Poker your way to the US Presidency!
We all now that if you’re a good poker player the rewards can range from lots of cash, a new car , holidays, etc. But what about gambling your way to becoming President of the USA?
In an article I recently read it was reported that former USA President Richard Nixon funded his 1946 Congress run with the winnings he earned playing poker, whilst serving in the US Navy during World War II.
However, as his career progressed he decided to quit playing poker as he deemed it not fitting of a Presidential candidate or even President.
In his autobiography Nixon actually wrote: “I learned that the people who have the cards are usually the ones who talk the least and the softest; those who are bluffing tend to talk loudly and give themselves away.”
