Einstein versus......

[SomethingClever]

Say you have Einstein and the world's greatest limit hold 'em player, let's say David Sklansky, in a heads-up match.

Assume Einstein has never played the game before, but is taught the basic rules before beginning.

Starting chips 10,000. The blinds are set at 5/10, and never go up.

Who wins?

[ThaSaltCracka]

Sklansky.

What about Einstein vs a bear? Say you train Einstein in no holds barred fighting for a year first? Who wins?

[Lazymeatball]

Sklansky, next question.

Why so cut and dried?

With the blinds and betting limits so low relative to the size of the stacks, don't you think one of the greatest minds of all time would have time to adapt and perhaps put up a challenge?

What if the stacks were a million chips?

here is why its Sklansky too, and I will use anecdotal evidence to support it. Michael Jordan was/is a phenomenal athlete, but he tried to play pro baseball. He was basically taught the basics, and maybe even a little bit more than the basics, but he couldn't even come close to hanging with people that had been playing for years. Its the same way in poker. As Bernie would say, you get out what you put in, and no one could possibly be a winning player right of the bat, no matter how smart they are.

It depends what kind of training he gets. Is it Gracie Jiu Jitsu? What would be the best stylew against a bear. I know the correct answer but want to see what people will say. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
