Questions for Sklansky (Mat, not David)

[poker-penguin]

Since his father is supposed to be getting OOT style questions courtesy of astroglide (did I miss the results of that?) I thought I'd ask some questions to Mat because I'm bored and he did say we could ask him stuff in the DS questions thread.

Are you the same shade of red as the authors?

Do you have a book / chapter published?

Would you prefer to be a different colour to reflect your super-mod status?

If not, do you feel like you're letting the family down because the Brunson boy does? /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

If you banned your father, would he be able to create a new account without help?

I guess the previous question is sort of getting at "just how technologically backwards is DS?" since you hinted at this in a previous post, and it's my impression based on his comments about Internet poker.

Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?

Do you play certain card games yourself?

[Mat Sklansky]

I think so.
No.
Color seems unimportant, but I would be willing to change.
Todd does what, have a chapter?
No. Not without calling Aol. I don't think he's aware that you can open up a free account with hotmail, etc.
I don't know.
Occasionally I play online. I play everything from 2-4 limit to 15-30, to 200nl, to pl omaha and some tourneys. I have very little patience, and except for rare times of good luck, or extreme patience, I lose.

was dad demanding of you as a child? or is he as wrapt up in himself as it seems? (not that there is anythign wrong with that, i love myself also)

if you woke up with a naked man on you back, would you leave him there or whack him off?

[Tron]

My question, if I may ask, is does your last name have two syllables or three?

This has probably been discussed at length in WPT, but I try to avoid associating with those types.

[morgan180]

i have a few:

how many people work at two plus two on a daily basis?

do they work in an office or from home offices?

what is the office like?

how much gambling does everyone do on a daily/weekly basis?

how many hours a day does everyone work?

[Mat Sklansky]

As wrapped up in himself as it seems. My parents were divorced before i remember them together. My visits with him were relatively frequent, but mostly consisted of fun. He was fun, but not really a parent

[Mat Sklansky]

[Mat Sklansky]

3 of us in an office. Mason makes brief appearances. We each probably average about 6 hours per day.

At work there is no gambling. None of us gamble that much.

The new office is fairly nice and should become nicer in the future. People in town are welcome to stop by. The office number is 702-547-1324. (We don't do retail, so don't give this number to people looking to buy books.)

I assume there are changes you'd like to make to OOT but hold back for various reasons. What one change would you like make to OOT just for you regardless of the consequences?

While numbers 24 and 30 are the same question, and some of these may be too personal to answer, I must say that many of them are pretty interesting and would love to hear the answers to as many as you (Mat) think you can give.

I think that the obvious implication was that his favorite 2+2 poster would have to come from 00T, which clearly is true.

If that's what he was implying then the family guy quote applies to me.

Whatever, you did the right thing.

We still like you here in OOT.

My only question is if you read this thread (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=exchange&Number=2051772&Fo rum=,,,,,,,f20,,,,,,,&Words=%2Bmat%20%2Bsklansky&S earchpage=7&Limit=25&Main=2051772&Search=true&wher e=bodysub&Name=&daterange=1&newerval=&newertype=&o lderval=2&oldertype=m&bodyprev=#Post2051772) and what you thought of it?

This is obviously a Catch-22 reference but it's been like 4 years since I've read it. What's the joke?

[Shajen]

got time now?

[Mat Sklansky]

I feel funny answering a long list of questions. For those interested, I'll give a short bio.

It took me about 7 years off and on and 4 colleges to finally get a ba in psychology from Univ. of Wa. I vascillated in my career desires from Veterinarian to writer to lawyer to psychologist to filmaker, etc..

I was with one woman from the time I was 21 to 30. Somwhere in that time frame we were married and then divorced. We had decided to be filmmakers, and I decided that I would rather make my living as a bartender, while pursuing filmmaking, than do anything "professional." We made one short film and got divorced.

I was bartending at the Alladin. 9/11 caused me to be laid off. Mason hired me. That was 2002.

That's it. I'm nobody. If anyone's really interested in knowing more,and comes to town, I'll buy you a drink.

[Shajen]

what about the 5 year olds? /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Seriously though, thanks for the insight.

I think it's company policy at 2+2 that you're not allowed to beat up any more than twelve 5-year-olds silmultaneously.

Careful with offers like that. You'll have every underage gambler in 2+2 looking you up.

[BeerMoney]

Thanks Mat. To be honest, you seem really cool.

[poker-penguin]

It comes at the end of a big list of silly questions in the book, so I figured I'd slap it at the end of my list of silly questions.

Mat, you do sound cool, but how many five year olds do you think you could take?

I agree. Answer more of those questions though Mat.
