David Sklansky is a freakin' genius. I just played in a series of two no limit hold 'em tournaments tonight, and I won one and placed second in the other. Before the tournament, I bought his book on tournament poker, and read it. I followed his good advice, like avoiding close decisions, and saving your chips for those times when you are a heavy favorite. All the old-timers are great! They're cash game specialists. When they started playing, there were very few tournaments, so they played in cash games. Concepts translate over to tournament poker, but not all of them. Some (like Sklansky) believe that the $10,000 tournament at the WSOP should be a multi game format, like HORSE (Hold 'em, Omaha, Razz, Stud eight or better; I think). Anyway, Sklansky is great! He's just money. Badmouthing him is idiocracy.
