Sklanksy is at the Final Table for 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball. Figured i would make the thread about it to save us all from having sklanksy create his own incomprehensible thread. Thoughts?

2-7 is my least favorite game. I wouldn't even put up $1500 for it if i was rich.

I wonder if everyone at the FT washes their hands.

john phan is the chip leader, and if he wins this, he'll be the first dual bracelet winner of the '08 wsop

If he tilts his opponent into flipping for the bracelet again by playing so slowly, he's got every chance.

John Phan does not get to win a second bracelet.

Sklansky will lose because he does not believe in a God of any kind.

Hard to win with God rooting against you.

When has Sklansky ever said he doesn't believe in God? Surely Sklansky wouldn't pass up the freeroll that is Pascal's wager.

Maybe he can put some money forward to the site and start a live voice chat room, that would be cool IMO

He won't win. If the stars align and by some miracle he pulls it off though, it will be great to see how his ego will be distorted even further.

My thought is that now, instead of a 'My final table'-thread, we'll get a 'My thoughts on the Sklansky at a FT-thread'-thread.

"Final table: revisited", "Final Table: Not as final as you think", then "What you really need to know about the final table"

He should point his index to the sky and say "This one's for you Naami" when he wins...

¿Too soon?
