Good morning everyone, I agree that poker is somewhat similar to chess.
The differences between poker and chess:
In poker, it’s possible to start late. I started at 38, and I didn’t even know that AA was the best pre-flop hand, nor why it eventually became my main source of income.
With chess, it’s not possible to start late and make a living from it; chess is a much more complex game.
Poker is a complex game; playing like the best in the world is extremely difficult. These guys play almost like a computer or GTO.

To illustrate the complexity of chess, let’s take an example: the best in the world is Magnus Carlsen. If he started studying poker for two years and competed against the 50 best poker players in the world—51 participants in total—and they played 10 MTTs, Magnus would finish ahead of at least one player in some tournaments. Now, if the 50 best poker players studied chess for two years and played 10 tournaments against Magnus, Magnus would finish first 100% of the time.

Magnus might win a few hands against the best poker players, while the best poker players would have no chance of winning a single game against Magnus in chess. That is the complexity of chess.
