Default Re: Which Game Requires Most Talent?

[ QUOTE ]
We know that 1-table SNGs and tournaments can be beat with formulas that would allow a newbie to not be too dominated by a pro. Razz, lo-ball, and jacks or better can also be beat with a near formulaic strategy. Therefore, these don't require much talent, just study and practice.

Saying you can beat a game with a "formulaic strategy" is ridiculous. You can beat low limit anything with a "formulaic strategy" - play good hands. Assuming that one wants to move up in limits they will eventually have to change their "formula" and eventually adjust to their opponents as they're playing doing things that will often be incorrect in their formula or the opponent will pick up on the pattern and force you to make mistakes. Unless someone wants to play 2/4 for the rest of their natural lives you cannot follow some magical formula.

There's no way to possibly say what game requires the most talent because it is dependent on a huge amount of variables.
