I make the most intelligent decision I can...and back it up with a few bucks. That's poker.

I am a casual poker player and I think you need to be a good bluffer in order to be a good poker player. This attribute is really not necessary to be a successful trader. But of course if you can control your emotions well, you can be a good trader or poker player.

That's a strong misconception. Controlling your emotions till you are an unemotional robot, should not and is not the goal. I'd suggest you read a couple books by Brett Steenbarger. Very good info.
