Default Re: What is it with Magic and Holdem?

Both are card games with a lot of strategy.

Exactly. Both require stategy, thinking many turns ahead, bluffing, and thinking what your opponet might hold and the odds that you're going to get a winning card (outs).

It's no surprise that top magic/chess/backgammon players are also very good at poker. To them, poker is a step down to the games they use to play.
