As far as prognosticators of market movements or as far as explanantions of stock valuations or trading strategies, you guys are pretty good poker players. Perhaps we've all been given talents for certain specific job related tasks. Its clear where yours lie.

P.S. I enjoy your books immensely and your poker accumen is invaluable to me.

I do not have any great poker accumen. I am better at poker than almost anyone including thousands who have more poker talent, simply because I am smarter than they are. Arrogant but true. The same thing would happen if I applied myself to most other fields.

Is that how it works, smarter = better and smartest = best, or are you an exception? Or do other factors, like temperment, experience, discipline, instestinal fortitude, etc. play big roles?

Are the best 80/160 players smarter than the best 30/60 players and so on and so on, down to the 4/8 players?

Eventually you get as good at poker that you can be for as smart as you are?

I need to know, cuz I'm smart, but I'm no El Diablo, ole!
