Do you mean the importance of mind control in poker? Well that is the most important thing, if there is no control your mind basically you can not play poker

Depends if you mean finding a stake from some people to play x amount of x game or backers that pay your bankroll to grind say sngs full time.

When I play staked by some guys off here it's purely for fun to get a rail going.

When I am being backed by an individual or 'staking company' it helps you deal with variance and as long as your ev is going up the backers will carry on sending the funds. Instead of down swinging and it costing you money which can affect your mental game for sure.

Developed skills of logical thinking are useful in work, study and interpersonal relationships. There are many ways to improve your thinking skills. This will require doing things that include critical thinking, change your thinking and learn to recognize irrational thoughts.
Often people unconsciously assess the situation illogically
Learn to perceive different points of view on the situation, develop critical thinking.
In this case - poker, this is what is absolutely necessary!

During the game, you must constantly analyze your own game.
You have to analyze all the mistakes you made, make conclusions and try to improve your skills. If you do not understand your strengths and weaknesses you will not be able to become a successful player.

Staking has its place in poker game and some people use to be able to fight the variance. I personally do not lake to borrow money from other people so staking will just make me more nervous because i do not play only with my own money.

Poker is a game of brains. And it really helps to train thinking. Develops intuition, mindfulness and it's good. But still it's more gambling ...

great reply. I dont think some one staking you will help to improve your mental game your mental game has to be pretty sharp especially if someone puts their dollars up in the hopes you win. You must adapt to each and every player at every table at every event or cash game. I do think that playing poker can sharpen your mental game in general comparably to the game of chess.
