Whose a better poker player Sklansky or Negreanu?

[Smoothcall]

Imo David Sklansky is an excellent poker player. He might not be a flashy young hotshot like Negreanu. But when you clear the smoke and the hype i'll take Sklansky as the better poker player.

David is the one guy i watch on television that i am yet to see make a clear mistake. I'm sure it has happened somewhere along the line, but i can't remember any. Some may say he's too tight and all that garbage. Truth is he knows when to make a move. And uses his image of a tight player to steal pots.

Now i'm talking all around poker player here. Not just live, not just tournaments. I think live David has clearly proven himself by doing it for many years(Daniel has not). Tournaments are a much closer discussion. Many think Daniel is better because of the big year and all the hype. And Sklansky doesn't get much positive hype because he doesn't act like a arrogant know it all at the table. He just gets the job done! Also Sklansky will win less because he's more concerned about making money than winning. Daniel is about the fame. Sklansky is about the money. And i will say Daniel could be a better tournament player but i don't know if that is true. I believe it is much closer than one would think. Lets put it this way David is by far a better live player imo and tournaments are much closer to decide who is better.

Now the ones who disagree with me will say Daniel must be better because sklansky didn't except Daniel's headup challenge. This is silly. The challenge could go either way as anything could happen in a given match. And sklansky should not be considered a worse poker player because he doesn't have the willingness to go broke that Daniel has.

This post isn't to discredit Daniel(i think he's a good tourney player, and probably ok live too. Just not as good as he thinks in either arena). It is a post to credit David. And to show not everything is always as it seems imo.

What you guys think?
