Wasn't Nixon quite the card player in the Navy?

Yes, he funded his presidential campaign partly through poker winnings.

There was a congressional card game for years on Capital Hill. Both R&D played. Tip O'Neil was a solid, no action Boston gambler, he had the best record in the game. He said Nixon was a fish and had to get hit by the deck to win.

I really like this guy. Probably be the first time I ever vote, has nothing to do with poker, he's just a good sharp dude.

Truman was a monster poker player, Nixon was a big winner in the Navy but rumors of cheating dogged him. Many, many presidents have played and you can bet almost any of them could be good if they wanted to. Clinton would probably be a donk in cash games because he needs action but could be a stud in tourneys. Bush Sr. would probably be tag. The only recent Pres. I can't see being good at poker is the current one, W. just seems like a dummy and the type who'd spend all night whining about bad beats.

no no no... he would never whine about bad beats because that would mean admitting he lost... he is the typical losing player who swears he "way way up"

The rumor is that he partially funded his '46 congressional campaign through poker.

In his autobiography, Nixon 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."

Take that, Caro.

Put him about a 6 before, but now poker. A solid 9.
