Famous people who also played poker?
I am trying to find a list of people who are famous for others things but were also poker players.
The ancillary question is, how did their poker playing help them.
2 on my list so far are
1. Bill Gates: Famous for calling other companies bluff by pretending Microsoft had software that they didn't (eg vapourware)
2. General Yamamoto: A Harvard Graduate who became adapt at poker during his many years in the US. Used this mindset to orchestrate the attack on Pearl Harbour.
Any more?
Note: people who were known for being good poker players
