I know how to play chess and poker. I'm ok at chess, but badly out of practice. I don't understand poker strategy and I don't ever play for cash.

I know how to play it to the extent that I know what castling is. But fancy strategies and gameplans are beyond my patience.

Gonna have to be more specific about poker- there are many games under that umbrella!

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

I know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to en passant

I'm alright at Chess I guess? I used to be around 1600-1700 rating based on Yahoo/Facebook/Chessmaster and have read up on some opening theory and stuff. Probably lower now cause I haven't played in forever.

I never really had anyone to play against to get better though.

Poker I know the hands but strategy and all that who knows.

Not sure if serious. It's only forced if it will remove you from check or if it's your only legal move.

Yes to both. Much worse at chess though. I can hold my own but I hate how 1 blunder ruins your whole game.

Yeah, I know how to play chess, and I'm not bad at it. That doesn't mean I'm any good, as I still make stupid mistakes more than I'd like.

I'm good at the odds part of poker and know how the hands work, but I'm terrible at bluffing. Anyone seasoned could read me like The Cat in the Hat.

When I was younger, I would play both side of a chess game to intentionally set up a bunch of en passant and then unleashed them all in the row while the chess program played a "en passant" voice clip each time.

En passant is cool.

Here's how bad I am at chess:

Many years ago, I was a tester on a mobile chess game. One of the tests was to make sure winning a game registered correctly. I was playing both sides, and I couldn't make either side win.

I was pretty decent at chess when I last played a game in like 2010.

I've never really tested my poker ability but I know a few varieties.

Yes, and yes.

Standard 5-card draw poker sucks.
Texas Hold'em is great fun.
Omaha is also fun but I'm awful at reading hand strength with it.

I used to play chess a lot more. I have good "game sense" but I never took a lot of time to memorize game states and such, which I know is basically what you have to do to really become good at the game.

I played Hold em on and off for a couple of years.

that and knowledge of opening theory. one of the (many) reasons i'm not good at the game is that my knowledge of openings is terrible. i'm pretty decent at the king's gambit (both white and black) and that's about it. i think that if i would study the basics of all the major openings for a week, i'd improve drastically.
