I've been playing poker for over 15 years, poker has brought me many friends, money and various situations that I can live with. like:
-patience to wait for processes.
-discipline knowing that we have to give up some things to stay in top shape.
-self control situations that you cannot control and we must act calmly and focused around them.
-financial management
-dedication to achieving my goals.
among others.

I've been playing for about 6-7 years. Thanks to poker, I've become more patient and I've become more relaxed about temporary difficulties. Thanks to poker, I've become more emotionally stable and focused. It's even strange, poker is a game of chance that made me more patient and disciplined 🙂dangbaonguyen93 said:
I have been playing online since 2003. But stopped playing "seriously" in 2013.
Poker has taught me that when the easy money runs out, you move on to another way to earn money.
I still play a little for fun but my concentration and thoughts are almost always elsewhere.

I've been playing for over sixty years since I was ten or eleven. Up until seven years ago I don't think that it really taught me much, but I did get to spend a lot of happy hours with my parents, co-workers, and friends. 🙂
In early October 2018 I was making a major change in my life, and at the same time I began playing the 9am Sunday morning tournaments at Foxwoods in Ledyard, CT. I learned that there are a lot nice people everywhere who will welcome others who share their interests. I played those tourneys until March of 2020 when Covid raised it's ugly head and put an end to poker.
Then in the late fall of that year I learned from someone here on Cards Chat that there were poker rooms in New Hampshire. In early December I played my first tournament at the Filotimo casino in Manchester, NH. It taught me that there were the same kind of nice people in northern New England as there were in the southern parts. 🙂

Been playing for about 4 years now, and I’d say poker taught me how to think long term. Not just in the game, but in life in general. You learn that one bad hand doesn’t define your session, same as one bad day doesn’t define your week. Also made me realize how important adaptability is — what works today might not work tomorrow, both at the table and outside it.
