I learned the most important thing from poker is how to handle money it is important not only in poker but also in life.
 
Great thread!

I naturally tend to be a cautious person and were it not for poker I think I would’ve remained too much in that lane, so to speak. The breakthrough of thinking in terms of EV is something I naturally started applying to all the decisions I make in life (once I went pro and started thinking about poker all the time lol).

The knowledge that there is risk in anything and that every single thing we do in life is some kind of a gamble is a good extension of this that— and it helps me avoid being overly risk adverse in life. Thanks to EV, I’m happier overall in life and not just a better poker player than before [emoji4]
 
when you recive that sequency of bad beets in one session and you just acept it and don't start to cry like a baby.

I am trying to develop that virtue. Its important and I recommend you to be able to make the right decision and even though the result of your decison that was right did not come out you take a breath and relax because you are doing this the right thing.

I would tell my sad history of the day you are tired of this. keep doing it keep moving
 
I have learned to accept defeat with grace and dignity. I continue to learn these lessons on a daily basis especially on ACR.
 
self control, and the most important thing is that when I fall I get up as fast as possible!
 
Being patient and knowing how to wait for the moment to do something.
Oh, and how luck can greatly impact on everything.
 
What I applied is to focus on the things I can control, and don’t complain when something I can’t do anything about goes wrong.
 
What have I learned in poker that I use in ln life

I learned how to read people a lot easier when there lying. You can see a lot of tells. And how to be patient.
 
What i learnt

I learn that have to be patience, and not to run for the first. Be careful also. And look for your possibilities.
 
I learned to be patient, and to evaluate the odds of a given situation, as well as how to handle losing a lot. (still having trouble with that last one).
 
Definitely you will learn patients and you definitely use your mind a lot more working that brain muscle learn how to manage your money a lot better to
 
Sometimes you can do everything right and the outcome would still let you down.
All you can do is to pick yourself up and continue as life goes on.
 
You need to discipline yourself and train yourself to play for hours on end to be successful. So if you do decide to go pro, consider if you can literally make you play poker every day for years. If you feel that this is not to your liking, you may want to consider another method.
 
interest Ask . firstly, not everything in life is fair, because when it seems to you that you want to win you suddenly lose, secondly .. never be ahead of the events, well, the most important thing in poker, as in life, you have to be patient
 
Great thread.

I think work ethic, patience and emotional control are some of the biggest life lessons that poker taught me.

In order to build a career out of this game I had to take it one small step at a time. And I had to accept that on some days I would be moving in a backwards direction (losing days).

I had to learn to just keep getting in there day in and day out, improving both the technical and mental side of my game, ignoring my short term results, and building for long term success.
 
Patience, patience, patience. Set goals and reasonable timelines. When you try to force things, results don't necessarily follow.
 
Patience this is being essential, emotional control, the other thing that for me has been paramount is controlling anxiety and lastly knowing how to deal with losses and knowing when the day is not good.
 
I’m learning to slow down, be patient, discipline myself to a productive routine and to stay focused on tasks at hand! Helped me to become more motivated with everyday life and to make better life choices too!
 
One of the best lessons is to use money properly, controlling the banking in poker is one of the things that I can implement in my life
 
poker vs life

poker teach you "control" "patience" and "determination":smile:
 
😎 If poker always gives you life lessons, experiences, mental growth, and self-esteem, it is never too late to learn, as long as it is not in excess, and not to take poker as a vice.
