I think the best answer is not included in the poll.
I think there is a HUGE correlation between playing poker and trading. But I don't believe one leads to the other.
When I interviewed prospective traders, I always managed to slip in a question about if the applicant played poker. Or gin, or bridge. But my real interest was poker. Gin and bridge players have a great degree of memory and structure, which can't hurt in trading. But poker players (good ones) have a sense of discipline, when to cut losses, timing, money management, and usually a sense of feeling out the game before getting involved with both feet. (Patience!)
