OT: Which poker discipline requires the greatest skill?

No limit holdem. Stud Hi/Lo is a close second imo. A lot of people will argue that Pot limit requires more skill than no-limit, but I tend to disagree. Very deep stacked no-limit is a very difficult game.

...and that can't be countered by very deep stacked PLH.

these games rarely run on the eastcoast.

Stud8 might require the most skill to master, but it actually takes very little time to learn to beat the low limit games.

This is probably in the wrong forum, but i'll post it here anyway since i mainly only visit 1 table-tourny section.

In my opinion NL Texas holdem requires more skill then limit, but in your opinion which of the other poker disciplines requires the MOST skill?

I got into texas holdem mainly because it's the game they all play on TV and is undoubtedly the most popular form of online poker. Now i want to find a game that has a larger "skill" element for me to try my hand at. In your opinion which of the other games actually involve more skill (if any)? And a side question is, do you play any other games then Texas holdem? If not, do you intend to play any other games?

EDIT: I realise it is impossible to define which game requires the most skill, but just interested in your opinion on which requires the most skill

Hello, There!

I have limited experience (3,025 SNG's NL, 300 SNG's PL, 300 SNG's L). With that understood, for whatever it is worth, my current opinion is that Pot Limit requires the most skill.

Have a great day!

Micro & Irie, just to add: The one word that irks me the most is the misuse of the non-word "irregardless." Folks, regardless IS the word.

Another amusing example is the word "bloviation", which is an example of what it purports to impugn.

Stanzee, this is not directed at you. The confusion between when you use "then" or "than" is rampant. This is just a public service announcement. It does not bother me in the least that people don't know which one to use and I don't think any less of anyone's poker analysis because of it.

"than" is used for comparison.

"then" has to do with ordering.

Microbet, this is not directed just at you. But where the fck do some of you get off hijacking Stanzee's posts?

And you know what really gets me? the need for idiots to point out spelling and grammar errors! Is it because your poker skills are so inadequate, that you have to resort to fcking english lessons? Get a fcking life! Honestly!!

It's about time some of you started treating Stanzee's threads with the respect that they deserve!

Also, the word ridiculous has two i's, just like the word ridicule. The misspelling of that word may be even more common on this forum than then or than.
