Presidential Candidate Barack Obama loves poker
Presidential Candidate Barack Obama loves poker
Obama a regular at low-stakes home games sometimes stud poker, sometimes draw designed to break up the tedium of long legislative sessions. Poker, beer and cigars are staples; Democrats, Republicans, lawmakers and even the lobbyists who Obama sometimes rails against dealt the cards and placed their bets. The traits Obama displays around the card table are those he brings to his presidential bid and are certain to be evident and analyzed if he wins the White House.
By his poker buddies' accounts, Obama is careful and focused. He's not easily distracted and doesn't give away his intentions unless it's to his advantage. He's not prone to taking risky chances, preferring to play it safe. But he's also serious and competitive: When he plays, one thing is certain he plays to win.
