Why David?

[Matt Flynn]

Why do you choose stud hilo? Why not omaha 8 or better? Would that not better mitigate Daniel's reading skill advantage? Or is he weak in stud hilo or particularly strong in omaha-8?

[Stork]

I wouldn't be suprised if Daniel was a very good Omaha 8 player.

[David Sklansky]

Good question. A nice topic for discussion.

[Hold'me]

Perhaps stud hilo is David's best game? Not sure if I'm correct or not, please tell me if I'm wrong. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Well, one of the best insights we have into true analysis of the "name professionals" is Barry Greenstein's website. According to him, Negreanu's best game is Omaha/8. So, perhaps that's why.

David, going Socratic on me here is like going existential on a lawnmower. Since I have not played you or Daniel in those games, the information is too incomplete for me to discuss. The difference between heads-up and 9-handed play is greater in stud hilo than in omaha-8, but that is only marginally relevant because Daniel probably knows that too.

If you are playing coy for a reason, then presumably you have discovered through derivation or sim a counterintuitive result that affects a lot of the middle ground on 3rd and 4th street in heads-up stud hilo. If that is true, you will not say it with the challenge outstanding. So I guess my question doesn't get answered, whether you have reason or not. Too bad that.

I enjoyed your responses to andyfox in the Goofy Games thread and to theBruiser500 in the you-don't-post-enough-content-thread.
