Question to David Sklansky re. Something You Said About IQ/Poker

[partygirluk]

I just spoke to one of the World's very very finest bridge players and he says you are wrong on this matter. He said that a certain prominent World Class bridge famly are "pretty average IQ", and that "talent has a big part top lay in bridge".

I know all of the top youth players in the UK, and some of them are really not that smart.

Someone with an IQ of 120 is much less likely to become world class at bridge, backgammon, and poker than someone with an IQ of 150. In the first two games he is almost drawing dead. In poker he still has a chance, especially in short handed games or pot limit or no limit. But not much of one.
