It looks like Jose Canseco is turning to the poker tables in hopes of turning around his recent financial troubles. Knowing Jose, and knowing the way Jose plays poker, I’m willing to bet that Canseco has a better chance of pounding out 10 more books than making any money playing cards. The oddsmakers agree.

Every person on this list should be banned from poker for life if they can’t last longer than Jose Canseco.. Although with all the ticks and twitches, picking out Jose’s tells has to be impossible.
