I believe that poker gives us knowledge and skills in three areas:

1. Cognitive behavior: these are thoughts and ideas, many of which are unique to the individual. When people talk about things like "positive visualization" or "separate thinking," that's exactly what they mean. Poker is full of pitfalls for players with incorrect cognitive behaviors, but once you learn how to treat the game correctly, the same view becomes useful in many other real-world situations.

2. Emotional intelligence. No one likes to lose. A failed poker game or a series of such sessions is just as emotionally draining as any of the stressors we face in everyday life. To make profitable decisions, you just need to know all your shortcomings and strengths. The easiest way is to remain in the dark about your own feelings, but you can't control what you don't understand.

3. Practical skills. Not every player is good at math or has the patience to pore over EV ranges and calculations. However, even without diving into the game so deeply, you can develop a lot of practical skills that will have alternative applications.
