You've got to know when to hold 'em

Know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away

Know when to run

You never count your money

When you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin'

When the dealin's done

Every gambler knows

That the secret to survivin'

Is knowin' what to throw away

And knowin' what to keep

'Cause every hand's a winner

And every hand's a loser

And the best that you can hope for

Is to die in your sleep"

Chess is the supreme game of strategy.

Poker is the supreme game of stakes.

Chess ... strategy to win or lose.

Poker ... any hand can win, depending on the stakes.

Go is far more sophisticated than chess, and the lessons are more applicable to real life. It's the ultimate game of prioritizing, timing, seeing the forest from the trees, recognizing patterns, long term strategizing, knowing when to cut your losses, outflanking your opponent, etc.

Poker has the benefit of bringing in probabilistic and psychological elements, which are highly relevant to real life. I'd say poker is no. 1, Go is no. 2, and chess is a distant third at best.

poker is good practice for making decisions and ultimately taking risks on incomplete information.

Weird how there seems to be an inverse correlation between amount of time spent playing poker and IRL success
