Sklansky's strategy

What is Sklansky's strategy at this point?


Is there some discrepancy between the probability of winning a certain amount of money at this point, and the amount you actually win?


Meaning, is there some sweet spot on the curve you aim for, whether by slowing the game down, or non-play of hands, or something?


eLROY

you are a total, stone cold moron.

Exactly. You slow the game down as much as you think will be tolerated, and then aim for a sweet spot on the arc. The latter is accomplished primarily, but not entirely, by non-play of hands.

The payouts are laddered. You have to get up to 36th to get any more money, so with such a small stack he might as well gamble and try and get into the big money before his stack his gone. The big step is from $0 to $20000.

au contraire, mon ami


if he picks his spots wisely and doubles through just four or five times today he will be in good stead to put in a big challenge tomorrow


if only we were there with him to give him advice during the tea-breaks, eh el?

I think that David has enough money right now. I'm sure he is not exactly "aiming for the sweet spot," but trying to win the whole damn thing. Money is money, but fame is forever.

You know, pay him $400,000 to get us to the last pitch from the top of Everest.


And then step in and play the final hands ourselves.


Course, even Saudi Princes trust the horses to start and finish the dirty work.

...with the oft expressed notion that one has to be an expert themselves to critique others. That is, the ridiculous idea that because eLROY doesn't place higher in the WSOP, his criticisms are groundless. What makes it so laughable is that it is usually the same people that argue that being a good theorist is not the same as being a good player (ala David Sklansky?).


-Ryan!

We'll see how well he does at the Bellagio tournament. He survived day one, and starts today in 58th place, with 22T.
