What are they?

I believe that a sklansky buck is $1 of expection. So when you play a hand well, but lose, you lose money but have won some sklansky bucks. It's possible "sklansky bucks" is just a loose term for expection, but I hope that the right answer is that they are an actual unit used to measure expection and one sklansky buck is $1 of expectation. Can anyone clarify if that is the case? It's much cooler that way.

Eh I think you're overthinking it. Its just when you make a theoretical profit, or a +EV move even if you happen to lose the hand, you made "Sklansky bucks".

How and where do we convert those to real money? Can someone give me the link? I am sure I have accumulated quite a few of those lately.

As long as you are consistently making Sklansky money, the real money will take care of itself over the long run provided you have a sufficient bankroll.

The Sklansky Dollar is the positive or negative amount of your expectation per bet. People only think of it when they are losing them rather than wining them.
