Default what do David, Mason, Ray and Ed play?

This post got me wondering what games and stakes the 2+2 authors normally play. Anyone know? Baseless speculation is welcome.

Here is what Hendon Mob has on Sklansky. link

i was surprised David had won that much in tourney poker mostly because he is not a regular on the 10K hold em circuit.
But it looks like he has been one of the best in stud at the wsop.
So he must be a regular for all the wsop events especiall the limit games.

Dont know ive generally heard sklansky plays 300 600 limit.

I always just assumed they played .50/1 limit around Mason's kitchen table.

This is true. It is a mixed game of Baseball, Anaconda, Follow the Queen and Indian poker. David has claimed to be worth about 5/BB hr in this game.

The meanest game of Hearts EVR. It is rumored no one has ever shot the moon when they play together. I hear Ed broke a table after David picked up a tell on Ed. DS apparently looked through Ed's soul and knew everytime someone passed Ed the Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Again this is just what I heard.

Last year or something DS responded to a "who the hell are you" kind of post by saying he plays 300-600 limit holdem almost every day.

Another author within the last two years criticized DS's play at 75/150 Omaha/8 as being uncreative.

I played 30/60 holdem with Mason last november while he was waiting for a 80/160 game to open up.

That's funny cause Lederer said virtually the same thing bout his play. It wasn't a dig, just a response to questions people had about why Sklansky wouldn't be successful at the highest limits. He said he "lacks imaginatiion" He did say ;however, that Sklansky absolutely kills the mid high limits.
