We all know that the US legislation prohibits or at least restrain poker games. But those who approve the laws can let themselves sometimes play a couple of hands in the Hold'em tournament - for the charity goals, of course. Recently lobbyists, lawmakers and their assistants could do themselves well and took part in the charity Texas Hold'em tournament in Washington.
The event was sponsored by the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation. The tournament raised about $200,000 which was directed to the art therapy program for the young cancer patients and to the researches. Clear Channel lobbyist Robert Fisher became a winner. One of the players, John Ensign, the only lawmaker from Nevada at the tournament, left the table earlier. He was bluffing during his last hand and lost. He didn’t derive any special tactical hints or bluffing strategy from the tournament, though he seemed to enjoy the game itself.
The only thought we could carry out of the event - the lawmakers want to know their enemy by sight.
