Bruce Buffer (UFC fight announcer)
UFC fight announcer Buffer is regularly seen on TV screens. In addition to his main source of income, he also sits at the poker tables, again surrounded by cameras. Buffer has been to the WSOP on several occasions and has played at a table that has been broadcast around the world.
She has also participated in poker competitions between MMA (mixed martial arts) and professional poker players. She came second.
One Las Vegas gambling house even named a poker room after him.
However, Buffer has not achieved any particular official success. In the poker database, his career winnings include the following figures. 348 US dollars.
"I like poker because it's war," he said. - Throwing someone out of the game and taking all that person's chips gives you the same adrenaline rush as getting a good hit. It's a battle. Fighting and playing poker - although not on the physical side but on the psychological side - are very similar. You want to knock someone out and two things can happen - either you get knocked out or you knock out someone else".
Buffett was asked an interesting and unusual question in an interview - which is worse, losing blood or losing money?
"When I was eight years old, my father taught me three things. He taught me how to play poker. He taught me how to play blackjack (I like to say I'm very good at it). In fact, while I was looking for a job, I lived on blackjack for six months. And my father also taught me about horse racing. He said that the only way to follow a horse is with a shovel - you have to be careful with them", he indirectly replied to a question he received.
Buffett started playing cash games at the age of 14, which, he says, helped him understand the intricacies of money management.
He has spent his entire life playing cards and martial arts.
