It is for real. There is a lot of backstory to this. The short version is that people have been saying that DS has a fondness for African American hookers for a few years. There is a bunch of older stuff on this same subject. I think mostly in News, Views and Gossip, although I'm not sure. The most recent reappearance of this rumor actually got responses from DS. That led to the post you first linked.

It included a slam on Ed Miller and Elaine, that I think was in poor taste.

Wow that thread was amazing, thanks for pointing it out Pie. And for those thinking its anything less than 100% genuine, you obviously don't know much of Sklansky outside of his poker books.

I don't understand the negativity being expressed in this thread about that one. Here's the guy who wrote all your favorite math intensive poker books, some of the dryest stuff on earth, talking about serious personal debauchery. Some of which will get you locked up in most states!

GOLD.

I guess denying rumours of hooker involvement on twoplustwo is -EV.



These threads are very entertaining.

Are you saying I offered a Bellagio waitress money? Joking comments like "hey, you want a sugar daddy?" don't exactly count.


I think of Sklansky saying this, and I can't stop laughing.

Reading this just made my weekend. Everything else is gravy.

From a physically shallow perspective, she was borderline. But she did like poker and astonishingly completed three of four years of medical school.

Am I missing a connection here?

Quote:
...there was no way I was interested in supporting her in exchange for sexaul activity and it was obvious...If she was ten years younger and had a different appearance that part of the story could have been true. (At least until she performed oral sex on a certain excellent Canadian poker player I introduced her to.)

Not only a damn fine poker player but a guy with an acute moralistic sensibility!

You're being ironic, right nside?

I'm waiting for the new Sklansky book:

"I've never solicited a black hooker, but if I had, this is how I would have done it"
