Dump Black Jack or learn the basics of card counting!

I played +EV Black Jack for several years but decided to focus on Poker now because I'm tired of the "Hit&Run" approach.
But I will still play BJ for comps - you get much better comps than in Poker!

But I am amazed about one thing:
The first thing an Advantage Player in BJ learns is that you should only play +EV games. This includes (besides Poker) Craps (if you do it for comps) and VideoPoker. But it definitly isn't Casino War, Roulette or any other carnival game like "6:5 Single Deck" etc.

After I went deeper into Poker I realized that it is an entire different game to BJ but the basic principles (the math, the "long run" approach etc.) are very similar. I think that made it much easier for me to understand Sklansky, Mamuth etc. quite fast.

So I expected that the "+EV Game principle" is an important rule in Poker too. But I came across so many people that have good or at least decent knowledge about the game of Poker (so they will most probably win in the long run) but burn their hard earned money on -EV games.
