I came across this line the other night while reading. I laughed and then wondered what are some of the other favorite Sklansky quotes out there...

"If you don't know how I got that, stop reading this book right now. You are not ready for it. You don't know enough about poker. And, you deserve to lose."

That whole story about eyes and robots from Poker, Gaming and Life. Sklansky should write science fiction, not poker strategy.

I read that line a few years ago. I stopped reading immediately, and improvised some math on an envelope to get the correct answer. "phew!" I thought. I guess I don't deserve to lose. Then I continued reading.

I don't remember the wording exactly, but he was talking about other players in a 5/10 NL game from way back:

A lot of the players didn't like me; they thought I was "arrogant".

"
Anyway because of my stength and the size of five year olds bodies and necks I believe I could easily handle thirty. If there were fifty they would probably be favorites IF they were trained perfectly. The average guy my age though would lose to twenty. "
