POKER playing CHESS players

Sort:

I play poker online and have noticed that alot of the top poker players are also top chess players.

Do you play poker ? What are your experiences with both and how and why do you think they might dovetail?

I play poker rather often, but not for any stakes. As a result, my poker playing style is actually sorta similar to my chess playing style: throwing caution to the wind hahaha

But I don't think that chess and poker will ever really overlap at all, because poker is more concerned with psychology and probabilities than chess is, while chess has more deep strategic thinking involved.
