You can think of IQ like the processing power of a microchip.

Obviously the more powerful the processor, the faster and more complex programs you can run.

But there are plenty of people with crappy computers running good software and plenty of people with mega-awesome computers that are playing Minesweeper.

I could not agree more. That's exactly what I have observed in chess for many years. Having a high IQ alone doesn't guarantee success at chess and why should poker be different? It doesn't hurt to be smart though...
