That's the problem with us chess players, so few of us have any money :p having said that Iv'e made more money playing chess than I have playing poker.

And in regards to the OP. I think there are similarities between the two in terms of skiil sets and player pool. What I mean is that both games are strategic mental games and skills that are possessed by chess players transfer very well to playing poker. For example to be a good chess player you need to, like poker, really imerese yourself in the game. Also consider that to be a good chess player you need to do a lot of study away from the board reading lots of books/ watching videos, keeping up with the latest theory and seeing what's going on in the chess world as well as analysis your games even using computer programs to help out. Plus in both games you need to get used to prolonged periods of intense mental activity and get used to the fatigue that goes with it. Those are just some examples.

I also believe that a lot of chess players profile the same as poker players which may come as a surprise.
