Full Episode
One time I was in a poker tournament with Danielle Stryker. I was already having a lot of problems with pocket aces. As soon as I sat down, I blanked out. I woke up out of this weird thing that happened to me. My pocket aces are going to get knocked out by pocket tens. She knows when I say this, it happens. Danielle Stryker raises. Position one or two pushes all in. I call the all in.
Daniel Stryker folds. I look over to the guy and I go, you got pocket tens, don't you? He goes, yeah, how do you know? Because I got pocket aces. He's going to get knocked out of the tournament with pocket aces against pocket tens. Guess what happens? All right, guys, Jose Canseco here. We're going to talk some crazy poker stories today, aren't we?
I've got some serious, crazy, the craziest poker story probably in the world with 12 witnesses. As a matter of fact, a person that was there, Daniel Stryker, called Negrano and told him what happened to me. And he said it was impossible. Let's dive into it, man. Let's dive straight into it. So I don't know if people know this. I've been playing poker for about 42 years.
I would say I'm 60 years old, very old. So while you were an athlete, you were playing. Yeah, of course, we play on flights. We play at the clubhouse before the games, usually on rainouts. On flights, of course, the major league level. And a lot of money transpires in those poker games. I remember one time losing to Reggie Jackson, a 45-minute flight. I think it was $55,000.
So, yeah, I mean, absolutely, we play a lot of poker. I've been doing it for a long time. I played against, you know, Ivan Negrano, the whole combination, the whole group of the professional players. And, you know, I've done okay. I've done okay. But I'll tell you one story that happened to me, and I think this is probably going to be unbelievable.
But I do have 12 witnesses that will verify and validate this. There was a point in time where I had a lot of problems with pocket aces. So every time I would have pocket aces preflop all in heads up, I'd lose every single time to the point where it was 11 in a row. Where preflop heads up, I lost with pocket aces 11 in a row. Friends of mine will validate and verify this.
One time I had pocket aces and I mucked them. I threw them away. The person who pushed all in flopped us straight. Wow. It would have been 12 times in a row. Now I'm going to tell you about Pocket Aces, a story that you're not going to believe. But if you doubt it, let's get the witnesses. Let's bet some money on this. You're going to see how wrong you are.
So I had an issue with Danielle Stryker, who writes books on poker. She writes a lot of poker. She knows me. And at times, people know me for being able to See unusual things. So one time I was in a poker tournament with Danielle Stryker, and I was in position, I think seat two or three. She was in eight or nine.
And as soon as I sat down, remember, I was already having a lot of problems with pocket aces. As soon as I sat down, I blanked out. When I blanked out, I see right in front of my face, my pocket aces. I'm being knocked out of the tournament. I have pocket aces. The person that beats me had pocket 10s. I woke up out of this weird thing that happened to me.
