Sklansky vs Negreanu!
 

David Sklansky did not mention names but Negreanu took it as a shot at him.

Sklansky(my take on what he said): Some high rollers (Negreanu is primary suspect), are losers. They do not have the slightest idea of what "Having the edge" means. They (Negreanu) should be ashamed of themselves for going to church on Sunday and not shoving 500K into the collection box when they are perfectly willing to lose said 500k to Doyle or some other golf hustler when they have nadda a chance-o-winning. I wonder if Doyle gives him strokes?

So basically Sklansky seems to be saying that Daniel, whom I like very much, is a loser and a religious flim flam man. Agreed?

Now Daniel, whom I like very much, comes up here and says that Sklansky, although not a loser at gambling, is basically a loser at life. I think this guy Strasser said just about the same thing in another thread. He, Strassa, called Sklansky a lame old guy and I've never seen David, whom I like a lot, limp. So I am assuming "Lame" refers to Sklansky's life style. Now Daniel claims that Sklansky hasn't bought a new pair of shoes in 25 years. I don't think Daniel has known Sklansky that long so I doubt that it is true. But I can say that I have known David, whom I like a lot, for about 8 years and well I have to say, "David, he might be pretty close about the shoes." Daniel also calls David a nit. I have heard this said about David by many others in the past. I'm wondering though why Daniel, whom I like very much, considers this, I assume by his tone, to be a negative thing? Below is, I believe, what is meant when referring to David Sklansky as a nit.

Is that a negative thing? I don't think so.

So here we have the boys going at it again. I recall a few months ago when Daniel, whom I like a lot, challenged David, who I like a lot (can't get that who or whom thing straight), to a battle of Heads-up poker matches but this never came to fruition because Sklansky wanted an edge, (how dumb) and TV rights (I believe), but Daniel just wanted to play.

So what do we, who like Daniel a lot and whom also like David a lot, do about this situation?

I for one would like to see a debate with either Mike Caro, Abdul or Tom Weideman as the moderator. Or maybe a poker match. Of course, a fist fight might be a whle lot better and may attract more paying customers too. Something Sklansky might appreciate.

I suggest arm wrestling to settle this.

I don't know the entire history, but in my opinion, Sklansky had no business making a public statement about Negreanu's gambling decisions - he just invites a response from Negreau.

Being a reckless gambler, I just do not understand for the life of me nits. Today PA paid someone $200 to get hi In and Out because he was hungry. Think Sklansky would do that?

So what if Sklansky looks for loose women instead of loose action

Dude, is your sole purpose of posting on this board to name drop? You do it in every single one of your posts. I'm not exaggerating. What a tool.

What does "to get hi In and Out" mean? Is that stoned sex?

I'm pretty sure real reckless gamblers don't refer to themselves as reckless gamblers.

You mean stone cold sex don't you?

In and Out is a burger place here in Vegas. Or should I say, a Poker Players filet mignon joint?

Re: Sklansky vs Negreanu!
 

The nits are easy to understand, it's the reckless gamblers that are hard. It's easier to understand how someone wouldn't pay 200 dollars for In and Out than would. But that's not really what we are talking about.

Reckless gambling to me, are the guys betting huge sums of money with a high likelihood of going broke. It may be interesting and cool from afar, but if the perpetrator were a close friend or family member, I certainly wouldn't be laughing about 25k coinflips.

I'm all for reading about degeneracy on the message boards, but idolizing the crazy gamblers for their gamble is stupid.

I don't think Negreanu is a "crazy gambler"

Actually, if you are flipping coins, negative variance can make you GO BROKE without the proper bankroll.

You do not have a HIGH LIKELIHOOD of going broke though. That was his point. Since flipping coins is about neutral EV, the likelihood of you going broke based solely on that, is small.

You could also go broke with AA vs KK preflop if your bankroll is not big enough, but there isn't a high likelihood of that happening either.
