I have a pet theory that the best entrepreneurs mostly played Real Time Strategy Games (e.g. StarCraft) as kids and best investors preferred turn-based (e.g. Total War, Civ)

I have no idea how to actually do this study, but I would bet there is a stronger correlation between playing strategy games and future earning potential than quality of college attended.

I don't know about poker for entrepreneurs - maybe a subset who are more ESTP / hustler types, but not the standard tech founder I hang with. Card games are boring as shit to me, and the bluffing/tells stuff isn't really that related to the IRL equivalents AFAICT.

Could be, but I grew up with friends who had poker night every week, and I always hated it and wouldn't show up. There was a craze for that bullshit when I was in high school. I'd rather just talk and not play games - including board games that a ton of people my age in tech play
