    You can’t fool me, that’s a fake sign!

    Speaking of Poker and God, did you see Skanskys bet that being a Christian made you stupid (or stupider than a poker guru at least)? I couldn’t work out whether he really believed it, or had been practicing his SATs nonstop for the last two years, and was being just being controversial in the hopes of finding a mark easier.

    I suspect he just genuinely believes what he’s saying

    He has his own forum on 2+2 now, which he uses to display his general weirdness. And wrongness. It’s been an eye-opener, and an out and out mistake on his part. Don’t go there if you are easily disturbed.
