Chess and poker

Do chess and poker mix? Ask Howard Lederer, Dan harrington, Bob Ciaffione etc.. All were of chess master strength and all are Poker Grand Masters.
Chess saps time, for every 5 hours you study you earn nothing and get maybe 1 rating point. You are going to lose to the new prodigy in town and you peak by your mid 30s.
Poker on the other hand is less studying for more money if you have discipline. Also you can play well into your 70s Doyle's still around, TJ too and Dan's no youngster. So the secrets out for all you chess masters out there start to study poker and make the $$. The one thing chess gives you is the skill of intense concentration for 5 hours at a time.
Good luck all
