What life lessons have you learnt from poker?

Poker teaches patience. It can also help with the skill of reading people and calling people on their BS. Ha Ha. What life lessons has poker taught you?

Every man for himself. One God for all.

Play

only play when you have the time

Nano5722 · Dec 15, 2017

You need to be patient. This is the key thing in poker. Poker teached me to take control over myself, but sometimes it,s really hard to do.

playing poker, I realized that you need to make decisions pragmatically without giving in to emotions! this is not just come in handy for me in life!

Body language. Divide good and bad people at first glance.

cazual88 · Dec 15, 2017

Poker has taught me to remain calm in difficult life situations and to better assess different perspectives.

I mostly play mtts and no matter how good you play at some point you have to risk even for your entirely tournament life. You have to risk in real life too if you want to go further.

Apparently you can get from chip leader to stort stack and vise versa! So don't take anything for granted in life too and be thankful for what you already got!

And last but not least we are all able here to play poker! So I guess we are all lucky in some way!!!

Lots of patience...

freestocks · Dec 15, 2017

Think long, think wrong. Just make a choice, and go with your gut.

DougPkrMonsta · Dec 15, 2017

Mostly I've learned not to count my chickens before they hatch and how to deal with adversity.

Lots of good examples of positive things like patience, planning, perseverance and just how to study a topic and improve yourself.

Also there are negative things you learn (how many problem gamblers and scammers there are for instance), but that's to be expected in anything involving money.

Good luck to you!

Of course, this patience, I agree with you! I also understand people well and poker now helps me improve it!

firstcrack · Dec 16, 2017

There are a lot of capable players out there. I know we tend to focus on the poor play of some, but really, the level of play of so many players and the diversity of styles never ceases to impress.

nutthink · Dec 16, 2017

some people are just scared but they call it patience. 72

Robochick · Dec 16, 2017

Sometimes life is not fair and there's nothing you can do about it; so do the best you can, accept that sometimes things won't go your way, and move on.

Edvin55555 · Dec 17, 2017

Never give up and be ready for everything.

Dailon Arroyo Blandon · Dec 17, 2017

Poker has taught me many things ... have patience .... learn to control my emotions ... learn to read the game of villains ... poker has taught me that this game is more than numbers, statistics and odds
