California Man Always A Winner...Until He Lost Face

It began in World War II, the South Pacific, Green Island. If you were to round up the Navy officers who served there, and if you were to ask them to recount the losses they endured, the figures they would quote would be in American currency.

They lost a great deal of money. And they lost it to a lieutenant named Nick. In poker games.

Nick was the ace poker player of Green Island. His Navy buddies, in mournful retrospect, recall that Nick never lost at poker. He was unbeatable. And, even more remarkable, before his assignment to green Island he had never played poker in his life.

The japanese had evacuated Green Island; our Navy had taken over. Nick was a ground officer, a lieutenant. His job was to supervise the arrival and distribution of cargo brought by Navy transports.

Despite occasional Japanese bombing raids, there was not a lot of action on Green Island. Unless you count those nightly poker games. The games were held in a recreation tent with bamboo furnishings and pinup pictures to enliveen it's otherwise dreary interior.

And remember, Nick had never played poker before. But such was the significance of poker to the Navy men at Green Island that Nick knew he must learn how to play.

Early in his tour of duty he asked a SCAT officer if there were any sure way to win at poker. The officer confessed there was no foolproof technique, but there were many theories; and if Nick had the patience, he, the SCAT officer, would teach him the game.

They played two-handed rounds, no stakes, for four or five days. Nick's patience was rewarded with a solid knowledge of the basics, and something beyond the basics. It seemed there was a card-playing genius lying dormant in Nick, and that genius soon ganed him a reputation throughout the South Pacific.

In the big games under the recreation tent, when the stakes were high, Nick played for keeps. The losers credited his consistency to his unparalleled "poker face," a splendidly noncommittal expression which remained unvaried before the best and the worst of hands. With a pair of deuces, he once bluffed a lieutenant commander out of fifteen hundred dollars.

We have forgotten the notorious Navy card shark of Green Island. But we remember the poker face. For Nick didn't spend his considerable wartime winnings, somewhere in the thousands. Instead, he invested that money. In himself. In his future.

"Nick" was his Navy nickname. The young lieutenant, remembered by his comrades as the unbeatable poker player who never lost a cent in a game, the pokerwise Navy officer who saved his winnings to invest in a political career, was Richard Nixon.

And, as we all know, it was at the height of his political career during his second term as the 37th President of the United States, Nick..."lost face", with America.

Nixon resigned the Presidency August 9, 1974 due to the Watergate scandal.
