    Joe,

    In your opinion, which poker pro would be fit to run for public office, if there is such a person?

    I don't really have an opinion on this, because there aren't many that I know on a deeply personal level. And the ones I do are batshit fucking insane.

    A lot of poker's sophomore class seem like they're pretty together. Dan O'Brien, for example, seems like he's got a pretty level head for politics. Honestly, though, I think poker attracts the kind of person we don't necessarily want to have in charge. I'm not saying they're bad people, but poker is a game and a lifestyle that rewards selfishness. Not dishonesty, but selfishness. It's every man (or woman) for himself (or herself, dammit).

    It's not a team game. Wouldn't we rather have people who are used to playing on a team?
