Expected IQ of Pro Player?

[Asheh]

Apart from lilholdem who has an IQ of like 10, id expect it to be greater than average, true?

[Jamougha]

Typical poker pro probably has 115-120 IQ, and a sociopathic or narcissistic personality disorder.

[Kirbynator]

below 134 are insects

above 135 are liars

[silver book]

mine is 145 and I consider myself to be an above average poker player. DTH?

[Kinbor]

I object to the term "disorder." Any mental health professional that uses this word should be ashamed of themselves. Narcisstic bastards think they're better than me. I bet they couldn't beat micro NL over 50k hands if their [censored] lives depended on it.

[Mr_Moore]

Between 160 and 200.

[sonneti]

90-100

There seem to be a surprising amount of people playing micro-stakes for a living, and if you include them I imagine it brings the total down a bit. If I'm off or if we restrict it to reasonable stakes I'd agree. Probably hardly anyone beating 3/6 NL+ who doesn't have a 120+ IQ.
