There are certain analogies that we can talk about. In poker, as in our lives, discipline, perseverance and patience are very important factors. Also, of course, luck plays a very important role. Poker is a game that is definitely similar to our life

 

[German629]

Yes, I agree, Poker is similar to Life, but, of course, Life is most more difficult and variety!

Yes, poker and life have some things in common. In both cases, you have to make decisions based on limited information, taking into account probabilities and possible outcomes. As in poker, life can present unexpected situations that require adaptation and flexibility. Key skills that can be applied both in poker and in life are the ability to take risks, analyze the situation, control emotions and strive to achieve your goals.

You have to be disciplined in both of them: life and poker in order to be successful

I think that in poker, as in life, there is joy and frustration.

 

[fryderyk]

Yes and no 😀. If you are organized in life, you will play carefully, and if you are willing to take risks and know how to choose the right time to take them, it will be reflected in the game. The third option excessive risk will also affect the game and it will not be good results. And I answered yes and no, because I know people who, having an organized life, risk excessively and vice versa in life and play great, calmly calculating each hand. So how many people, so many possibilities and answers at the same time.

If your life full of bluff, that must be exciting and nerve.

I am glad poker is only a small part of my life, it maybe similar but not all.

haha your answer is excellent, I like it, if life is full of bluffs it can be exciting but on the other hand I think that a life full of bluffs does not make you a good person, I understand then that poker and life are not similar

 

[NightStalker]

Everyday poker imitates life.

 

[dreamer13]

Even though actually playing poker is getting less and less interesting every year, thinking about poker, looking for ways to improve and continue to develop is also quite exciting.Poker is a game of people. This is the most important thing to learn. People and the strategy you use against them. Poker, more than any other game, requires understanding your opponents.

I don't think poker is similar to life. Two separate things are two

 

[Gallarado777]

poker is a game and life is a reality so I think in the game you can make a million mistakes and restart and log in again, but in reality you can't do that, so it doesn't look like I think it might be like some petty moments, but in general, life is much more important than poker

 

[RustyRed83]

Not really. bluffing, my way throughout life causes way to much stress has real life implications can not only affect you, but others and can linger for years if not a lifetime. In poker it only costs me my stack.

 

[jose_saleh]

If you think that, in life you can have good moments, bad ones, but if youtake advantage on your good ones, you will reach your mail goals, so in that way yes, they're similar.

 

[Stanley Aguiar]

If so, that explains why I only lose at poker... Just kidding! Perhaps, what happens is that we reproduce in poker what we live. Everything affects the choice to call, fold or bet. So, in a way, poker is similar to life.

 

[nelomec]

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

yes it is similar there are some things different, but in general it is similar, although I think the variance is smaller on live, and the probability of winning with premium cards is higher

 

[ninocabral]

don't think poker equals life, i make poker a job so poker is not my life but part of it

 

[RonanPERNA]

In some situations yes, such as poker teaches you to control emotions such as anxiety, anger and excitement. In life, emotional self-control can be essential for making more rational decisions and dealing with difficult situations.

 

[Fofa]

In some aspects, yes. I do believe that your poker gamestyles reflects your personality.

 

[martDdart]

It is a part of life and like in life you have success or you make mistakes,mistakes can hurt but it is the best way to learn.

 

[nameless]

Poker is a perfect analogy for life. We can never control all variables. We must be aware of all the unconscious biases we have. We must begin to understand life as a decision making and not as isolated decisions.

 

[Poker Orifice]

I don't think poker is similar to life. Two separate things are two

I totally agree!
Life is all above LOVE. Poker... mostly about deception, manipulation, exploit weakness in others, outsmart, take, take, take.
I don't see many similarities at all... maybe sex.
"I'm All-In"
"You are? I thought you were limping or perhaps a min-raise at best."

 

[kunkgreen]

I had never seen this post.

I have thought about it many times and I agree.
In addition to the facts already mentioned by other players regarding emotions at the table...
...we also have the 'randomness factor' and the universe for me is completely random.

 

[888NOX888]

Probably there is some truth in the fact that poker is somewhat similar to life, in poker as in life there is a streak of failures and there is a time when you are very lucky.
