gambling cannot make everyone happy! In the language of mathematics, it is an equation where there are a lot of unknown variables. Poker can bring luck and happiness to your life, or it can destroy everything!
It does make me more happy more than upset, but I do not take it super serious. I notice with more and more experience, the ups and downs in emotions are generally milder which is a good thing for my playing.
I completely agree with you that poker changes the way you think about life.But don't live in episodes, don't wait for a certain day.Always go ahead and assert yourself.My advice is the more you are in the game the more awareness of what is happening the more your assessments and correct decisions!Good luck!
Poker players are happy when the right suit and pot odds are on your side. When you get real profit. Otherwise, there is always stress, depression and a negative attitude towards poker. Therefore, never play for the last money.
Poker definitely helped me to be more discipline, react better to complicated situations and better control my emotions. As i play it currently (as hobby) it also makes me happy when i play especially if i win a few $.
to say that it makes you happy just by playing Poker I don't think. But if you start to win based on playing correctly, it is very possible that it will make us happy. at least it stimulates mental agility as it has been considered mental sport.
