Poker and what it has taught you

[NENMEMBA]

Poker taught me that there is barely anything that I am good at!

Good morning, everyone. Well, what poker has definitely taught me is to be more patient and to read people better. Even when I’m talking to someone I’ve never met before, I start a conversation and naturally begin analyzing them to try to understand what kind of person they are.

Poker has taught me to stick with your own gameplan no matter what.Take decisions based on your gutfeeling(experience) and pot odds.Observing the table is key.I celebrate 20 years as a pokerplayer next year.

I've been playing poker for about 12 years and what it's taught me is to control my emotions and know how to manage money.

I’ve been playing poker for quite a long time, since 2008, and it has definitely taught me a lot. The game helped me stay calm about losses, luck, and the mathematical randomness behind any outcome. Over time, poker trained me to handle unexpected setbacks in life more patiently — after all, the river can be kind or cruel. In a way, it made me more balanced both at the table and outside of it.

I've been playing poker for about five years, and the main thing it's taught me is how to stay calm in stressful situations.

Poker helps you cope with losses, adapt to changing conditions, and understand the principles of investing.These skills not only help in the game, but also contribute to the development of logical thinking in everyday life.By playing in moderation, you can learn an incredible amount about yourself, others, and life.

To be honest, poker hasn't taught me anything specific, but overall it helps me keep my brain in good shape - learn new strategies (yes, that's a very "big" word, I know), remember and analyze what I see.

I’ve been playing poker for over 11 years now. Poker has taught me many valuable lessons — how to be self-disciplined, make decisions under pressure, stay focused, and read situations and people better. It has also helped me develop patience, emotional control, bankroll management, long-term thinking, risk assessment, and the ability to accept losses without frustration. Overall, poker has strengthened both my analytical skills and my mindset.

How long have you been playing poker now, and what has poker taught you?

I've been playing poker for 15+ years and I still love the game <3 ... From playing it, I've learned many things that I can use for other areas of life, but mainly to have patience, discipline and control my emotions...

Patient and a lot of that.

I've been relatively new, a year and a few months, and what have I learned? that the odds are treacherous, that 10% is still a lot, that 5% is still a lot, it has also helped me to be more patient, less explosive, and of course, referring to the odds it has made me rethink if I really want to play with the odds of having a child just for a night of fun ajsasj, I would say that it has prevented me from doing things without thinking about the future.

I have learnt that river is not a friend. I don't know, maybe that one must not celebrate before showdown and probably something about moving on after failing against odds. And of course it has gave some sort of courage to play against better players and face new situations.
