Does David Sklansky theory and Mike Caro theory ever conflict with each other on any certain topics. If so what are the topics and have they ever been debated/resolved?

They differ on table image. Caro values a LAG image for all the extra calls you will get. Slansky prefers a tight image because he is able to bluff more and get free cards more easily post flop. Slansky also reasons the chips you invest in a LAG image are too expensive of a price for advertising.
Slansky does make an interesting point that his image can be different depending on the action of the game, and he adjusts his play accordingly. |

Mike Caro's long starting hand chart in his Professional Holdem Report. [/ QUOTE ] That's 90% Malmuth. Vaguely 1. Starting hand charts 2. Raising preflop in hold'em 3. Value of tells 4. Value getting extra bets vs stealing pots 5. Value of small pairs in stud. |

[/ QUOTE ] Do you know if they've ever debated these differences? They are both top innovators of poker theory, I wonder if they ever bounce things off each other to try to figure things out, or if it's more of a competitive thing. |

In pre-flop early position Caro is not a fan of raising AA in limit holdem. He says that it is a hand in which you desire a multiway pot. You should just call, he says.
