any side investments you've made that weren't stocks? restaurants, bars, small business etc? shaun deeb bought into firehouse subs lol but anyone with half a brain could of told you it was burning money
all ill say on this is if youre not laundering money any business venture needs to be a labor of love or it will fail. you can't have more than one or maybe two labors of love at a time. if you cant pour your heart and soul into the venture and love every minute of it youre better off just owning the stocks of companies where their management team loves and lives the company (brk.a)
Should he be allowed to shill his boring 1/3 poker book on 2+2 after encouraging an underage girl he was romantically involved with to commit suicide?
I dont know if any of the details of that situation are proven facts. that said you can't make someone who isn't seriously mentally deficient or temporarily mentally incapacitated commit suicide with words imo. people do what they want to do and suicide isn't necessarily a bad thing. suicide should be safe (people committing suicide often injure/kill others) and legal and generally rare.
Sklansky is a literal legend of poker. He deserves respect and his poker ideas should be taken seriously. that doesnt meant people shouldn't push back or question him in a respectful manner. I immediately pushed back on how he played kings in his new book and instantly gave the correct answer (amongst a lot of noise) on to how to play the hand which he and mason begrudgingly agreed with.

She was mentally deficient and underage when he met her. mason told Sklansky to stfu stop defending himself on here cause even he knew it looked insanely bad and swept everything under the rug.

Unfortunately I guess Sklansky was right

I am thinking better.
For instance I realize that "extortion" is the better word than "blackmail".
You are an extortionist. You threatened to hurt me if I didn't do something.
That is undeniable. Technically you are also a blackmailer because of your
$260 request. And there is little doubt you would have soon asked for a lot
more. But I don't want to use a word that you have an argument against.
So every poker player big, or small, that I know, I will tell that you are
an extrtionist. Who used the plight of a handicapped girl as your weapon.
They
will also meet her. So that it will be clear that the relationship is to her
benefit. And that you were not exposing a "wrong". I will also tell then
that you are a medicre poker player who will probably try to steal from
anyone
who stakes you. I will not ask card rooms to bar you. But they well might
just
do that to please me. Don't think my ignoring you on our site is anything
but acquiescing to Mat and Mason. Most of my waking momets are still
devoted to
you.
You on the other hand can tell people I am a creepy pervert. I can easily

with me. They were never interested in my dick's activities anyway. You
on the
other hand will be left only with those guys who are trying to **** you.
So you see that it is probably not neccessary for me to do anythig illegal
to make sure you get what you deserve. HOWEVER it is important to
understand
that you might be in such jeapardy without my knowledge. For instance you
know I have young friends, who have friends, who have friends who do nasty
things at the blink of an eye. Drive by shootings etc. To do something
like throw
some paint on a good dress would be nothing to them. If I ever told my
friends that your obsession with your looks means that you would be
appalled if
that happened to you once, let alone a dozen times, they might do that
behind my
back just to please me. Asking nothing in return They might even think I'd
like it better if it was acid rather than paint since that would mean people
would say "guess you can't talk about Sue now". I would never want them
to to
do that but you never know about those guys.
The reason I am telling you this is not because there is something you could
do to change things. There is nothing you can do either for me or to me. No,
the reason I am telling you is because the anticipation of wondering what
will happen is at least as bad as the act itself. You proved that to me
when you
put me through the anguish of worrying about Sue. Basically the only option
available is to leave the poker world forever. Ply your trade elsewhere.
Suicide wouldn't be a bad option either. If you do that I will promise to
stop
badmouthing you.
Notice that I am sending a copy of this email to Jenn. We have put her
through a lot so the least I could do was send her something that I know
will
provide her some enjoyment.
She was mentally deficient and underage when he met her. mason told Sklansky to stfu stop defending himself on here cause even he knew it looked insanely bad and swept everything under the rug.
So sklansky was arrested? Don’t you get arrested if you are a molester? I missed all of the end of this I suppose.
No, he got away with it and still sells books on the social media platform he used to abuse his power.
Well now ya know
wow. so david sklansky molested a minor then convinced that minor to kill themselves and this is all documented fact and he got off scott free? seems he has a much better book in him than one on 1-3nl. Criminal Masterminding for Advanced Players? Super/Criminal?

Look into it more and you’ll find you do not want to send this man $22 or banter with him about poker.
It has hard to remember the exact details as it was so long ago and Mason made David shut up and deleted the most inciriminating stuff.
It was sketchy af. I thought u would have an opinion on it given that’s kind of ur shtick. Over opinionated on everything but here I guess ur like well he wasn’t convicted so can we really know?
He is clearly a POS whether convicted or not, whether u think he is a fellow poker legend or not.
This would 100% get deleted if they still owned the site. Not bc it’s not true. But bc if Mason let Sklansky defend himself it was go horribly like it did in the past
You’ve mentioned there is rampant and unavoidable cheating in cash games online. Outside of RTA, do you believe there are other forms of cheating regularly occurring in MTTs on popular sites e.g. ACR? If so, pls expand a bit on how this could happen/ is likely happening given size of fields and random seating.
I've never played golf and want to start. How should I go about this? Worth getting a lesson first? And what should I look for in an instructor? Should I invest in decent clubs or buy cheap to start?

you're confusing the love interest he lived with vs the love interest he had a following out with who killed herself soon after he told her that's the best option she had

he did try to arrange a threesome with the both of em so not a hard mistake to make
also i'm not sure his wife was underage, let's be fair. she was just inbred, autistic and 40 years his junior. they met over a phonesex line, so let's not slander him with this underage talk

Im still trying to figure out why any of this would effect my decision to read a poker book.
How do you deal with being stuck behind slow players on the golf course?
i dont mind or really notice.
i can play super fast, im one of the fastest golfers there is. i dont really take practice swings or line up puts 90% of the time. I feel like theres rarely a time when i strike a shot the way i wanted that i dont look up and see it flying the way i wanted. so my only goal is flushing shots, they'll end up in the right place if i do that.
I can also play super slow, futzing with something in my swing or looking in the bushes for golfballs, posting in this thread or whatever (ive never purchased a golf ball in my lifE). i like hanging out at the golf course and dont mind being there all day.
