Do You Think Poker is Similar to Life?

[sharipov8090]

Our whole life is a game!Many people will not agree with this but why do you always want to do something so that it will be pleasant later.You've been playing games all your life .

 

[tamara822]

Life is one big game, just like poker. So we should try to enjoy it while we can. Let's be good players!

 

[ddsnoops]

In some small ways poker is similar but for the most part poker is not similar to life. I guess it depends what your life is like

 

[Mariadelaluz]

I think so. Because, it needs to decide on the games & the life.

 

[suitedsadness]

Yes poker is exactly like real life for me. People flop their nuts all over me multiple times a week. Then I play poker to unwind...

 

[GARCIA PABLO DANIEL]

hello

if it is very similar !!! In poker, as in life, decisions are made for better or worse, and along the way, experiences are acquired to improve day by day.

 

[PatriceM915]

I believe so because if someone who lives waits for things for you like your neighbor then you bluff and say it's not over but if it's your best friend then tell the truth that can help you. But since I can't lie and I don't like to lie, I play poker very badly if I need to bluff.

Poker teaches a lot

There are a lot of similarities between life and poker. Poker teaches you a lot. And if you apply everything you learn from poker to life, you mindset and mentality will completely change.

Life and poker have alot in common they both require lots of decisions and each decision we make can have multiple outcomes. Poker has much more immediate results compared to life decisions which can take sometime to see how they work out. But so many ways you could compare the two. Great question and so many possible answers.

Similarities. When a certain action generates consequences, unpredictable effects, impossible to avoid or prevent, we call it force majeure.

Thank goodness I’m married to a poker player or he’d probably be very sick of it by now 🤣

How untrue.
a woman that plays video games is a treasure.,
a woman who plays poker is even a bigger miracle.
And we cherish our treasuries.

hhhmmmmm

Well every now and then i do get a bad beat, but i cant just walk away from life , like a poker table .
You got to know when to stay in bed ,you got to know when to get up.

 

[stewart murray]

Poker is full of decisions, luck, ups and downs sort of like life I guess.

 

[mina271]

I do believe that there are some things there that are similar to real life. Poker teaches us that you have to be patient. And that you should think about it before you decide on something. You can find several things that give us a comparison to real life but of course not everything, it is and remains a game

 

[VVi10]

I don't believe it's similar, but we can use some of the lessons learned in poker for life and the opposite too.

 

[Maxmustdie]

poker and life are alike
i am equally unlucky in life and in poker

 

[KrazyKoo]

People who are into this philosophical question should check out movie called "Life of a King"

It's about Chess but check it out anyways!

 

[Shumkoolie]

There are sooo many poker truisms that are even more valid in real life—one of the more rewarding aspects of having played so much is spotting so many life lessons in this game! I def am guilty of making too many poker analogies in real life—thank goodness I’m married to a poker player or he’d probably be very sick of it by now 🤣

How often do you or your husband talk about how "sick" something is?

As for me, I think there are some parallels between poker and life, in that we're faced with having to make decisions with what information is known to us. Another parallel is trying to get reads on people, though the motivation is different between poker and life.

Interesting question for sure.

 

[pedrovitorcosta]

For me he's just a hobby... life is much more than bluffs and cards in hand.

 

[jesusali1]

Poker has a very similar aspect to real life, decisions are made which are not always the right ones and assessing the situation is similar to making difficult decisions.

 

[frnandoh]

Poker is a micro enviroment of thereal financial life.

 

[Martin Carreira]

It is a lifestyle, where you go through different emotions during the game, but working as in life in the long term, we will have our fruits and rewards.

 

[makisaa]

Yes, it is a simulation of life, because it is like a continuous fight or a struggle, just like life is! This is the beauty of the game!

 

[Laynester]

Let's see born in to poverty and poker?

Yes.

Thank you for listening!!

..Bluff..

Do you think poker is somewhat similar to life? Because I do.

Very difficult to find a similar approach with life, but for sure you can find the opposite.
