Message: [QUOTE="ninjareal, post: 4944641, member: 323567"] hi all , as a former chess player (gave it up for poker) , I agree with the above , that being said the work is the work, as in chess as in poker, for some of us (self taught) , both games need lots of work tactically, strategically and mentally (internally) , I have learnt most when I'm reflecting on my games and honest approach to find progress, you could say chess has more need for accurate memory of openings,positions, tactical memes etc... whereas in poker the mind is freed up for other things (day dreaming = pronounced as studying rivals at a table) the mental warfare is very similar though and strength in this area is vital, levelling exists in both games imo , the only difference is in chess you can prepare (homecook) something special for a particular opponent, you can also do that to some extent in poker, but limited by what the cards thowup at times, and some preparations can "walk" your plan into a huge killer hand ! poker in general is easier so anyone with any level of experience can play, this has a great benefit to poker players who are experienced and can find an edge, in this way poker is way more successful than chess, . another similarity is the "plateaux" effect , this is common in most sports , prevalent in mental ones more as in theory "nothing is holding you back from success" , contrary to physical sports , each of us will have to find our own way to combat this if it happens to them, to all those I say faith and fight on, use your imagination and stubborness to great effect ....lol * what was the question again * :p ;) [/QUOTE]
