Who Is Sklansky Talking About?

[Knockwurst]

Who are some of the players Sklansky may be talking about when he writes:

Poker history is full of hot shot maestros who quickly racked up big wins by making just the right mistakes to exploit their regular opponents. Unfortunately, their egos usually didn't allow them to recognize their deviations from perfect play as theoretical mistakes ... in their minds, they were natural talents playing an unbeatable game.

Then, the sober, seasoned pros moved in, systematically targeting the maestros and their mistakes ... Their big wins disappeared, and, broke, they slumped out of the poker world none the wiser?

NLHTP p.181-82.
