Re: poker vs chess wich is easier??
exellent post albert, imho chess quality for acheiving world class play are much more intellectual demanding than what is this for world class poker. Poker require much less memorisation and logic (logic in the sence of calculation). Poker, in contrast, require much more creativity than chess. This creativity came from the imperfect information nature of poker and it's something you can't just learn in book, that knowledge come from past-experience and psychological knowledge of yours opponents.
Wich is easier to learn? i don't know, but poker is much less intectual demanding than chess because creativity is not something we can learn just in book and like it's was said before 95% of yours actions are trivial in poker.
