Poker "Hands down" You can be a winning player at chess,and still not be able to make a living at it.I do not know how many "chess" players have taken up Poker byt it is alot. The point is Poker is so easy if you are a half way decent chessmaster you cna easily make a nice living at Poker. I think a clear example of this is chess grandmaster Walter
Browne, he won six us chess championships and for many
years was atop usa player. How does he make his living? Poker! he also made a strong showing at the 50k horse event in the world series.

This does not show that chess is more difficult than poker. It only shows that there are more money in poker than chess and that there are currently lots of bad poker players.
On a theoretical level against very good opositions it is possible that poker could be more difficult than chess.

I am not saying that poker is more difficult than chess, but you have not shown the opposite to be true.
