Poker taught me...

Decisions that get the right results are not always the right decisions. And many more.

To be patient

Losses are an integral part of playing poker and life in general. Stop making an emotional tragedy out of it and just improve the quality of my game.

There is often a correlation between the rules we live by in life and the rules we play by in poker. What are some of the lessons you've learned in poker that you've applied to your life?

Perhaps the main skill that I managed to develop in myself thanks to poker is patience. Thanks to poker, I realized that our patience solves many key things in our life and helps us achieve the desired goal.

Patience is the solution to everything in life, not just the game. Practicing patience is a virtue that allows you to deal with the stress that gambling or certain situations in life can cause you.

Poker taught me to make quick decisions depending on the changing situation.

patience. temperance of mind and body. to not be results oriented. to never underestimate my opponents, and on that line to love them as myself. poker is a game and as such should be played in the spirit of sharing and having fun.

to be calm whatever happens and to have patience , because my day it will come when I expet the least Ș)

removed his pride in the game and in life

Poker teaches me to be patient. The truth hasn't fully taught me yet. We need to develop.

Poker has taught me a lot. First of all, defining goals, writing a plan on how to achieve them,
poker has taught me patience, discipline and respect for others.
poker has taught me to control my emotions.

poker is life, life is poker.

Your question is very good dear friend.
I've been playing poker since I was 11 years old, in truth I hadn't related poker to life itself.
But as I grew older I incorporated certain criteria into my life: patience, discipline, humility, education, tolerance, not taking bad times or bad situations as failures, trying to leave toxic people aside (liars, deceivers, manipulators, etc.). narcissistic, or others), bet on good projects, and other issues that lead you to have a healthier life.
When I returned after a couple of years to the game of poker I began to realize that the game is not so different from life itself. On the contrary, they have a lot in common.
I will give you some examples with situations that I have seen in the forum during my time, I don't even want to imagine the number of situations that my colleagues who have been in CC have seen for many years.
Some examples:
First I'm the best player on the site (the narcissist)
2nd I played an MTT and in the first hour I could hardly play any hands, at most steal a few blinds. After the break in the 2nd hour I took advantage of two very good hands and placed myself at the top of the MTT (the patient)
3. I always make a 3bet at the table because I have to be the player who controls the situation (the manipulator)
4th And well, I didn't enter the MTT Awards but it's not bad, at least I had fun (the conformist)
5th Bad luck always haunts me, I constantly have badbeats and nothing works out for me (the negative)
6th Uffff, I get a table with only 8 Pro players, I can't do anything and I'll be eliminated (the pessimist)
7. I want to build my bankroll, win $100 in an MTT and consider starting to play $1 MTT to have 100 MTT to play (the disciplined one)
8º In the chat a person laughed at me (the mocker)
9º In the chat a person insulted our flag, our country, our religion, etc. (the aggressive verbal)
10. I went all in live against another opponent and won the hand. My opponent got up, waved at the table and greeted me saying “good hand friend and success in the tournament for you” (the polite one)

Well, I didn't want to go any further, because there are many more cases of daily life in relation to both live and online poker.

Very good your post brother, I congratulate you!
