Re: Random - Which President was best at poker?
I am surprised that people always overlook Eisenhower the poker player. In the long pre-WWII years his idle hours were filled with poker, and he was a good player. He continued at a reduced rate during the war and Presidency.
He was also a honest boss. He once banned a subordinate who was a terrible player from his game. Saving the guy's military career was more important than taking his money.
Second to Nixon (a true grinder who's career owes a lot to poker), Ike was probably the best.
