5 Career Lessons from Poker

The game of Poker has been booming in the recent times, and there’s an increase in the number of people going to the casinos and playing online Poker. Online poker can be played on mobile phones too, making it easier for anyone to login and start playing. There’s a lot to learn from any activity that you do. And like any other game, even Poker can teach you a lot of things. Let’s check what lesson poker teaches us: 

Career in Poker


1. Enjoy every bit of the game
A game like poker is meant to give you a lot of satisfaction when played in the correct manner. Each step of the game is to be enjoyed to the fullest. With poker, you make a lot of friends and learn a lot of things from them. Do not expect the game to be a serious one where you’re only playing to win big. Instead, play with zeal and let the game decide your luck for the day.

2. Take the risk
Like they say, “Poker is a game of skills than of chances.” We wouldn’t disagree. Most of the poker players have learned the art of playing through practice or maybe by watching the tutorials or by influence. It definitely is not gambling. In poker, a lot of risks are involved as the players invest money. The return is more like a game of luck. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. But you don’t earn any fame unless you take the risk in this game.

3. Deal with the failure
A good game of poker teaches you a lot of things. One of it is how to deal with failure. Failure does not suggest that you’re a loser. It rather says that you’ve tried but a little less than the opponent. It gives you a reason to work harder for it and win the next time you try and plan a game.

4. Choose the right table
Choosing the right table for yourself is the most crucial decision to make if you don’t like losing. It’s wise to have dibs on the table full of friends who are playing for fun rather than the one that has serious players giving you a tough time. Just take the right decision and play joyfully.

5. Keep improvising with each hand you play
Experimenting with your hands is a part of every game. The game isn’t over without you taking risks and well trying out varied combinations. Try playing with the usual combinations, check and size the stacks, change the positions, etc. Because only experimenting and trying out new things help you improve and win a great hand.


There will be a lot of people with you who would stab you and try to suppress and win. But only learners are winners. There’s no joy in competing with such people. Instead, enjoy every bit of it and keep practicing. That’s when you’d start encouraging yourself and starting to play like a pro and win big!
