[samjjones]

Who would win a SNG of these U.S. Presidents? Assume all of them have been given a week to read 2+2's library beforehand.

Nixon is the only president I know of who was quite good at poker. I think in the Navy in WWII, he won a bunch of his shipmates money. He won it in underground cockfights, I think, but won it nonetheless.

Yeah, I believe one of Nixon's initial campaigns was funded by his poker earnings.

But he's a horrible bluffer...

Bush would win.

He'd be wired, while Cheney would have Sklansky in a cell in Guatanamo extracting the correct play hand by hand.

If I didn't already know about Nixon's poker prowess, I would have voted Clinton. Smart and sneaky.

I voted for JFK. He was a pretty intelligent guy, and would be able to understand TOP. Also, he could carry out a successful bluff (see Cuban Missile Crisis). And he had the necessary amount of "gamble" in him (sleeping with Sam Giacomo's gf; Marilyn Monroe) to allow him to win it. Abraham Lincoln is the rock in this game, btw.

I've always been under the assumption that Truman and Nixon were both excellent players. Nixon financed his first campaign with his winnings while in the Navy. Make sure to check the turn with outs against Tricky Dick.
