The 2+2 Hedge Fund

[Dan Mezick]

Sorry if this might be the wrong forum. I wanted to tap the broadest possible audience....


THE 2+2 HEDGE FUND

It is a well known fact that some of the sharpest minds in the world compete with each other daily in the financial markets, capitalizing on opportunities that are among the very largest on earth. David Sklansky needs no introduction, is 100% math-and-logic centric, has a track record of success in zero-sum games. He seems to absolutely love the game of out-smarting the smartest, at the highest possible stakes.

I hereby submit that all long-time 2+2ers draft David Sklansky as chief strategist for the yet-to-be-created “2+2 Hedge Fund ”

What better playground for David to do his thing than in the financial markets? What better investors than the set of all 2+2ers with over 300 posts? Loyal 2+2ers are already bought in, and there is no need to explain complicated concepts like variance, statistical drawdowns, risk of ruin, stop losses, etc.

We, as a group, are Sklansky disciples. By default, we will form the financial core.

We already understand. Where do we sign up?

Loyal 2+2ers can easily provide the initial capitalization, starting with absolutely nothing, by using David’s poker concepts to remove the required seed money from the poker economy.

The money is there, held in trust by the hapless losers that continue to throw good money after bad , day in and day out, in every casino and in every card room in America.

These are the losers. These are the set of all non-2+2ers.


The Best and the Brightest

Once the 2+2 Hedge Fund is established, David can hand-pick his best and brightest poker buddies to step up to the big-time: hedge fund management. David may choose to draft superior poker intellects (for example, Barry Greenstein) to help develop strategies based on poker thinking that consistently extract massive sums from the markets.

The end result, assuming a successful Year1, would be a poker PR bonanza of epic proportions.



2+2 Poker Players, Esteemed Worldwide

Poker critics worldwide will come to understand there really IS something important to learn in poker. They will come to understand that winning poker players are a high form of life. Academics may finally study winning players, seeking to understand what makes them different from other people.

More than a flash in the pan, the Sklansky-driven 2+2 Hedge Fund will put the world on notice that there is much more to poker than dramatic TV, suck-out bad beats and ‘UniBomber’ antics. On the contrary: the 2+2 Hedge Fund will elevate poker thinking to an esteemed art form. This will be inevitable, as the fund extracts billions from the markets, putting the world on notice that individuals that “think in poker” do, quite literally, rule the world.


Summary

The PR value of the Sklansky Hedge Fund will be great for worldwide poker, great for 2+2 and incredibly lucrative for David Sklansky. Not to mention the financial benefits to loyal 2+2ers, who can dollar-cost-average their poker income into an investment vehicle that will be second to none.
