Re: Poker makes us smarter?
I agree with DC - it probably doesn't make you smarter, but it hones various parts of your intelligence.
Another thing that it does that he didn't mention is it gives your pattern recognition skills a workout. Board reading, picking up behaviors from your opponents, and even keeping an eye on your own tilt factor are aspects of pattern recognition.
Actually, given how much pattern recognition is in your standard IQ test, it might make your IQ score higher. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
