"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."

When it's time to raise, he will. When it's time to call, he will. He has a winning hand, I have seen it. But he is lucky that it isn't you or me on the opposite side of the table. I always wanted a ranch in Texas.
