Does Poker have any moral lessons to teach you?

Poker’s biggest lesson is that luck is fleeting, and skill prevails. While the cards may come outRandom, the winners at the table are them that think, observe, calculate risks and rewards. Morally, poker teaches you to stay calm under pressure, not get emotional, and judge people by their bets, not their bluffs. You gotta read people, not just their bets, to really have an advantage.

Another moral is knowing when to walk away. Just ‘cause you're winning don't mean you're smart. Quit while you're ahead - there's always another hand. Winning too much makes for thirsty enemies and bad karma. And finally, there's no "I" in "pot". Poker's about the action between players, the banter and tells, not individual hands won or lost. Morally, it teaches that in life as in poker, we rise and fall together.
