unexploitable play hasn't even been found for chess yet - and that's a game where 100% of the knowledge is available.

Ah, the point I was planning to make. Except yours was probably more concise.

But to add to the discussion, Chess is also a game where the number of possible moves are reasonably small. In poker, you have a much greater range of plays available. In a 5/10 game the smallest increment is a $5 chip (online, it's even smaller). So you decide to bet the flop with $30 in the pot... great! Do you bet $25? $30? 35? All the way up to your whole stack? Which is optimal?

This makes an optimal strategy just seem like a headache.
