Passing on bad pitches and getting a walk does not necessarily equate. We are not automatically rewarded in this market. Are we? Losses in poker are finite contrary to your assertion.

I think that you are lumping poker in with many other games that really are pure gambling. You're overestimating the element of luck, and discounting the element of human judgement, strategy, and interaction (in fact I don't think that you're giving poker any credit for this aspect, which I think [as did Harvard and Stanford researchers] is the primary aspect that made poker the game used in Game Theory).
