I'm good at poker.

Just yesterday I had JTo and called 4 bets cold on the turn with a A6KA board. Needless to say, I won when the Q came. I rule!

article on me as a poker player (http://www.americanthinker.com/articles.php?article_id=3378)

quote from article:
By reputation, the President was a very avid and skillful poker player when he was an MBA student. One of the secrets of a successful poker player is to encourage your opponent to bet a lot of chips on a losing hand. This is a pattern of behavior one sees repeatedly in George W. Bush’s political career. He is not one to loudly proclaim his strengths at the beginning of a campaign. Instead, he bides his time, does not respond forcefully, a least at first, to critiques from his enemies, no matter how loud and annoying they get. If anything, this apparent passivity only goads them into making their case more emphatically.
