I have learned patience, I am TRYING to learn acceptance when things don't go my way, and I have learned that you can make every RIGHT decision and still lose.

And I have learned that your emotions about what happened does not change the result.

Poker has taught me so much, especially when I became a full time pro.

I believe poker is a microcosm of life. A lot of the lessons you learn in this game are also very important in all aspects of your life.

This game has taught me for example, the importance of a strong work ethic, emotional control, maintaining a healthy lifestyle (diet, fitness, sleep maximization), staying focused on the long run, not chasing fame, staying humble, always continuing to learn.

And so much more.

I found this in poker (Croatian sayings)

If it looks good doesn't have to taste good.
Revenge is a meal served cold.
Wait, wait... and you'll miss your train while you went to toilette.
Patience will make a salvation.
Coward person is a coward person.
Keep your friend close but your enemy - even closer
Don't throw away any stone (dollar) that you will need for a palace.
Rock by rock = house... dollar and dollar - money maker.
Dogs that bark - don't bite
Longer you wait, bigger is the reward !
History repeats itself

All these sayings are transferable to poker tables... try them !

Patience and perseverance, at least these are what this game should teach. Unfortunately, patience is still a problem for me ...

The most valuable thing I learned from poker is patience)

It has taken me a while to learn patience in poker. In life I've always been a little patient. So I guess life has brought patience to the poker table. I feel that this is the foundation of a good poker player and the essence of a quality life skill. The older I get I hope wiser I get when it comes to playing poker. I still like to mix it up a lit bit to much in poker. In life I'm much more straight forward with things.
