obviously chess, not even remotely close. Ask any titled chessplayer and I'm pretty sure they will give you the same answer.

Seriously guys; most of poker is a monkey game. If you're not retarded, Read HoH and you'll be a winner in almost any game in the world. Just to be an average tournament chessplayer requires WAY more study/intellectual work than being a very winning poker player. With all due respect, much of NLHE can be reduced to logic monkeys can understand. Good luck making pot odds/implied odds/EV calcuations look like they're in the same universe as accurately judging an endgame 15 moves down the line, anyone who cares to try [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

The reason that much of poker seems like a "monkey game" isn't because it requieres less skill it is because poker is incredibly popular right now and there are TONS of people playing, at all levels, who just plain suck i.e. me. Therefor the skill level of most poker games has dropped.
