So @kory_kilpatrick came to the chapel & gave a talk about how he taught himself to play poker for a living
while playing poker
and was up $1300(?) by the time he stopped talkingpic.twitter.com/LO09JXPo9h

This was a short talk, y'all. With uninvited adversarial Q&A. I'm still not entirely sure what I just watched aside from some truly insane executive cognition

@kory_kilpatrick is there a manual for mere mortals? -
1. Become obsessed. 2. Travel back in time a decade. 3. Successfully walk across the dung-covered backs of 15 castrated bulls. 2 and 3 follow naturally once you take care of 1.

That’s interesting that he succeeded at it. Nate Silver, in his book The Signal and the Noise, talks about how he was never better than mediocre. He gave up around 2013 or so, iirc. If the best public statistician couldn’t do it, I figured it couldn’t be done; looks like it can.

Ha. Wondering now how many (ex)pro poker players attend your church. Figuratively and literally.

From the screen shot it sure looks like he is playing illegally from the U.S...

What's most amazing is that he's mostly abandoning those skills, in recognition that the era of human domination of poker is ending.

Repurposing, not abandoning :) And yea, professional online poker is (slowly) on the way out, but I still would've moved on if it weren't. There's too much cooler and more meaningful stuff to do
