Did you ever hear of "running it twice" in big pots when all in?

Well Sklanksy Bucks is like that except you "run it a zillion times".

(I have a more detailed explanation if you want to PM me.)

Sklansky bucks aren't supposed to equal total winnings. They're supposed to equal showdown winnings. And if you're a good player who can lay down a hand on the river, they never will anyway. The luck graph is the best way to determine how you're running.

I highly doubt anyone lays down/calls the correct percentage of time on the river. And of course if they could what would be chance that it all evened out anyway?
