Do You Think Poker is Similar to Life?

[CataRouillet]

I don't think it's similar to life, but I do think some aspects of poker like discipline could help you in life.

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

I'm sure you do, because in poker you need malice. Knowing if a person is bluffing or lying, life also has its competitive side, excellent post from you!🤝

 

[domwagadom]

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

Poker is a game. Life is life

 

[78mariusz]

I'm trying to find any similarity but the only one that comes to mind is when you go all-in with your woman after alcohol in bed - lol. Really strange thread

 

[TeUnit]

I think there are a lot of lessons in poker that carry over to real life.

Sitter limpers are like people who stop at green lights.

 

[andron205]

yes, ups and downs

 

[Achrarock]

In some ways, yes. Both involve strategy, risk-taking, and navigating uncertainty. In poker, as in life, decisions shape outcomes, and adapting to changing circumstances is crucial.

There are a lot of things similar in real life like patience bad beats , Emotion control , Learning from your mistakes and many other commune points.

 

[oskarsbaumanis2]

poker is bad but life is nice etc.

 

[andron205]

sometimes it's like living a boxer who gets beaten a lot, poker players become emotionally stable people over time

 

[letfmg]

there are some similarities

 

[Lucho.riv9]

I wouldn't say it's similar, but it's true that many things that are necessary in poker can be applied to everyday life.

 

[s0ftdumps]

Preparation, patience and persistence are lifes most important qualities.

 

[freddsl]

No, life is much more complex than a game of poker.

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

Yes, poker is like our life. To become a successful poker player you need patience, discipline and luck. Similarly in our life, without patience, discipline and luck you will not be able to achieve success

 

[ficticius]

If it has enough similarity in structure, discipline, development, etc. etc.

 

[pavel1111111]

could be but when ever I have to make a choise between a event at poker and a event that is in my life , let say a lunch with my friends , I always select the real event that are happening in my life ..not a virtual game

 

[PsychoVas]

In many aspects. The most important is "doesn't matter what you're dealt, what matters is how you play your hand". Twain said something like that.

 

[cowboybebop]

In some ways yes. Nothing in poker, the same goes for life, comes without patience. Sometimes you have to give up the right cards to get even better ones in the future, and sometimes you just have to make use of the bad ones.
