Re: David Sklansky? and Tournament Poker?
Sklansky is considered by most, me included, (although I believe Mason Malmuth plays better) the foremost poker authority. Does that translate to "Sklansky is the foremost Poker Tournament authority"?
Well, if it not there must be a difference between live poker and tournament poker. Something I've always claimed to be true. There is a difference. The fact that there are escalating blinds, one must play and that one cannot quit and take his money until the tournament is over should highlite some obvious differences.
Sklansky is a logician. He understand poker situations better than anyone I know. Tournament situations can be thought of as poker situations with a few exceptions or a few additional factors. However, those additional factors can be described mathematically. This is Sklansky's world - the Mathematics of Poker situations. Nobody does it better. So if you have a poker tournament situation that you want analyzed ask David. David's opinion is second only to my own.
