I found this rather amusing. Here is an attempt @ posting the link http://www.pokerplayernewspaper.com/...rrentissue.pdf Anyhow pg 11 in poker player magazine interview with Mike Caro.

Interviewer "A bit of an ego maniac, huh?"

Caro " I Am an ego maniac" " If we were to hold a tournament to determine the world champion ego maniac, I would definitely make the final table." A long pause before going on, " but I wouldn't be the winner. No the final would probably be Phil Hellmuth going heads up with David Sklansky."

Of course I am a Sklansky 2+2 fan, but ifound this very amusing, and wanted to share it with the forum.
thanx

That's both amusing and true.

That's odd. Sklansky never striked me as an egomaniac.

Do you have any idea how painful it is to have hot coffee violently expelled from your nose?

A 50 year old man still quoting SAT scores to prove how great he is being accused of being an ego maniac?

Inconceivable.

Just because Slansky could have won a Nobel Prize, people think he is egotistical.

Yes, that is correct. According to my sources here in Stockholm, Sklansky was actually supposed to recieve to Nobel Prize for literature this year, but since the Swedish Academy couldn't agree on a motivation (or whatever you call it in English, you know "for his bla bla..") they picked some British playwright instead.

If you feel that you have an eloquent explanation as to why Mr. Sklansky should recieve the prize, please email the chairman of the Swedish Academy at horace.engdahl@akademin.se (or post it here, or pm me). Thank you.
