has anyone else lost respect for sklansky lately?
 

between his "scared kid on the playground" handling of the negreanu challenge and his half-hearted stabs at anyone of faith, i cant say i still look forward to reading his posts.

his supposed intellectual superiority seems to be wearing thin lately, bolstered by his hesitance to put his money where his mouth is (concerning negreanu).


and then his stabs at middle america, with his subtle and implied insults towards anyone who does not doubt the existence of God or the divinity of Jesus or whatever else he may not wholeheartedly suscribe to.

i think david as of late can be summed up in one recent quote- "logic supersedes God". between the accompanying arrogance and utter "are you serious?"ness of it all, that has easily become my favorite 2+2 quote of all time.

in all honesty i laughed for 3 or 4 minutes when i read that the first time. this isnt all a shot at david, being that i dont think hell read this post seeing the title. but i am curious if im the only one getting this impression.

no - how could you lose respect for a guy for speaking his mind?

I haven't been following this stuff very closely, but if he said "logic supercedes God," then he has gained my respect, rather than lost it.

Regarding Negreanu, I think Sklansky comes across as more intelligent by not playing him. If he played and lost, that would damage his reputation greatly in the eyes of many, who would overlook variance and other considerations.

No. He has his preoccupations and I have mine.

Grits can be tasty, though.

Sklansky is best read through his books. His posts online are retarded.

Maybe you think the stuff he says is stupid?

Do you have respect for David Duke?

How could I ever lose faith in the author of my "Bible": Theory of Poker?
