Is a high IQ necessary to be a poker pro

[MicroBob]

That's actually pretty interesting.


My Dad and sister are both called 'doctor'.
my Dad got his PhD in biochemistry and made an actual scientific discovery that got written about in a few magazines and made him semi-famous in his field.
My sister is a veternarian..and evidently vet-school is roughly as tough as med-school from what I've been told.


Yet my Dad would insist that I'm actually the smartest one in the family (I'm not sure whether I agree or not...it's difficult to say) even though I went the easy route and got my bachelors degree in the not-so-academically-challenging field of Mass Communications and now just struggle and grind my way along playing poker for a living.
