Default Re: Brunson \' quote about Sklansky

[ QUOTE ]
Brunson says : " How can you say , for instance , that I am better player than David Sklansky or Mike Caro ? I think that obviously I am a , but the two of them are the foremost authorities on poker . They know everything , the situations , what you're suppose to do , WHEN IT COMES TIME TO PERFORM THEM , THEY CANT DO IT . They chill up or something happen .

I used to hear this crap all the time. Mid-limit players I would play with would say that they played with Sklansky and that he could talk the talk but not walk the walk.

This is obviously quite silly, as poker is not a physical sport like basketball, or require fine dexterity like brain surgery. Obviously if he writes to raise limpers preflop with AKs, there is nothing preventing him from doing it in a live game.
