Message: [QUOTE="DougPkrMonsta, post: 3843235, member: 204435"] A beginner could never beat a grandmaster or even rarely any experienced player in a classical chess game. In poker even new players can catch a lucky streak and do well for a short while, even long enough for them to come to believe they are great at the game. As you play more and more of both games you become familiar will the nuances and will understand how the luck factor really makes these games fall into different categories. If people put in the time to train in poker like titled players do in chess the differences wouldn't be as clear. But most people in poker reach the point where they can win and stop trying to get better or get so frustrated with losing and bad beats they give up entirely. Chess players make good poker players since they are used to being analytical and understand how their decisions affect the outcomes of each game. Good luck to you! [/QUOTE]
