At lower limits, playing very much textbook and pure odds based / value betting will see you as a solid regular winner.

As you move up, using more knowledge based on reads and instincts is a requirement, and this also passes over to short handed and especially heads-up games.

I think this is what Sklansky was referring to - some players who work up to higher limit games using strict probability poker, don't know how to play past 3rd street. I'm thinking that a young guy with great math skills can just "get it" and clean up at low limits, then move up so fast he doesn't have the time to learn what I'd call "craft."
