Now, Let's Play Poker! - 2004-01-08 I caught up with my friend Robert Williamson III at The Bicycle Casino in the recent World Poker Tour championship event. Robert and his three sisters were born and raised in Houston, Texas. He got a B.B.A. degree in finance from Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas, and a B.B.A. in real estate. His past professions include restauranteur, real estate developer, and consultant.
Robert is one of the nicest, most generous, and most fun-loving players on the tournament circuit, and he has a tremendous sense of adventure that makes him fun to hang out with. At 32 years of age, he is living a very happy life and enjoys traveling all over the world to play poker. His words to live by are, “Carpe diem … seize the day!” Read the full story at CardPlayer.com |

Unfortunately for me, I stopped backing Amir right before he won a lot of money, including a World Series of Poker victory that paid $280,000, and a nice finish in the “Big One.”
Also, although Amir occasionally gets a little testy while playing in tournaments (not nearly as testy as I do!), he showed a lot of grace and class in defeat on many occasions that I witnessed in 2003. For example, at Bellagio in July, when he was leading both tournaments he was playing in (which is really remarkable in itself), he busted out of both within minutes of each other and left with a very positive attitude and, believe it or not, a big smile on his face.
