ive been curious about this quote over the last month or so, after reading Sklansky's other quote, something to the effect of "to make 50k a year requires an iq of over 130, hard work, discipline, etc."

[/ QUOTE ]

David thinks that having an IQ over 130, working somewhat hard, and having some discipline is no big deal. I agree.

I feel incredibly blessed to have an IQ of 128. I almost feel like I won a major prize in the Ovarian lottery. I didn't do anything to deserve what I have other than being born.

You are correct that an IQ of 130 or higher is no big deal though - unless of course you actually do something worthwhile with it.

It's not about what you are blessed with.

It's about what you do with your blessings.

How many tables, bro?

Re: Quotation from \"Small Stakes Hold\'em\"
 

well i guess the quote is not necessariliy contradictory. i think it is definitely misleading, though, for your average joe, with an average iq. he will read this line, and soon entertain silly fantasies of playing professional poker. personally, though, i think someone with an iq of around 75 could be taught without excessive difficulty to succeed at party 2/4, so perhaps the quote is not so harmful.

50k is about 1500 per week.
