Motivation to learn new skills that apply outside poker too.

Reading body language. Controlling my ego. Having fun at all times. Right mindset for different challenges in life.

Just a few titles. I don't have time to explain how and in which ways now.

so far, nothing significant, just a few joys in places, joys of the moment, but I'm not complaining because I like to spend my time playing poker :)

A difficult question. Brought a sense of self-realization. During the tournament I feel better than I really am. Health problems and money problems with unresolved cases go somewhere. In other words, when I play happy well, such a feeling is not possible during other cases.

I realized that I needed to take a break from the computer. When I started playing poker, I sat at the computer a lot, which bored me and took up a lot of free time.

I felt a noticeable improvement in my math. Another point was the changes in decision making as a whole in my daily life.

Thanks to poker, I have become more patient, focused and persistent. And most importantly, I realized that only hard and persistent daily work will allow me to achieve my goals and realize my dreams.

Hello.
For me, poker is a hobby, but thanks to this wonderful hobby, I have become more patient, and it has significantly changed my life for the better. In both poker and personal life, our patience affects our results and our development as individuals.

Mainly patience is what I have developed the most, also the ability to learn from mistakes and correct them.
but patience is the main thing

poker has helped me a lot in my life, it has helped me to organize my time, to have well structured what I am going to do in my day to day, to be perseverant, that way we will achieve the results we want, to better manage the money I have, in general to be disciplined in everything, I think these are points that poker generates, I have always said that poker is more than a game.

I learned to sit in the chair for 6-8 hours, taking a 5-minute break every hour. And I started drinking more coffee.

The most major change for me is aging about 55 years.

Don't know if I'm 55 years wiser, or more foolish.

But I've sure enjoyed it.

I will continue to play until they take the cards "from my cold, dead, hands".

Apparently the main thing I learned while playing poker was to be patient. I realized that patience is the basis for all the positive things in our lives.

To be honest I don't think my life changed a lot after I started to play poker, the good part I think is that I have more patience and the bad part is that I think sometimes I spend too much time playing this game.
