Be a good chess and poker player

The original goal reads: Be a chess master and a poker shark. That’s because I originally wanted to be a National Master (a rank below GM and IM) and to play poker professionally. But I realize that all I really want is to be a good chess and poker player (and being a National Master and a winning professional poker player simply makes it “official” or “concrete”). Having said that, I think I already am, according to my own “measure” or judgement, which, ultimately, is the only thing that matters (at least for this goal ;p).

come on, how hard could this be? ;p
