Re: Pool Player vs. Golfer vs. Chess Player
chess player, and it's not close.
it's the only of the three choices that isn't almost completely about muscle memory.
pool is about 80% hand/eye coordination and muscle memory and 20% simple geometry
golf: 90% physical
chess is the only of the three that has anything to do with reading and manipulation of your opponent, and it's the only one even vaguely similar to poker.
i'd say the pool player can do relatively well too. golf? a good golfer isn't any more likely to be a good poker player than your random joe off the street, imo. i'm not trying to bash golfers; i just don't see the connection.
