Does anyone here play/excel in other games besides poker??

ELHOMBRENARANJA · Dec 19, 2024

I was just wondering if any skills from those games transferred over. I don't know much about chess. I used to play Scrabble a lot and had memorized how many of each letter there was and would subtract those already on the board/in my rack. Other than that, I can't think of any other skills that would transfer over.

I used to be a reasonable chess player, played for my school team a couple of times, but I no longer enjoy chess, poker has replaced it for me.

The only game I've tried so far is poker, who knows, maybe at some point I'll be interested in another one.

i play chess, and yes you can use strategy in chess as in poker.

As for card games, I've been playing only poker in recent years. Although I know other card games. But poker is the only type of game that really interests me. I don't play any other games, computer or board games.

I was a chess champion in my province on several occasions. The patience and focus on each move carried over to poker, which makes me believe that I started playing poker with some skill.
Nowadays I continue to play chess but I no longer play it competitively.

I play table tennis quite well. I've been playing for over 15 years and I play at a pretty good level. I don't consider myself a professional but I'm definitely competitive

As a kid, I played chess, and was quite good at it...stopped playing for 20 years until I taught my son to play. There are some top poker pros who were chess prodigies, so I imagine the skills do translate to poker.

I'm good at football, I play very well as well as poker

In fact, I have a small youtube channel in portuguese about chess.

I used to play baseball several years ago, I was even able to represent my state in several national championships. I would have liked to go to the professional but I couldn't

I won some local chess tournaments as a kid. But stopped playing when I was 15-16.

Puberty killed the nerd in me.

Poker is 99% game of luck. It is nothing like chess!!!

He used to play checkers quite well.

I like a lot of card games, here where I live there is a famous “trick” game I quite like to play it, I don't stand out, but I would say it's my second favorite game hahaha

I used to play soccer very well, I passed some tests to play in the youth category of some teams, however, I stopped playing very early, at 15 years old I no longer dedicated myself, I play snooker well too.

Sometimes I like to play dominoes, but not very often.
