Brunson ' quote about Sklansky

[PiquetteAces]

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 .

That 's come from " championship tables at the WSOP 1970-2002 on page 50 .

So , Brunson think he is OBVIOUSLY a better player than David Sklansky .

Brunson might think : " I play 2000-4000 & higher when while David Sklansky play almost only HE30-60 . I have 9 wsop'bracelets and DS has only 1 ."

Sklansky might think : " 2000-4000 & higher is to big for my bankroll , and even if it was ,a lineup with Doyle Brunson , Johnny Chan , Daniel Negranue , Chip Reese , Annie Duke , etc make me only a very small favorite & in the long run I will have an higher hourly rate playing 30-60HE with some tourists and a lot less pressure .What is for the bracelets , I am not a tournement ' specialist and I play less than half a dozen of tournement a year because I think that my skills are more usefull in a cash game "

For me , I think that Brunson is wrong when he says that they dont perform ; I dont think that Caro & Sklansky ( or Mason Malmuth, or Ray Zee ) need to sell books to support some poker ' loses .

any comments would appreciated , and comments from David Sklansky would be a lot appreciated .
