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. |
