I still make terrible decisions playing poker all the time.

i dont think IQ directly correlates to poker aptitude...

As a member of Mensa IMHO intelligence and poker skills have zero correllation. I think it is correct to say that first one needs an aptitude for poker. A couple of other skills unrelated to IQ are discipline and patience. Emotional control would be another skill unrelated to intelligence.
My favorite example is a recent post by Iceman where he's in the BB and "feels" or "sees" an opportunity to knock UTG off TPTK. There was some criticism about executing the play OOP, but IMHO the example of recognizing the opportunity, then planning and executing, is a measure of knowledge, skill, and ability that are unrelated to IQ.
