Who loves themselves the most?

I think this comment alone might push you to the top of the list David.

That line caused me to laugh more than anything I've read on the internet in a long time. Not that the statement is absurd or anything (it's very likely true, IMO)... It just utterly typifies everything that IS David Sklansky.

As soon as I saw the title of this thread, I expected the 'Shana Hiatt playboy photos' thread to be resurrected to accompany it [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

My favorite Line in any 2+2 book I have read is in Tournament Poker for Advanced Players; by Sklansky.

At one point he is talking about possible hand combinations or something to that affect and then there is this line.

"If you don't know how I got that, then stop reading this book now. You are not ready for it and you deserve to lose your money."

So as far as humor value goes I think Sklansky wins this contest.

BeerMoney is a genius...I was just wondering the same thing. Paul seems pretty high on the "people I don't want to meet" list. Those that are born with that rare of intelligence could have easily been born with some sort of, dare I say it, retardation. Be thankful and put it to good use instead of flashing 15 letter words to degrade others on a poker forum. Lose the smug and be a cool millionaire.

Greatest thing I've read on these boards yet. I believe this may be the moment I officially became a Sklansky-ite.

Also, I find it interesting that Lederer was included in your list. Beings that I'm just a midwestern college boy, I don't know anything about Lederer other than what I've seen on televised poker. Comments on Lederer's ego would be interesting to hear. Of course, it'd be great if someone could get him to post here as well... if only one of our posters knew him well enough to talk him into it...

without a doubt...I love myself the most out of anyone on the forum or in the poker world today.

probably 9 or 10 times a day at least if I'm bored....

What's the problem with being full of yourself. Both Paul and David have earned it. Paul is a genius, and sure he's a dick, but hey it comes with the territory.
As for David, he doesn't seem to full of himself, although I'm sure he is and, for that matter, should be. If your one of the best poker authors ever, wouldn't you be cocky.
