I think if you study psychology or read people, such players are very successful in poker, I think these people can become successful people in poker, but you also need to have a lot of patience, which many players have very little, and chess players can be good poker players

I think sports people have the inner desire to win and hate to lose so they will study and practice anything to become the best.
Look at Limitless and Mario Mosbock who were both pro athletes before poker and have done well.

Hi
Professional athletes, in most cases, have those features that are necessary for good results in poker. First of all, it is patience and discipline. Professional athletes are patient, disciplined, persistent and goal-oriented people who know what they have to do in order to achieve their goal.

Understanding human behavior, tendencies, and emotions can give players a considerable edge at the table. Patience is indeed a crucial virtue in poker, especially during moments of uncertainty or when facing tough decisions.
Chess players often excel in poker due to their strategic thinking, analytical skills, and ability to anticipate opponents' moves. The ability to think several steps ahead and adapt to changing situations is invaluable in both chess and poker.

Well, there was a thing at pokerstars that they used to advertise poker through soccer players (Neymar and Ronaldo played at PokerStars tables). But I think chess players would be good poker players, as their intellect would be very helpful in calculating the odds of success on post-flop.

I think MMA fighters would be good poker players, although we don't see many in the poker world, they would be good players due to their discipline, strategy and emotional intelligence in different situations.
