I'd recommend this article:

6 Reasons Professional Poker Is Way Harder Than It Looks | Cracked.com

It's funny, and also has a lot of links to poker-strategy websites in it.

Poker is really cool.
There is something about it that just unleashes your adrenaline and playing it makes you look pretty cool I should say

You remind me I should organize a game in the near future!

For several years, I was slightly obsessed with the game; playing 5-6 hrs day, longer on day off; travelled fair distances for the best games, happily sacrificed sleep, money for the opportunity to play on the felt. I really enjoyed that time of my life; met many new people, heard wonderful stories and learned a lot from the parallels of poker to Life. Still play, though with less frequency. Poker can be a learned teacher if one has the patience and appreciation for it. And hell, it's a lot of fun, too.

I love both poker and chess too. Chess and poker are the best games in the world as for me.
