Hi, Steemians! Here she is:
Being a poker player is not just about playing poker. Poker players have some very important habits that help them when they are on the table. Those habits are mainly psychological and observational. If one wants to win a game of poker they need to be aware of the surroundings (other players). They need to follow and study the other players' behavior all the time. They have to possess a mindset that differs from the one of a regular person. Cards are not really that important in this game. Nothing is random. Everything is planned by you or by the other players. This is why in order to win you absolutely have to be careful.
I'm sure you've heard the term muscle memory. Well let's use another term for the sake of this post - mindset memory . If you are a good poker player and you've played enough live games, your everyday life will be different. You will begin noticing everything around you, especially people's behavior. This way you become a better judge of character and it's already set to your "default settings". You would notice every reaction of every person you have contact with and this will help your communication with that person become a lot better. A lot of things would be in your control in terms of relationships with any other person. In other words - your life will be easier and more interesting (a lot more).
Here comes the term Poker Face. If you master your poker face you will be able to overcome intimidation by anyone. People will think "wow, he/she is a really calm and stable person". The poker face is something that is not easy to master, but it's not impossible with the right mindset and enough training. When someone says anything that can bring up emotions in you and you don't want them to see you affected - try turning them off right away. As I said it's not easy at all but if you are able to do it your and probably others lives will be easier. Don't get me wrong you don't have to be a poker face all the time, only when it's necessary. You have to be logical and decide when it's needed. If you are always with your poker face on people will decide that you're emotionless and will not like it (most of them).
Be a "Poker Player" in life - you won't regret it.
