    This post demands a few answers.

    Like which part of this post embarrassed you to the point you created a dupe?

    Your watching some $5/10 poker game on the Internet?

    You think Limon isn't struggling ever since McDonalds switched up their ad campaign and left the clown behind?

    What on earth would this pedophile who hosts a poker forum that was last relevant 10 years ago have to say that would interest anyone.

    Monday Night Football is on. Just post here if you need help,with the rules.

    If football is too violent crack open a beer and retune your life with a little Bill Burr. I'll help make this easy. It's an hour. It's a lot of comedy in one sitting. But I sense you need a comprehensive retooling.

    If nobody called to ask about Sue, I'm going to be very disappointed.

    That situation, which I believe still exists 7 years later, is creepy beyond words.

    David, Is your ideal companion a member of the Brownies or the 4-H Club? Please note that the animal may not be included in any of your planned activities. That would be against the law.

    There were some incredibly lame prank calls but none with any Sklansky dirt. Abe offered some thickly veiled trolls which flew a mile above David's head. Technical problems abruptly ended the show.

    Sklansky was extremely distracted or possibly has entered into outright senility. He was taking very very long pauses to respond and sometimes losing the plot mid-sentence. Mostly it was his standard delusional self-tooting. He talked about the algebra book for 10-year-olds he's writing -- he just needs to find someone with actual mathematics credentials to co-author. (Despite David's hand wavy genius status, the highest degree he's achieved is a HS diploma.) We heard about all the amazing table games he's invented which aren't being played anywhere on any casino floor. He got STEAMED UP about bots and the advanced academic work being done on poker by people far more intelligent than him. Probably the dooziest quote was that he's hardly played any poker for years but remains one of the 10 best players on Earth.

    Thanks for the summary.

    David looks very sickly these days. It wouldn't surprise me if he's dead soon.

    I didn't realize that David only has a HS diploma. I was pretty sure he was college educated.

    I think David overestimates his intelligence and math genius status because he was unusual in poker back in the '70s as one of the "math guys", rather than being a Doyle type "feel" player, which was much more common in the era.

    Nowadays, math nerd genius types are very common in poker, and many are smarter than Sklansky (and better at poker than he ever was).

    If David was 40 years younger and came into the game post-boom, he would never have been relevant in poker.

    The thing that has always bothered me about David is how he seems to like to take advantage of vulnerable young girls.

    I don't begrudge the guys who are just old bastard pervs, who throw money and gifts at young chicks in exchange for a sexual relationship. At least in that situation both parties know what it is, and both are getting something out of it.

    But David seemed to focus upon needy young girls who got with him out of desperation.

    He brought that Saura girl (unstable, bad home life situation) to live with him when she was just 16. Saura, who is now around 30, has spoken in Sklansky's defense before, but that's immaterial. At the time he basically took in a 16-year-old runaway and had a sexual relationship with her.

    He took advantage of Brandi Hawbaker's emotional illnesses and made countless sexual overtures toward her. When he got mad at her, he told her in March 2008 that she would be better off killing herself, and just a month later she did exactly that. I wonder if David feels even the slightest bit guilty about that situation.

    Worst of all, he took the clearly mentally-challenged (and young) Sue in as a romantic/sexual partner, and I believe that situation still exists to this day. Sue isn't a gold-digger type who is using Sklansky for money or support. She lacks such sophistication, and instead Sklansky is playing father figure/caretaker while turning it into a sick sexual relationship with someone not fully competent to understand what's going on.

    It seems like the guy's basic M/O is to find girls decades his junior in a desperate/disabled state, offer to "help", and then make moves to turn it sexual.

    Sick stuff.

    He loves to spread half-truths that he was an actuary who attended Wharton business school at UPenn. The truth is he dropped out as an undergrad to take a grunt accounting job where he passed a few actuarial exams but never came close to finishing the entire series to gain licensure.
