Computer science is not complex. By definition computers have to follow logical steps so you never need to go higher than first level thinking. Computer science is difficult because of the sheer volume of stuff there is to learn, but none of it is conceptually very difficult. If it was then computers wouldnt be able to do it. | |

poker is easy.. all you have to do is get money in when you are ahead and get out when you don't (unless you have odds). simple. | |

I manage to earn several thousand pounds a year doing IT/software development stuff but I've yet to earn more than a few hundred playing poker. | |

Exactly! His arguement went something like well there are only 52 cards in a deck and only so many situations that can occur in poker once you know the odds and probabilities its simple | |

There are more complex problems in computer science than there are in poker but obviously basic computer programming is simple (as is beating low stakes poker). Higher stakes poker gets more complex but doesn't come close to the more difficult computer science problems. | |
