That last matchup was kind of like a punch to the gut when I read it, I can't choose one of them

Sigh

Texas Hold'em has shaped a lot of peoples' lives in a ton of ways. Go is up there, but doesn't quite have that distinction to the degree that Hold'em does, despite it having a few hundred years seniority over it.

All the above chess arguments hold water. I respect chess as a game. 2nd favorite of all of the nominated games, so I'm extremely glad these are the top two.

that said, hold'em can, has and will make or break entire lives. While I see chess coexist with peoples' lives, I see texas hold'em BEING peoples' lives.

I would imagine someone whose life was ruined by Poker might not consider it their favorite anymore; and likewise, someone who was pressured to play Chess at a high level as a child until they went insane...)

Yep, but people like to discuss the influence a certain game had anyway. Interesting topics.

Also, to all who care, this topic kind of turned me on to chess. I'm doing some strategy research.
