the little tournament gains i've had do not cover for my expenses.
From books, tournament fees, travel expenses for big tournaments. I'm an exponentially better chess player than a poker player, yet my "net profit" in chess is negative. I've been playing chess for 8 years, been playing poker for a little over 1 year. As a result most players know where they stand in terms of skill, and would never play for money against stronger opposition. In chess there is no variance, that allows for a rather objective skill measure in the rating system. A weak poker player doesnt know how weak he is and is willing to play for money against much stronger opposition. The point is that in poker variance helps mask the skill difference. Only in over the board tournaments you can play chess for money, but the prize pool is often not that great and the skill level you need to win is extremely high.
