tres cosas que uso en mi vida diaria gracias al póquer

I brought three poker lessons to life:

- Don't underestimate your opponents
- Don't doubt Murphy's Law
- You can be the best, if you don't have discipline it won't do any good!

 

[Carlloss]

Many poker lessons can be used in real life. Patience, reasoning before taking action, not making hot-headed decisions, sticking out whenever you want to do something, and faith that the river will save us.

 

[NightStalker]

If you won't play aggressive, you won't win in life too.

Tudo

Cada dia aprendo mais sobre poker e é surpreendente como cada lição é valiosa na mesa e na vida. Um bom exemplo é que tudo pode mudar no ultimo segundo e ter parcimonia é imprescindível. Entre todas as qualidades que só se consegue com a pratica, eu me esforço para ser calmo e sóbrio, não é facíl mas eu vou conseguir. Boas praticas para todos.

 

[Kennemelo]

Understand that luck is as essential in poker as it is in life (even with talent)

 

[Roger1960]

Patience....that is the biggest.
Listening to others ideas, really listening not just "hearing" what they are saying. In the context that in poker everyone has a certain way of playing and it is good to try and take their strategy into account. Not as I want to play like them, but now I know of another way a player thinks on how they should play their hand.

 

[Stringy]

Patience...Don't go all in on life...doing a bit of research and preparation can increase your chances and win rate in life by so much...decisions based on bad emotions arnt the best type of decisions

[Lenka65]

opinion

Poker primarily teaches patience and endurance. It helps a lot in everyday life.

 

[peaceofcoke]

I learned that im not a very patient person, so whenever someone says a stupid thing, I use my timebank in real life

 

[TirariAchref]

I learned you have to be patient even if you have a short stack you can recover and won the game.

 

[Tomek416]

I learned that it is often profitable to take a risk.

 

[BetterThanAvgButNotByMuch]

You can do things almost perfect (like playing a hand) and things can still go horribly wrong for you. Learn to deal with it and move on. Try your best not to act disappointed or be a grouch.

Look before you leap ie spend more time researching what you're getting yourself into and start off slowly. Don't go off what your image of something is, by what you think or believe something is or you might find out that your perception was wrong and you might get yourself way over your head or at the very least just end up wasting a LOT of time.


No matter how good you think you are at something, there's usually someone better than you. So check your ego, humble yourself to folks that you perceive to know less than you and be open to ideas/insights that might improve yourself.

 

[zipocool]

responsible attitude to money guys and discipline is the most important thing

 

[budweiser74777]

endurance - do not lose your head and make informed decisions

 

[mavrulit]

This is a very good question! I personally learned patience! Even though I was able to do this even before poker, but when I started playing, I realized that there is no way to play poker without this character trait. Thanks to the author for the question.
