I don't know. I think Sklansky could hold his own against Danny at LHE and split pot games.

Hellmuth's a tourney player who does not do well in cash games, and Sklansky's a limit cash game player.

I think the "Big Game" is an aberration in the poker world. A strong player can make a perfectly good living playing 30/60 - 100/200 limit or 10/25 - 25/50 blind NL. Above that it becomes more ego than anything else. An over-bankrolled 40/80 limit pro can make more in a year than 80% of the working stiffs in the country with negligible risk of ruin.

In fact, seeing the games Daniel sits in tells me that he's not as good as Sklansky in that most important of poker skills - game selection.
