I vote very good for the hobby at the time. I had several deals with him and all were very fair. Although I have heard the horror stories.
He scared me to death 1 time when I was a young man.
I was at our table and Alan came over and grabbed dad to go look at something. He sat his briefcase down and off they went leaving me by my lonesome. Well the hell with the cards, I was watching skirts walk by the table in those days.
Him and dad came back and I asked "Mr. Alan, what is in the briefcase?"
He opened it up and there was about $200K in there in $100 bills.
I almost died that he left that in my responsibility!
I should have grabbed it and ran and bought me some skirts for the evening
