It helped with so many things that I would spend days talking about, I'll say two things, "first - patience - second - a lot of traveling with my wife, with the poker winnings

Huge insights in own strategies.
Related with:
- taking risk
- wishful thinking
- emotions are not reality
and much more.

For me, my family supports me to continue playing, and I also have a brother who entered the field of playing poker, and this is good in my opinion.

I think poker is good for keeping your mind active, the older you get the more important it is to give your mind exercise.

If I could sum this up it would be patience. I have learned to be much more patient in life through playing poker.

Poker definitely helped me. Thanks to poker, I have become more focused, patient and, as strange as it may sound, I have become better at controlling my own emotions.

Poker does not affect my personal life. But there are many people who because of poker have lost cars, maybe even their wives.

I can see it possibly make people more patient or calculated. But me personally I don't think it plays any role in my daily life.

It has taught me that I have a much too big ego. I'm working on it but is still tilting like mad after all these years.

Perhaps thanks to poker in my personal life, I have become more resistant to stress and I experience some grievances faster.

Not much helped my fun, a little more patience, irrelevant financial issue, I think that's all...

I wouldn’t say that poker helps me in everyday life, rather, I like that I can use my interests in it: psychology and mathematics.

I always liked mind games, especially I am a Chess player, I think that poker also taught me to analyze other types of personalities, another type of logic and to have intuition.

The biggest impact for me was on probabilities and decision making in my daily life.

Poker occupies 30% of my personal life. I have a lot of things that I like, such as sports and sharing moments with my friends. But I love poker in all its facets.
