Default This thread was not about David Sklansky.



I'm really surprised that I did not recieve more comments about my "SKLANSKY, EASY LIKE SUNDAY MORNING!" post. It is very obvious that I was making sarcasm. Well trying to make a point using sarcasm, maybe it wasn't obvious but I was.


When this recreational, call or raise every hand, player blurted out how easy a player David is I was shocked. I will admit I have heard negative comments about the 2 + 2 boys books before. But never about David's play in the $80 - 160 Bellagio game.


It may have been wrong to get mad but this guy really pissed me off. After all David is one of my Hero's. I suppose I expectd a lot of commens in support of David. Now I realize that there are not a lot of people that read this forum that play in the 80 - 160 Bellagio games. So how would anyone know how David plays. I can only tell you from my experience while watching (sweating) David that he plays as well as he writes. Hey am i making this worse? First I writ he's easy now I write he's tough just what in the hell am I trying to do any way? You asking me? Hey let's just say that I was able to relay a little bit about my poker Sunday with my buddy Dangerous Dan by using David. Those of you that read it know that I played 20 - 40 Holdem. Played almost all day (9 hours) and left $130 ahead. That's reporting my experience, isn't it? More likely than not I will use something like this that happens during my sessions while I'm on the road to talk about how I did. That means if you want stats you may have to dig them out.


Mohegan Sun is an interesting place to play. It is a amall room. Mostly low limit on the approximately 40 tables. They have a couple of table games in the room. I believe there is "Carribean Stud" and/or "Let it ride!". The 20 Holdem game, when it goes, is almost always a rockem and sockem affair. At some point during each session I have played there, I have experienced "California 6 - 12 DeJavu". "Cap it" becomes the phrase of the day. For some reason everyone seems to lose their sanity at almost the same time. When this happens the feeding frenzy begins. The one or two grizzlees in the game walk out over the rocks and grab up a hand full of pink salmon and begin to chomp down. Some of the more elusive ones escape but you can tell that the next mating season is not far off and those that survived this time will suely be gobbled up the next.


There were also a 20 - 40 and a 40 - 80 Stud game going the whole time I was there so I believe weekends are good mid limit times.


Well, enough of that. I wrote this to let everyone know that my Sklansky post was a bit o sarcasm pointed in the direction of the player that told me "Sklansy is easy". Well maybe he is but I wouldn't bet on it.
