Default Stu Ungar v. Sklanksy

granted david is quite the mathematician and has a brilliant mind, could he compete, heads up, with the raw incredible talent of Stu Ungar? I want serious answers becasue it is truly the exact two opposites of the poker spectrum going heads up.

The winner is Stu. No offense to DS, but if someone can make a call like that and negate your ability to bluff. Well I don't see how anyone could beat him.

You don't think Stu ever called with 10 high and got shown the nuts? Pobably wouldn't make as good of an article.

This game would be a toss up. If you researched Stu's games you would find out that he was always a paranoid freak thinking that everyone was trying to bluff him. Just like Barry G. said you never heard about Stuey making a big lay down, just this strategy would be enough for Sklansky to have an edge. Stuey only had one gear he would attack all the time even when his opponent had him beat he would attack sometimes his opponent would lay down a winner sometimes they wouldn't. The guy had the biggest fluctuation compared to any other poker player alive. Another thought is that Sklansky wouldn't play Stuey heads up in no limit where this would favor Stuey knowing this He would offer a mix game and the type of action freak Stuey was, he wouldn't turn down the offer my prediction D.Sklansky.
