Poker is the greatest thinking game there is.

I know most people usually counter and suggest "Chess requires more thinking".  Not at all.  Chess is not even close in the level of strategic thinking required.  Mainly, this is probably due to the fact that poker is a game of incomplete information, and that is where all our strategic decisions come from.   In chess, we can "see our oppoents hole cards".  We know where every one of their pieces is on the board at all times.  That bores me and I don't find it to be a fun thinking game at all.

I challenge anyone to name another game with the strategic depth of poker.  I'm not asking for ego purposes, I'm actually asking because I would LOVE to find other games which makes me feel as strategic as when I'm sitting at a poker table.  I've yet to find a better game in all of my long life, and I've been looking for decades.

That's because for almost all average players, it is most certainly not an easy way to make money... the way to make money in poker is by finding small edges over very long periods of time, it is a small dribble of money that eventually adds up to a larger pile of it, if you are a solid strategist... there's no easy route to riches in poker unless you "get lucky" with a big score along the way (which does happen, I'm not saying it can't or won't, it's just very rare and very luck-based in the short run).
