David Sklansky the Einstein of Poker

SKLANSKY
We quoted David Sklansky in a recent poker column which provoked a lot of questions from new players, chief among them being, who is he? Sklansky is generally considered to be to poker what Albert Einstein was to physics. Fairly significant! Those of you who are beginning to take your poker very seriously will be interested in reading his Theory Of Poker book, although it isn't quite as accessible as our own Daily Star ALL THE ACES book! The latter is meant to guide you and prepare you for successful poker. The former is a brain dance through the mathematics of odds, implied odds and what Sklansky calls the 'Fundamental Theorem Of Poker'. Our money's on the one that costs just £3.99 but we're barbarians!
