Not a bad analogy. Just curious - which is you think better - being a great poker player or a great chess player?

poker player or a great chess player?

My Answer: Poker - and here's why.

- Chess is one-on-one - poker is one-on-many
- Chess requires you to play 1 game (hand) - poker you can fold now - take a loss - and win later
- Poker occasionally allows you to bluff - in chess, bluffs are clearly visible

Get my drift?
