Winning Secrets of Poker

I don't know. I think Sklansky could hold his own against Danny at LHE and split pot games.

Hellmuth's a tourney player who does not do well in cash games, and Sklansky's a limit cash game player.

I think the "Big Game" is an aberration in the poker world. A strong player can make a perfectly good living playing 30/60 - 100/200 limit or 10/25 - 25/50 blind NL. Above that it becomes more ego than anything else. An over-bankrolled 40/80 limit pro can make more in a year than 80% of the working stiffs in the country with negligible risk of ruin.

In fact, seeing the games Daniel sits in tells me that he's not as good as Sklansky in that most important of poker skills - game selection.

I had to read the Alan Boston interview twice it was so good

Hellmuth calls boston an idiot at the table
so in pretty much exact words he says 1 let's take an IQ test and leave it at that or 2 we go outside and I kick the (bleeping) shit out of you. DON'T YOU EVER DISRESPECT ME

phil nods quietly and never says a bad word to him ever again

Boston goes on to talk about doing coke with stu ungar and their relationship
(this is super insightful as to the REAL stu ungar)

To me mr Bostons Interview is just awsome he speaks from the heart he's not trying to promote books or ideas he just tells you the facts straight up with a lot of F-Bombs....

Also he makes great mention of a movie called California Split has anyone here ever seen it ????

Boston talks about the ending to the movie and compares it to Stu Ungar's life.
