Poker teaches you cool little life things, such as discipline, emotional control etc. However, what it doesn't teach you are many other skills applicable to other meaningful employment.
So, How does or did poker affect your life? And do you feel like it is a positive or negative influence?

I sincerely believe that it has been a positive influence on my entire environment. Now I am more observant and I think I can guess when they are lying to me hahaha

Patience, correctly managing your resources and analyzing what is happening.

Discipline, emotional control, these are factors that are very important not only in poker, but also in our personal and professional life. If you think that your discipline or self-control is not necessary for you in your professional sphere or personal life, then you are deeply mistaken.

When I started playing poker seriously, I realized that the game led me to re-edit aspects of my life that seemed to be locked away.
Concentration, study, bankroll management that could be attributed to financial management in your home, patience, etc.
Poker can bring out many virtues, as well as it can bring out many miseries, such as tilt management, emphatic anger, etc.
In short, life is a lot like poker.

Poker keeps me occupied and also adds that little bit of excitement to it.

For me, I see the change that happens is sitting down a lot of time to play poker.
If you are lucky you will get money.

The mindset of a poker player is different from that of the average person; Each of my consultations with a poker player or a person who does not play poker has already confirmed this 100%. The brain of a poker player is different!This is what I like about poker, it develops you as a person. You can’t imagine a more vital game, although I used to think about chess.You must learn to build your life harmoniously even with bad cards.

Poker changed my life and perhaps not for the better. Instead of doing anything useful, I spend hours sitting at the table with the same poor souls, some of whom even enjoy making another deposit.:D

The best thing about my game is that it doesn't affect me financially, I have a fluctuating balance

poker made me calmer and understand weak people and began to support weak players and began to turn to them with an understanding of life. I became a kind person and not selfish understood what distance is and you can achieve a lot over long distances in life and success will be with you you just have to wait a little while and you will succeed

I became mentally stronger.
My math skills have improved.
It developed patience and logic.
I became a better person connoisseur.
In contrast, I lost a lot of friends while playing seriously and making a living.
Unfortunately, if you don't pay attention to your schedule, poker will also test your relationships.
