Read an interesting thread earlier about people letting poker affect their private lives. You can check it out here:
https://www.cardschat.com/forum/general-poker-13/does-poker-affect-your-private-life-352115/ . My question is kind of ass-backwards to theirs.
How many of you let your personal life affect your play and how do you prevent it? This is a problem I sometimes struggle with.
The influence of something on anything in life always happens. In order to identify, understand, see, or diminish the influence of something, it is necessary to determine the primary goals and the secondary ones, and the hardest is not to be mistaken, that is, the importance of the goal, since sometimes one wrong decision leads to the loss of everything. If your personal life influences your
poker game ask yourself a few questions, after which you will make an easy decision:
1) Does your private life imply your other half? How important is it in your life?
2) How much is it particularly important for you?
3) Are you ready to lose it?
4) Are you ready to give up poker, what not to lose it?
5) What did you achieve in poker?
6) Do you know the exact picture of the poker world at the moment or are you living with illusions and dreams?
In this case, it is possible that when you all calmly explain the second half and ask not to infringe on your rights and life and not to influence poker as a component of that life itself. But be prepared for the fact that if the second half leaves you, then it will look like her from the side of not fulfilling your duties that are present in life, namely, to give more attention, to give a better life, and in this you can will understand ...
Decide, although the answer is obvious.
