With those long winded polls there will always be a big bias towards the first answer, some bias towards the last, and a small one towards the second one.
Add in the bias that the poll maker will put his opinion on top or on the bottom usually, and that we will formulate the question in a biased way, you will most likely get your opinion confirmed.
Anyhow the question is too vague, what does "better" even mean. But the obv answer is obv correct.
This is a joke MTT players are obviously the best. They have the toughest decisions on when to risk their tourney life. Try making a decision for your stack in a 10k tournament and tell me that isn't more skillful than HUNL.

i think you aren't right...because image that you a high stake cash player...you can easy play pots over 1 Million dollars...you theory isn't right...
I would say that the HU NL playing person on average will perform better in all formats than an MTT playing guy in a 6max and HU game or 6max guy playing 6max, HU and MTT taken together since HU is the most specific and post-flop skill requiring game. In reality you mostly meet a combination of good at HU and MTT or good at HU and 6max.
The most important skill in poker is to adjust to your opponents' tendencies.
HU requires the most adjustments.
HU is the most skill-demanding form of poker.
A great HU player will adapt to any other form of the game faster than any other specialist because he has mastered the psychological aspect of the game far better than they have and the adjustments he'll have to make to master other formats will mostly come in the form of theoretical knowledge.
It's also the format that requires by far the most brain power since you're involved in gathering information about your opponent and making decisions in every single hand.
In other words, a great HU player has the brain power required to destroy any poker format if he puts his mind to it, which is not necessarily true of a great tourney or 6max player.
I was thinking this way before I started playing HU, btw. If you disagree that HU requires more skill than any other form of poker, you're probably not smart enough to play it, tbh...
Can someone please explain to my friend how bad Negreanu is now compared to the people he plays against? And how much better a decent midstakes HU cash reg is than him. No ****ing trolling lol
