Expected IQ of Pro Player?
 

Apart from lilholdem who has an IQ of like 10, id expect it to be greater than average, true?

Typical poker pro probably has 115-120 IQ, and a sociopathic or narcissistic personality disorder.

I object to the term "disorder." Any mental health professional that uses this word should be ashamed of themselves. Narcisstic bastards think they're better than me. I bet they couldn't beat micro NL over 50k hands if their [censored] lives depended on it.

Between 160 and 200.

Re: Expected IQ of Pro Player?
 

90-100

There seem to be a surprising amount of people playing micro-stakes for a living, and if you include them I imagine it brings the total down a bit. If I'm off or if we restrict it to reasonable stakes I'd agree. Probably hardly anyone beating 3/6 NL+ who doesn't have a 120+ IQ.
