I've recently signed up for the RSS feed for UB's blog, where their resident pros blog sporadically post their musings. Today, Micheal Binger was commenting on his little break from poker to organize his place so that he could get all his physics shit in order.
I have so much respect for people with PhD's. Even though I was successful in school, I couldn't wait to get out after getting my college degree. I work with a couple of PhD's and I know I just couldn't stay in school for as long as they did. I needed to apply my knowledge.
But I guess I'm just a practical problem solver. The PhD's I know tend to have problems separating the theoretical and the practical. They come up with all these wonderful equations on how to solve abstract concepts, but can't them apply them in a useful way.
But clearly in Binger's case, he's been able to apply some abstract concepts to the poker table and be successful with them. Good for him. He just gained a little more respect from me today.
