poker or blackjack
Is poker or blackjack more profitable in the long run? In blackjack, you are guaranteed to at least 46-47 percent, maybe even higher if you can card count like in a 1 or 2 deck table. Unlike poker, you don't have to pay for rake, and tips are optional. In poker, you have rake, tips, and then of course, you hardly win every pot that you play. Even aces don't win 1 out of 5 times even when you're heads up. When you do have a good read on someone, even if you triple barrel the pot, they could still call you with bottom pair, just depend on his mood. Being fundamentally sound without cards is still unprofitable. You sit there for hours trying to figure out your hourly wage, but in fact you're really down if you count the whole year or whole poker life. Blackjack is just a clear cut math and chance game. Therefore, which game is really profitable in the long run?

Re: poker or blackjack
Main problem I have with poker is that folding the winning hand makes it unprofitable, and not getting the max out of your winning hands. If you're playing tight aggressive, people might not pay you off. If you're playing LAGS, then people are just waiting to pick you off. Therefore, getting the max out of your winning hands and losing the least out of your losing hands is just too ridiculous to aim for.

Re: poker or blackjack
Don't forget you only get aces once out of how many hands? And do you really play poker to sit there and wait for your aces and get no action?
