Super World Class Smart
In a thread in SMP Sklansky said the following:
[ QUOTE ] Only in some very specialized endeavors do I consider myself super world class smart. Such as teaching moderately intelligent eight year olds to do word problems that require quadratic equations. I'm also more likely to come up with clever shortcuts or creative analogies regarding certain types of problems, than most of those people who are a little smarter than me. [/ QUOTE ] It most likely would be something very specific as above for obvious reasons. For example I would never consider saying "doing physics" or "teaching" or even "teaching children gymnastics" despite considering myself to be very good or excellent at all of those things. So, is there something at which you consider yourself to be world class and why? (David what, if any, are the others for you?) |

I wish I were world class at something but I suspect that my answer is the same as just about everyone else's here: I'm just not

I suppose poker. Of course I guess you need to define world class. But it certainly is the only thing I'm naturally good at.

Re: Super World Class Smart
One reason you are probably not a world class poker player is lack of mastery of many games. I know nothing about you, but if you can't hold your own in a high limit mixed game you're not a world class poker player.

Re: Super World Class Smart
My bills are all paid by people I never see who play with cards that aren't even real. I have made more in a single
day than I had ever seen in my entire previous life. You can see why I might live in a fantasy world. |

I am really [censored] good at pin the tail on the donkey. I get lost easy driving, dont have a good sense of direction, but you can spin me and move me and I just keep track of how far Ive moved and where that [censored] donkey is.
