I don't understand why i ask an interesting question

So much to learn....sigh...

1) Let others decide on how interesting/relevant your post is. Please make an effort to figure out why.

2) Having a Masters degree is a good indicator of intelligence. Not having a Masters degree does not mean you are not intelligent. Misspelling, on a consistent basis, is a very good indicator of low intelligence.

Yes. I notice from all of your posts that you always leave out any reference to poker. Everyone of your posts is a critique or some sarcasm directed at someone. Why is that?

"Going to college and getting a degree has NOTHING to do with intelligence"

What about going to say Princton, and getting a degree in say, electrical engineering?

Not that far from Harvurd.

quote: Players such as Layne Flack, Scotty Ngyuen, PHIL IVEY, Mike mattusow(not sure at top but a threat), Jonny Chan, Hoyt Corkins, and many others are people that wouldn't be considered very intelliigent people. At least in the sense that furgeson uses [ QUOTE ]


Trust me on this Chris dosn't think he is more intelligent then these other top pro's. Yes he has degrees yes most of them don't. But don't think for a second that any one of them couldn't be a collage grad. They are all extremley intelligent people even mike the mouth who comes off like an idot is actuly close to geneius level IQ. He is an extremly intelligent man.

I think the point your trying to make is this. All great porker pro's have a sixth sense about them. In this you are correct. I fell they are geniuses in the area of logic.
I also fell that many of the great poker players to some degree are telepathic. I my self often see my opponets hands in my head before they show there cards. And I do mean that I actuly visualise the cards. I have layed down hands you wouldn't belive,strights, fluhes, AA, KK, people at the tables sometimes think I'm crazy, but sometimes I just see the cards in my head and I know the hand. I fell strongly that most of the great pro's do the same.

In closing don't think for a momment that just because they don't have degrees that many of the top pro's are just as intelligent a Chris and yes Chris is totally a poker genius. doug the ice man
