Random Skalansky Encounters in the Bellagio Cash Games
Mar 07th, 2008
submitted by Neverwin

The time frame was about late November or so I think. I was sitting in a 400-800 bth game with sheiky, wattel, johnny chan, and 3 rich fish and skalansky on my left. At this point I have played in a cash game with him at least 20 times at bellagio but I would bet my life he didnt know my name still, although he recognized me. Anyway he receives a phone call, and immediately starts yelling I told you we have a business relationship and I cannot let u stay at my house right now. I wanted to say something so bad, cuz I knew about everything even then. I kept my mouth shut, but I knew 100 percent it was brandi on the other line cuz I knew her and brandon were in the midst of their 11th breakup or so. But I made a promise to Brandon I wouldnt say anything to anyone back then.

Other Encounter not in Chronological Order:

Early May 2003:
Even my first encounter with him I knew something was weird. This occurred during the first time I ever played with him. It was 80-160 straight holdem and it was the biggest game I ever played in. It was around May of 2003 right before the wsop started. I was like holly shit I am actually playing with the guy that taught me the fundamentals to pound the 10-20 and 20-40 full ring limit games in Chicago, which eventually led me to quitting the my 8am-6pm job and moving to Los Angeles 6 months later. Anyway Huck Seed sat down too. I had no fuckin clue how to play in that game but somehow I ran good and crushed it. Anyway, skalanky had his little horse track book with him at the table. He never played not even ONE HAND, sat out at his bb, went to the sportsbook placed his wagers, missed 2 or 3 rounds, posted his blind, and I swear he repeated this for about 3 or 4 hours. He never paid any attention to the game just kept folding and looking at the next race marking off his picks. 4 hours and played no hands. Thats fuckin wack I don't care what anyone says.

Then the game gets shorthanded like 4 or 5 handed, and he says, I'm done too unless anyone is interested in some Omaha hi low with no restrictions, or maybe it was Stud hi lo with no restrictions. The other players pretty much said no fuckin way I'd play that game with you, your a fuckin math genius. Moral of the story : Sklansky is a feared Hi LO no restrictions specialist be careful.

Finally to Sklansky: Your threating email to Dan Druff was very ambiguous. You targeted 3 people in it. Obviously 2 of them were Micon and Druff. But who was the third? Was it towards me, Martha, Tony G, or someone else, I want some clarification however you need to do it get it done. Less than 24 hours after the threat my house was robbed at 4am in the morning. Whats your beef with me? I never ever ever made one post on your site, I never even made an account there, I never said one bad thing about you before this post, and I knew about this whole business way before anybody knew, LIKE WAAAAAAAAAAY BEFORE ANYONE AND I DIDN'T SAY A WORD. I didn't even know half of any of this shit was even going on till 3 or 4 days when I accidentally called Micon during the radio show which I obviously didn't know was going on either.

I really hope my house was a just a coincidence and I am prolly like 95 percent sure it was, however the timing raises some suspicion. This is a perfect example why you do not threaten people, when things like this happen. Also your line about I dont care if it costs me 25k if it costs you 5k is fuckin laughable. I hope you made those comments in the midst of some anger, but I certainly did not bring on any of this towards you and expect you to retract those threats towards me if they were intended towards me.

I will start blogging every single day if need be until I get a response. If there's no problems, clarify it and its done. I speak for myself and nobody else.

When I saw your house got robbed, I was actually in fear too because I posted about it (inbred sue) on my blog.
