Default Re: Hard to quantify sports question

I disagree on poker.

I feel like that anybody with a ~100 IQ can probably be made into a reasonable winner at say 30/60 with enough study and practice. The fish in poker aren't fish because they try to learn and fail, they're fish because they don't try to learn to play the best way possible.

I think at some level there's some innante logic/reasoning/game theory stuff that probably seperates folks out, but that treshold is likely pretty high.

Yeah, and you can learn to be a good recreational fisherman. But there is some level of innate talent that must be possessed to be truly great.
