Poker: A Metaphor for Life
Posted by DrunkBlonde | | Posted in: Poker Tips | Comments (2)Poker: A Metaphor for Life
I have heard it suggested that poker is very much like life. In fact, poker is an excellent metaphor for life. We’re all dealt a hand. Some of us are dealt a good hand, others not so good. The way we play our hand makes all the difference.
In poker and in life we are dealt hands and we must make decisions as to how to play our hands. These decisions aren’t made in a vacuum, so there are risks and rewards that become obvous. Sometimes we choose to become aggressive and at other times we are more reserved, holding back to see how things unfold. We face many struggles where we’re sometimes well equipped and at other times we’re not so well equipped. There is always an air of uncertainty. The best we can do is make the best possible decisions based on the available facts. We are rewarded or punished according to the decisions we make.
We all should strive to make more good decisions than bad decisions. As in life, so it is in poker.
“You play the hand you’re dealt. I think the game’s worthwhile.” C.S. Lewis
