[quoteAlso, I'm not sure what the point is in berating him for his friendship with Brandi.. .

That don't change the fact that Brandi is batchit crazy and a solid "10" on the psycho biatch scale. That being said, I'd hit it.

Has Sklansky ever won a poker tournament? Just curious. If not, he would seem to be an odd choice for a tournament poker mentor.

if winning a poker tournament is your standard for teaching qualification than only a hundred or so poker players are qualified to teach.

Im sure Sklansky has made over a million dollars from tournaments (he rarely plays them). So he is not qualified you say?

He has two bracelets, although they are older than Brandi. He's made 1 or 2 WPT final tables also.

I'm not saying he's not qualified. By his books, he's one of the great poker teachers of all time. I'm just saying that, if your primary interest is tournament poker, you might consider getting a mentor who has had more tournament success.

Having said that, I am available to be Sklansky's next poker pupil after Brandi kicks him to the curb and goes internet-psycho on him. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Funnier/sadder still, is that Sklansky now admits to being paid by Mason for publicly embarrassing himself with these brandi posts for the sake of 2p2.

He has also admitted that the primary reason he starts a thread nowadays is to drum up up "hits" for the site. Personally, I'm a little insulted by this. Here I thought I was taking part in discussions of mutual interest with David. Now I've learned our exchanges have been little more than a ruse to increase 2p2's ad rates. As a result, I've been posting MUCH less lately.

Of course our discussions have been mere ruses to increase ad rates. You wouldn't believe how many people come up to me breathlessly telling me how excited and titillated they get when they read your posts and my replies on the Science Math and Philosophy Forum regarding, ethics, morals, probability and religion.

Does Brandi post under your name in that forum at 3:46 AM?

You may be an old fuddy-duddy. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

At least for us American posters -- we live in a country where millions will gladly pay .95cents a text message over and over to help try and make someone who has a God-awful singing voice the American Idol because they want to see him win and have a good laugh.

A world where millions are glued to their TV set to see if a California blonde bimbo will get 23 days or 45 days in jail for a misdemeanor and will keep tuning in while she is in jail to see if she ate. We love train wrecks and these near real time reported wrecks are the best.

I think this Brandi chick is great. Everyone who calls her a whore would line up and proudly wear the title of 'john'. She will NEVER run out of guys to wrap around her finger.

Sklanksy has just become embarassing -- something people like to see as well. Not at all for 'mentoring' her (hell, my gf is 20 years younger than me) but for these little posts he is dropping in here to keep the pot stirred. Total lack of class on his part and even if you want to argue traffic and ad revenue, a minimal return for his dignity, I would say.

Second time I have to follow your post with "QFT". Nicely said. I would in no way ever judge DS for having sex with Brandi and even paying for it. I am a fair bit younger than him, but I would certainly have some fun with her - my life leak is a weakness for dirty/trashy girls. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] BUT I would never allow myself to appear so pathetic to my peers and fans/customers/readers - I can undertand if your claim to fame was being a great pornographer, but if you are an author/intellectual/poker statesman, please don't get cheap publicity/few $$$ by associating yourself with this sort of stuff. It makes you look bad; because of your stature it makes poker look bad, and it makes me look bad (in a very small way) because I play poker too. Again, I am not a nit - I am all for hookers, kinky sex, etc., but this is just.... sad.
