Re: IQ of top poker players
[ QUOTE ]
Phil Ivey is very smart. My top ten smartest are all excellent players. Intelligence is a major factor in poker success. But since there are other factors and since moderately intelligent people far outnumber brilliant people, it is probable that the best practitioner will not be one of the very most intelligent. This Bayes's Theorem fact confuses many people into thinking that it is wrong to say that the smarter you are the greater your chances of success.

Perfectly answered thank you. Overkill in fact.
I wonder where Stu Ungar would be on this list if he were still alive.
