Default Re: 2 questions: Faith worth it? Great Christian poker player?

The only great poker players I am aware of who are also very religious became that way AFTER they were already great players. Possibly Doyle is an exception. Danny Robinson turned to religion to get away from some big personal problems. There are a few others as well but they are in the vast minority. To be fair though that isn't absolute proof that religious people aren't smart enough to get good since thir religiousness may prevent many of them from trying.

As to my comment about high IQs in poker, anyone who doubts that the higher IQ you have the more likely you will become excellent (at least up to the 150 level) is a moron.
