David Slansky Isn't A Good Poker Writer

[cbragado]

He wrote "Theory of Poker" and "Sklansky on Poker Theory" on different games, Stud, holdem, razz. I sense that you're joking right? Hard to read the tone in your post.

bruiser,

skanskly wrote many of these ideas a long time. what is common sense to us as poker players today was not back then.

he also introduced concepts such as the "semibluff" and a solid starting hand chart.

You seem to have muddled your original opinion with this interesting follow-up post. I am not saying that I agree or disagree with said opinion. But you need to come up with better stuff than this:

Uh, ok. Is that an author?

[ QUOTE ]
most posters on this site

[/ QUOTE ]
What percentage of the posters on this site would you stake to play in the party 30/60?

[ QUOTE ]
practically everyone.

[/ QUOTE ]
Is this everyone on earth?

Sounds like a little bit of reductio ad absurdum to me. Did you forget to check-raise some rivers or something?

I am not saying he isn't a good writer, I read his books a couple times each, but his stuff is kind of mundane and nothing special.

And we all know Doyle was the only writer in Super System.

You're kidding, right? Also, Sklansky wrote a chapter.

A while ago DS wrote that he had not had much experience playing no-limit poker, because of lack of nl-games during the last 20 years. I'm just wondering how he can have a book about nl comming out if he has not played it much????
