Re: which poker pro is the most educated ?
It is funny how people quantify things rather quickly, apparently without any solid basis.
I have a PhD and I don't think I can be considered more/less educated that a Medical doctor or an attorney. The skills needed are so different that comparing them is rather pointless. And that's not even counting the street smarts that make 100 times my salary just because they are more bussiness/life savvy than I am.

Re: which poker pro is the most educated ?
Hate to say this cause he gets on my nerves big time but Paul Magriel(x-22) is tooooo smart (most educated?!?!) and I'm not sure if he qualifies as a true 'pro' since he teaches.
From Wiki- -Paul was New York State Junior Chess Champion at the age of 19, while a student at New York University. -Magriel has arguably won more major backgammon tournaments than any other player in the world. -After receiving perfect College Board scores , he became, while an undergraduate, a fellow of the Courant Institute at New York University and later a National Science Foundation fellow at Princeton University with a primary interest in probability.

Tie between Block (JD from Harvard Law) and Binger (PhD in Particle Physics from Stanford). Major postgraduate degrees from arguably the two best Universities in the US.
These guys playing poker for a living is so pure. These two could be doing anything!
