An Unexpected List

After playing poker for sometime now, I have noticed that the game develops many character traits which I didn't expect. A good poker player is someone who:

• Is very patient (not looking for a quick buck)
  
• Does not make impulsive decisions
  
• Understands probabilities (Math)
  
• Is self-disciplined (follows self-imposed rules)
  
• Learns from mistakes
  
• Cuts losses quickly
  
• Reasons logically and deductively
  
• Thinks long-term
  
• Observes and remembers well
  
• Is calm under pressure
  

Basically, poker, if taken seriously, can develop wise decision making skills.
