One big difference between chess and poker is that in chess, the cream rises to the top a lot more quickly. In poker, especially in loose games with a big variance, it may take some time until your average hourly win rate begins to mirror whatever theoretical expectation you have because of the skill differential between you and your opponents.
And that may be so frustrating to you that it's driving you back to chess.
