Default Re: chess or poker

the differences in skills at the highest levels are VASTLY different in poker than in chess. granted, i know next to nothing about chess, but when 2 'very good' chess players play each other, their edge on each other cant be that great. when 2 'very good' poker players play HU, one of them will almost always have a clear edge.

however, to become a good winning player at chess i think it takes more work than to become a good winning poker player. also, ummm.. the money sucks in chess, sooooo.. other than a form of relaxation or whatever, its kinda useless. holla
