NL Holdem poker is hugely beneficial

1. It let you instinctively know what bully is trying to do, and let you know how to react. 99% unhappiness in this world is caused by bully. I am probably a bully to Sean and Ryan.

2. It shows you in every situation there is always counterstrategy, like stone, scissor and paper. You cannot use one strategy only to deal with all type of situation. You have to use or be ying or yang depending on the situation.

3. It shows you that forgiveness is not touchy feeling, but actually have to deal with folding if the situation warrants so. It show you that kill your enemy is actually raising and is right in half of the situation. Thus both forgiveness and kill your enemy is right, depending of the situation, and if you use forgiveness and kill your enemy at the wrong situations then they are wrong.

4. Game theory is actually reality based, and a 2 dimensional morality higher than the simpleton single dimension Jesus type morality.

5. It teaches you to be detached. Thick face black heart. It teaches you when to move when to be patient.
