lof...."limits" baseball has a limit, nine innings providing a ties doesn't exist....one run, or one hundred runs behind, still only chalks up a single stroke in the loss column... poker has no limits...as you stated an "all night game"....a loss is quantitive not finite.... as far as the complexity of "poker"...it still comes down to the "luck of the draw".....if you pass because you think bad cards are coming your way, it doesn't strengthen what you hold....baseball, by passing on bad pitches, gets you a bonus.....take four and "take a base"....a positive from a negative...skill not chance or luck..... no bets, or exit strategy in baseball....the only strategy is to mold the situation and "level the proverbial playing field" to your advantage based on skill, tactics, strategy, which requires knowledge of your opponents weakness and strength......
