I don't remember who wrote about it, but the author said playing poker will change you. I'm really starting to understand the concept. It's almost as if his prediction is coming true.
I don't know when was the last time I was angry. Anger has no place at the table, and it seems to be carrying on in my regular life. I'm still happy, excited, having fun, but anger seems to have really disapated from me. I just don't get mad. That's the good news.
However, I have little to no patience, anymore in real life. This is what he said will happen. We are used to getting instant results. We make a decision and the right or wrongness of it proves out in moments. We use logic to make our decisions. We come to expect that from others, and when we don't get the results we expect, we lose it. I have infinite patience at the table, but almost none in real life.
I find this extremely interesting. It's been happening to me. Has it happened to you?
