Poker. I play online and live. It's just as strategic as chess but the role luck plays ensures that you can still win (in the short term) even against vastly superior players.

@VSonMe Do you play for real money?
VSonMe · 56-60, M
@GeistInTheMachine lol, yes. Can't see the point otherwise.

@SW-User Tsk. That's quite condescending. They're very sensitive creatures.

@GeistInTheMachine You do it then.

@SW-User *shrugs* Alright.

Chess, easily. Poker is fun, but chess involves zero luck and is a much more beautiful game
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@cultofaction Yeah, that's a respectable opinion.

@GeistInTheMachine I'm also more of a sucker for complete information games

@GeistInTheMachine Hold'em is an easy game to learn but very complex to master. I've been playing for 30 years and am still learning. The game is getting much tougher.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@VSonMe This is very true. That's what makes it such a great game.
VSonMe · 56-60, M
@GeistInTheMachine Yeah. The last few years especially there has been a huge increase in complexity as the solvers have influenced GTO (Game theory optimal) strategy. The best poker book yet has been Matthew Janda's "Applications of No-limit Hold-em" which I have read so many times the spine is completely broken.

Chess is fun, but poker is even more fun to me.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@SW-User Yeah, I get that. Poker can be somewhat more dynamic.
Tournament strength and play blindfold
Chess.

@Kingfish28 Hm. You seem like you'd be more of a poker sort of guy.

Chess, but I haven’t played in years. My father taught me the game when I was very young.

Poker's more fun, IMO.
