card.

But as the great John Candy said in "Stripes," that's just me. Mister Vegas.

THEN

"You got an ace, an eight and a seven. Well, you lose. If you would have had four fours, you would have won. You're getting good. Starting to get the hang of it. Isn't this fun? You're pretty good for a first time, really." -- Dewey "Ox" Oxberger, 1981.
