Seriously. Does he even have a
Hendon Mob Page ?
I didn't think so.

play him heads up for 10k and expose his inabilities to the world.

I have no idea how good shainiac is, but I'm not sure El D will pony up 10k to play vs just anybody, but I may be wrong.
That said, it seems his value is just as high if not higher as a mentor/coach and clear opinion as it is as a poker player. I don't care to see him at my table, but I also didn't run from him when I have. Then again, I played 6 hours of 2-4 handed 25-50 NL with Tom Keller and Prahlad Friedman one night, so my game selection is less than stellar. I certainly wouldn't put MY 10k up versus him,(especially since I don't have it right now....).
Long as you don't rankle him, or he's not already pre-rankled or feeling mischievous, El D is about the best consistent advice you will see on these pages.
