really?i've heard players saying sc2 is harder than poker(such as mafia). i dont know how pro poker players work, but do they study the game 8 hours a day like how sc2 pros do? im thinking of picking up poker, would you say mastering every information on a site like pokerstrategy.com be enough for pro-level play or do you actually need talent to be even near there?

But it is really hard to play poker 8 hours a day completely focused, and when you lose focus it costs money. Whereas you still gain with SC2 even when not playing 100% serious.

If you really do invest 8 hours a day, you will still win at poker. But it is not likely going to be 100k USD a year. That will only happen with talent.
