Message: [QUOTE="Odysseus101, post: 3328898, member: 211309"] I've played a lot of chess, and lots of poker too. I'm probably a better chess player than poker player. There aren't a lot of transferrable skills. If you're good in chess, you'll have a logical and strategic mind, mental discipline and patience. These are good things for poker. But being good at chess doesn't mean you'll be good at poker; perhaps it means that you could be good or that you'll improve faster. I don't have an opinion the other way around, but the whole concept of "being able to think five moves ahead" is very overblown and thrown around by people who don't play chess or play not very well.
