Default Re: chess or poker

[ QUOTE ]
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.

I would almost argue conversely. When 2 GMs play who are a couple/few hundred points apart, you would do well to bet on the higher ranked. But in poker, for instance tourney poker, by head's up, it's pretty much straight forward play.
