Default Re: I Met Sklansky Yesterday

I saw DS at the Rio during the WSOP and he looks suprisingly like a normal and nice dude. His photos on the back of the books make him look like a callous type of guy, I guess he's not photogenic or he's too nitty to hire a good photographer.

Before jumping in, David once sweated me for a short time in a $2-$4 limit game at the Bellagio and was kind enough to tell me, "You know, you don't have to play every hand".

Hey, what does he know ? .... I'm just a 'risk taker'.

I met him at the bellagio a couple years ago. He was very warm when I introduced myself, even though I was *mostly* there to get $100 from him and he knew it, but I knew that he knew that I knew that he knew, so maybe he was compensating.

I'm currently reading a biography of Bob Stupak. I'm surprised to learn what a central part Sklansky played in the rise and fall of Mr. Stupak.

If nothing else, now I know where he gets his taste in shirts.

What's the whole hundred dollar thing? And it makes sense that he knows that you know he knows, although it sounds complicated.
