Default Most difficult game in which to be a skilled player?

Was just debating with a friend about this, did a search but couldn't find anything, I have a feeling this may have been discussed before however. So, which poker game is the most difficult to become a skilled player in?

LHE, NLHE, O/8, PLO, Stud, Stud8, Triple Draw, 5 card draw?

I realize the question is quite vague and there is no definitive answer, as each game caters to somewhat different skills, but just curious to see what people think.

Like you said certain games cater to certain skills but just to answer your question and get some interesting talk going:

LHE - toughest to become very skilled at
O/8 - easiest to become very skilled at

*I'm least familiar with the draw games mentioned.

The only way to know is by playing them. I found razz to be the worst. I realize it's not on the list.

I disagree. While Go is the hardest game by far, if you're good at it, the skill level difference between you and any lesser player is huge. You'll win every time.

Very cool game that Go.
