Default Re: How good is David Sklansky?

he's great at writing and thinking about poker, as well as dating black hookers and spewing money on horse betting. his best game is pl one card where youre dealt a card between 0 and 1 and your opponent and you both have infinite stacks. he's thought a lot about this game and collected a lot of data and is clearly the world's leading authority so as soon as they start spreading it regularly at bellagio he will have a huge edge.

my guess is that david could beat any cash game (only talking hold 'em )...

I doubt hold 'em is Sklansky's best game. So, why would you only talk about hold 'em?

We should reasonably expect that David can beat whatever game he is playing regularly and possibly stakes a little higher if he put the work into it.

I've played with him a handful of times and have seen some very very basic misplays. In the 200/400 game we were playing in I don't think he was a winner. For sure once the 'fish' he weakly played vs busted he wasn't.

Forget 2000/4000.

should we really be listening to BK as the authority on who knows how to play LHE and who doesn't?

No way Sklansky spews in horse betting. He for sure kills it, he's got the brain the size of an award winning pumpkin.

"he's got the brain the size of an award winning pumpkin."

very seasonal!

one time on the way from the bellagio poker room to the restroom i saw him losing on a horse and clutching a racing form in one hand while wiping his brow with the other. he was saying "cmon! cmon! cmon!" i took from this one incident that he's a horse betting junky and wildly -EV at it. do you see why?

I would buy a Sklansky book on betting horses in a heartbeat.
