Sklansky, the son of a Columbia University professor, describes himself as a child math and logics prodigy. He began playing – and analyzing – the game of poker as a student at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, often cutting classes with fellow students to play. The group would discuss each hand and how it could be played better. Soon, burned out on academics and primed to seek his fortune at the poker tables, Sklansky headed west and became a professional.Sklansky went on to win three World Championship events in the 1980’s but playing eventually took a back seat to writing and consulting.

He was instrumental in the development of the World Poker Tour All-In Hold’Em ® , the new casino game marketed by Lakes Entertainment.Sklansky resides in Las Vegas and is the proud father of a son who is a graduate of Columbia University. |
