David Sklansky is the author of 14 books about poker, gambling, and
strategy. His best known book, The Theory of Poker, which was
written about 40 years ago, is still considered the most important
book on the subject.
Sklansky has won three World Series of Poker bracelets along with
dozens of other poker tournaments as well as other types of
gambling tournaments. He has consulted with several casino
companies and is the holder of five patents. In addition, he
invented the game that was to become Caribbean Stud and testified
in front of Clinton s Presidential Gambling Commission.
He s still generally considered the number one authority on
gambling theory and attributes his standing in the gambling
community to the following three facts:
1. The fact that he presents his ideas as simply as possible
(sometimes with another author) even though these ideas frequently
involve concepts that are deep, subtle, and not to be found
elsewhere.
2. The fact that David s teachings have proven to be accurate.
3. The fact that to this day a large portion of his income is still
derived from gambling (usually poker, but occasionally blackjack,
sports betting, horses, video games, casino promotions, or casino
tournaments).
Thus, those who depend on David s advice know that he still depends
on it himself.
