Default Negreanu comments on Gus Hansen and David Sklansky

On his website, Daniel Negreanu says that Gus Hansen's style is more mathematically optimal than a "David Sklansky type." Is he right?

I think tournament results clearly state who is actually "correct."

David S. somewhere wrote this very thing though that Gus DOES play a mathematical game. In other words, David didn't put himself and Gus in different schools of thought, so I don't see why people will think that it's A or B.

Even if Hansen is a better player (I don't know if he is), does that prove his style is more mathematically optimal? Sklansky has spoken highly of Hansen in the past, so I really hope he give his thoughts on Negreanu's statement.

I think this belongs in the 'poker theory' section.

I think that since this forum is about poker on TV and Daniel and Gus are both poker TV celebs this is a correct forum for this post. It would have probbly been correct to post it many other forums on here as well.

i agree with you, and david has been winning and getting in the money in tournaments and winning consistently in cash games for the 35 years i have known him. thats where my money goes if i had to bet on the long term.

What the Hell is a "David Sklansky type"? And what is the differentiation between 'mathematically optimal’ and ‘DS type’. This whole thing reeks of buffoonery and simple notions run amok and general gossipy nonsense.

The poker world seems more and more seeped in drivel, and more renown for nonsense than sense.

By the way, David Sklansky is not my type.

Sklansky's style lacks imagination according to one famous pro. Perhaps that is the difference.

Yes, the Gus Hansen being more mathematically optical statement befuddles me. Anyone care to enlighten me?
