Former U.S. President Richard Nixon reportedly financed his first political campaign with money he won playing poker in the U.S. Navy during World War II. The winnings helped pay for his successful U.S. Congress run in 1946. Apparently, Nixon decided that his lucrative pastime would not sit well as his political career gained momentum, and he gave up poker in 1952 when he became Dwight Eisenhower's running mate.

Cool Fact: 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."

Cool fact. I agree that people that have potential skills believe in their selves thus always developed a sense of preservation while people who are shallow always end up loud and not real making it impossible to go along with. Thus, playing poker will greatly reflects one attitude in life.
