Default Re: which poker pro is the most educated ?

Hate to say this cause he gets on my nerves big time but Paul Magriel(x-22) is tooooo smart (most educated?!?!) and I'm not sure if he qualifies as a true 'pro' since he teaches.

From Wiki-
-Paul was New York State Junior Chess Champion at the age of 19, while a student at New York University.

-Magriel has arguably won more major backgammon tournaments than any other player in the world.

-After receiving perfect College Board scores , he became, while an undergraduate, a fellow of the Courant Institute at New York University and later a National Science Foundation fellow at Princeton University with a primary interest in probability.
