Chess vs Poker Online

[Abbaddabba]

Sure there's money to be made.

How do you know if a player is going to be better or worse than you before starting the game?

You just see the name.

Casual players who do it for $5 a pop wont be too concerned about being too selective, but there'll be people who datamine all the players and figure out who is worth playing.

The average player in a small stakes game will be far inferior. Players who crush a given level move up. People who lose move down. People who're just trying it out play all sorts of stakes. And there are people who try to learn, lose in the process, and never manage to be successful.


Less lucrative than poker - probably. But as long as the rake is minimal, there is potential.
