Best single game for determination of heads-up skill?
 

Opinions need here, folks.

What game do you guys think is best to determine heads-up skill? Ideally, it would be multiple games, but we're talking only one game here - one form of poker.

I've heard arguments for Stud H/L or Limit hold'em, myself. Your opinions?

Please read my post.

Single game, not mixed games.

Deepstacked NLHE.

Or maybe NL 5-stud. I've read here and elsewhere that this game takes more skill and less luck than anything else.

surely, deep stack nl 5 card stud. in no other poker game can the knife be thrust so deeply..............h

I say No-Limit texas hold'em, but NOT in a tournament structure. The better player has a huge edge in No-Limit hold'em over a weaker opponent.

Blind man's bluff. No doubt at all.

this is kind of a weird question.

i think each form of poker only assesses how good you are at that form of poker. i know thats fairly intuitive but my point is that NL holdem heads up really only assesses how good you are at playing NL holdem heads up.

so ultimately H.O.R.S.E or some other battery of games would be best if you wanted to determine who is the best all round heads up player.

if you are asking "which game is the hardest to play heads up?" I would guess PL holdem or PL ohama split are hardest heads up mainstream poker variants. PL 2-7 triple draw or PL stud8 sounds difficult to me as well (I haven't played either of these two heads up, I don't think many people have)
