[ QUOTE ]
Yes I'm aware of that, maybe I wasn't clear about my question. May I put it this way: Is it realististic to win more than 50 gran a year on 3/6 (or 5/10) playing 3 tables only following the guidelines of "Small Stakes Hold'em" (and do it well of course) without any extraordinary "expert" skills? I believe that is what Sklansky says or am I misinterpreting him? [/ QUOTE ] I personally would rather kill myself than play 4 table SSHE as a full time job, but yes it is very doable, especially with bonuses. |

ive been curious about this quote over the last month or so, after reading Sklansky's other quote, something to the effect of "to make 50k a year requires an iq of over 130, hard work, discipline, etc."
to me this seems a far cry from "no big deal". either sklansky is getting senile, or he is being quite disingenuous here (or there is another explanation of which i am not aware). can somebody successfully reconcile these two apparently contradictory quotes? |

I agree. |

I agree. [/ QUOTE ] I feel incredibly blessed to have an IQ of 128. I almost feel like I won a major prize in the Ovarian lottery. I didn't do anything to deserve what I have other than being born. You are correct that an IQ of 130 or higher is no big deal though - unless of course you actually do something worthwhile with it. It's not about what you are blessed with. It's about what you do with your blessings. |

well i guess the quote is not necessariliy contradictory. i think it is definitely misleading, though, for your average joe, with an average iq. he will read this line, and soon entertain silly fantasies of playing professional poker. personally, though, i think someone with an iq of around 75 could be taught without excessive difficulty to succeed at party 2/4, so perhaps the quote is not so harmful.
