RIP Johnny Hughes

Los Angeles


RIP Johnny Hughes. Poker historian, author, professor, former band road manager, hustler and Texan.

Best gift Johnny Hughes gave me was believing in me at a time in my life when I didn't believe in myself. Thanks for that Johnny Hughes. You will be missed, dear friend.

Johnny Hughes also gave me best advice on surviving Vegas and being on road nonstop: "You can have one vice, one drug, and one girl. Never have more that one of each. Otherwise you askin' for trouble son!"
