Poker : The boss of the Lakers wants to become pro at 77 years
Jerry Buss is a well known man in business and sports. Jerry had acquired wealth and prosperity throughout his career. He holds a Ph.D. in chemistry and has been in the mining sector and aerospace, but he built his wealth through real estate. He then used a good portion of its cash to buy a basketball team, the Lakers of Los Angeles, one of the most legendary clubs in the NBA. Jerry Buss is no stranger to the poker community as he is primarily an avid fan who has attended many live tournaments. The great news is that Jerry Buss wants to devote more time to poker. He has already passed the reins of his businesses to his children and is preparing to become a professional poker player.
At the venerable age of 77 years, he wants to make poker a profession, because he is convinced to be more competitive in this field "I strive for competition. There are not many other disciplines that I can practice easily and where I can be competitive in my age, "he said. Buss appeared on Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker and his finest performance was his third place at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in 1991 in the $ 2,500 buy-in 7-Card Stud, during which he eventually finished behind Rodney Pardey and Don Williams. Really, anything can happen at any age in poker.
